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.

Pete

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
