Rb25Det Won't Turn Over

[top13s]

Hey guys trying to put a microtech lt12s in my 33 4door. I've got a plug and play set up but the power circuit was f**ked. So we've found a new power for the Ecu and plugged it in.

The hand controller said everything was ok and we set the tps to 0 then tryed to start it.

The starter motor was turning it over then stopping suddenly and ticking like the battery was flat. So with the jump leads hooked up to my room mates car we tryed again and it did the same thing, Then it stoped and jus ticked.

So thinking we've done damage we've out the old chipped Ecu in and it's still doing the same thing.

I'm pretty sure I've done the starter motor but I don't understand how. I'm also keen to jus see this Ecu work but so far the plug and play has given nothing but trouble

Can anyone help out please

Put a multimeter on the battery and check the voltage and also the voltage when cranking. Will tell you if its power or starter related

[top13s]

Lol I've jus pulled the starter motor out and put power on it it works perfectly fine :S

[top13s]

Kk we've jus put it back in and cranked it on a spare battery and its still ticking its like it can't get the gear to pop out onto the fly wheel

Can you manually bridge the starter motor? Make sure its out of gear first tho!

Just because it turns over out of car doesn't mean it has torque to turn the engine over they do wear out over time and can fail all of a sudden . Check your battery too if that died sometimes even jumping won't work.

Kk now I've discovered I can turn the engine over by hand anti clock wise then when I go back the other way it gets to a point and stops like its locked up. But yet the car was running and driving this morning

[top13s]

Kk jus about to put the other starter motor in. But we jus discovered with the starter motor out I couldn't turn it clock wise either but I put a breaker bar on it and pushed hard as f**k then it turned over and seems fine now. Ill try another jump and another starter and fingers crossed it works

[top13s]

Kk now it cranks over jus gotta get some charge in the battery

[top13s]

Kk now it cranks fine but its not starting. Wit the microtech in atm

Haven't tryed the old Ecu yet waiting for charge in the battery atm

Sounds like the Solonoid was engaged

[top13s]

Jus discovered it was fuel lol it loaded up trying to start it. We've also discovered the lt12s isn't sending a spark signal but its a plug and play :S

It gets hard to wind by hand because it has compression.

I told you in the first reply to check some voltages and this would have eliminated electrical fault with the start circuit. Hard to help people when they dont listen....

[top13s]

Mate compression isn't that tight. U can always turn it over by hand with effort. But when your pushing hard as f**k and it don't go that's worrying.

I was getting worried as my room mates n12 did the same thing jus before it blew the Ecu.

And was kinda hoping for some advice on microtech plug and play as well.

I was told it would jus go when it pluged in but now I've got no spark and my exhaust is loaded with fuel from tryin to crank it.

[portaz]

The ecu wouldn't cause it to be hard to turn over, flooded with fuel yes but me mechanically tight no. If it were me if put the stock ecu in and get the micro tech fitted for a few hours labour then urs their problem not yours.

[top13s]

Yeah well it's all on now and running. Sorted the no spark issue. Already taken it for a drive and set it up so it can be driven but it now needs to be tuned
