Hi all I Hav a few problems with my car no wanting to run. I'll give u the basic run down I Hav a Rb25neo in a vl Commodore I'm using all the R33 series 1 accessorys recently I went to install a power fc jetro an had issues with it not powering up but running fine on the standard R33 ecu the issue ended up being the previous owner hacked up the old loom an bypassed the eccs an ignition relay on the loom. Now I have changed engine loom to a new one with all relay's intact the power fc an the standard ecu both power up fine now I'm getting plenty of spark my full pump is working an my injectors are working fine put the car will not fire up. I've changed the cas wiring accordingly to suit the neo cas the pinout is now 1 an 4 are swapped over an 2 an 3 are swapped I take the cas off an spin it an the injectors are clicking an the coils are sparking but the car will still not fire up. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated thanks

What.

I'm sure that I have read this badly written post before.

You are asking people to go out of their way to help you.

The least you can do is write an easily read, sensibly formatted post as a sign of respect.

Anyway, can't answer based on the info you have given.

Specs are required.

I'm sure some people can make some wild guesses for you.

Here's mine.

Injectors too big for tune in ecu.

Sorry I Thort the post was written correctly an the issue in the previous post was fixed with a new loom. As for the injectors I put the standard injectors back in it and it is still doin the same thing on the power fc an the standard ecu. I've spent the last 3 hours double an triple checking everything... and thanks Ben c34 for the links you gave me in my previous post

Yes I put the 850 denso's in it as the car is goin one E85 shortly but than it wouldn't start on them so I put the standard ones back in it an tried the standard ecu an it still wouldn't fire. One thing I did notice was the eccs relay is clicking when the ignition is turned on but the ignition relay on the loom is not clicking at all but somehow it is still getting spark...

Ok so I put new plugs in it an it started up an runs fine on the standard ecu. Now wan I plug the power fc in it trys to start but only seems like it's running on 2 cylinders, does anyone Hav an idear at what would be causing it to do this

The power fc itself is only meant to Hav a tune for 12 pound boost and standard injectors I Hav not messed or tried to play around with the setting I just need to get it running correctly to get it tuned. An the tuner is less than a km away from my my house. The tuner already told me that the power fc should Start an run the car with out a issue. Is there anything different that should be dun because the power fc is a jetro model the map sensor is all hooked up correctly

It's not a brand new computer the previous owner had the tune dun on it. I just spoke to the guy I got the fc off an he said wan it was tuned it had the afm an map sensor hooked up is the correct ? An thanks for the replays bak so far sorry if I sound like a bit of a idiot asking all these questions

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
