Werkle Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi All, I am new to this forum and would greatly appreciate any help. The Story... About 3 weeks ago I bought an R34 GTT 2 door... finally... car seemed in good nick, I have done bout 1500km's since and is my daily driver. Mods: POD filter cat back exhaust. (As purchased) Now the issue I started having was the engine light, TCS, and slip lights intermittently coming on, they would come on and go away on restart. Sometimes I wouldn't see them for days. After a search around the forums I put it down to coil packs as the car would have a very slight miss occasionally when the lights where on but apart from that it ran fine minus a little power. Now to the issue at hand, a couple of days go I went to the shops and spent about half an hour there, once I came back to the car it didn't want to start. It would crank about 3 times as usual but it was like it just barely wouldn't start if that makes sense. It would almost fire but just not enough. I let it sit for about 20 mins after cranking it a few times and hey presto... started like normal(the engine,TCS and slip lights stayed on for the drive but car seemed to drive normally). Got home and turned it off and started it again within a minute or two and no problems 3 cranks and off she went no engine light nothing. let it sit fir an hour or so and again no problem starting and no lights on the dash, so I went for a drive for about 45 mins or so and stopped to get some food, again car started no problem. This morning on a cold start as per normal no issues, drove half way to work and stopped to get a coffee(normal routine) came out and again car won't fire. So I let it sit for about 20 minutes and it started like normal...hmmmm... drove to work(engine,TCS and slip lights on) car drove fine. Went into work and opened up, came back out and started the car (no more than 2 minutes since the car was turned off) no problems. so at lunch I started the car again and let it idle for about ten minutes again no issues. Turned the car off and about 2 minutes after tried to start it and it didn't want to start again.... car now stuck at work I'm a noob to R34's so any help would be appreciated. The car is in Kensington VIC if anyone can help it would be great because I don't have a car at the moment and unfortunately I do need a car. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.

SLEEPR85 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 You might have a loose earth cable or something like that dude. Check all cables/link points coming from the battery. Hope its nothing too sinister! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/437213-please-help-r34-issue/#findComment-7162152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werkle Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi that was the first port if call i checked the main battery wiring and earths , all looks good as an uodate the car decided to start and run for a bit today then died and started again for a bit and died again. When it runs it runs perfectly as in I can put a cup of coffee on the motor and wouldnt spill a drop (smooth). Luckely I managed through a friend of a friend to have it scanned today while it was running and it came up with low voltage, ignition and cas faults. I have a new battery for it comming tomorrow as the current battery doesnt want to charge. Will see if that changes anything. In the mean time if anyone would have a cas sensor to suit the rb25det neo that I could borrow to see if that fixes the issue before buying one I would realy appreciate it as my funds are low at the moment and I need to get the car going asap.
