Car Won't Start!

[Manuel Kasko]

Titan I also checked the CAS plug and its in there secure

[Got a Pulsar]

Hmmm... I wonder if ECUtalk can connect with a Nistune? I'm guessing yes but I'm unsure.

Try unplugging the ECU and reconnect incase there is a dodgy connection?

Unplug and plug in everything.

[Duncan]

yeah interesting...seems like the basic checks have been done OK.

it is a standard ECU right? plugging in a powerfc and hand controller might tell you more.

The CAS can fail physically, as can the ignitor so it might be worth swapping both with known working ones. I am near Red HIll today but the stagea runs an r34 cas and no ignitor so I don't think I can help.

[B-rice]

i reckon its that modulator thing. Borrow from someone before buying it. Its something very small i reckon because its cranking.Its so close to starting.

[Duncan]

Oh BTW definitely try clutch starting it!

Worst outcome is you have to park it on the side of the road for a while

[Manuel Kasko]

It's running a Nistune Chip Duncan.
The strangest thing is it idled and worked this morning for the few seconds until I went to take off.

That's when everything cut out and it just wouldn't start.

Has anyone got an R33 ignitor that I could try unbolting and using?

It's only 4 bolts on the top of the cam cover to remove it

I might try the clutch starting idea but I will need to get some mates over to help push it up the hill.

Might try that if the ignitor doesn't work

^^ agreed you have spark but is it a STRONG spark. I assume one of you have a multimeter. Do you have correct volts on ignitor cas afm. Are your grounds good, have you possibly knocked any. Is your solenoid for vct switching correctly (cant recall if your running.it with your nistuned r32 ecu)

obviously start small and obvious but if its just coincidence and there is an actual fault. A multimeter can tell you a lot ecu talk even better if possible.

[Sinista32]

did you change battery

[B-rice]

i had a multimeter, should have thought about that.

[Manuel Kasko]

Didn't change the battery Sin because it had plenty of power to crank the engine about 12 times.

Not sure if that's a mistake and I should have done it anyways.

I haven't got a multimeter so can't test voltages.

I wouldn't know what voltages to expect from each part either.

Does anyone know if ECU talk works with Nistune?

[Got a Pulsar]

I have ECUtalk and I reckon it will work with an R32 ECU so I guess Nistune will be OK.

[Manuel Kasko]

What does ECU talk normally do?

Where does it plug in?

Are you south side or north side Rob?

[Got a Pulsar]

ECUtalk connects thru the Consult port and can check for sensor error codes etc... and clear them.

Dunlop my man.

[Manuel Kasko]

Wow that far away haha
I was going to say I would come pick it up tonight if you would let me.

But that would be like 45min away.

[Got a Pulsar]

You are Welcome to it and if it was 4 hours ago, I would be there.

[Duncan]

btw when you say you have to push it uphill to clutch start it, is that because your house is right at the bottom of a hill? because you can clutch start in reverse too. If you are careful (clutch and brake as soon as it fires) you can even do it in your driveway, it only takes a couple of klm/h to start a car.

ecutalk should show most of your ecu values and voltages on a PC which can help with spotting a dodgy sensor like an AFM or TPS (by voltage) or even CAS (by seeing fluctuating voltages)

[Manuel Kasko]

Yeah I have a really steep small driveway that's at the bottom of a hill.

So once it's down the driveway then there is no way I would get it back up there.

Also it would mean leaving the car at the bottom of the hill and pretty far from sight/sound

I would love to roll start it Duncan but it would probably be last resort unless I had some rope to tow it haha

Rob can I come pick it up tomorrow arvo from you?

[Sinista32]

sorry don't have 33 ignitor, Surely there is someone close who can spare 10mins

That plus a good 12volts.

[Manuel Kasko]

You are Welcome to it and if it was 4 hours ago, I would be there.

Does your ECU talk come with a lap top?

[Got a Pulsar]

Finishing work late all this week. (Forced Overtime) KARNT$$$

I'll be home by 5pm. Praps I can just come by and Help ya!

Yes Laptop.
