started, dropped the timing belt mashed valves etc

resolution, rebuilt the head

now, wont run properly,

symptoms

WONT start cold with out "start ya bastard"

missfires and stalls till at full temp

wont make boost unless i feather the throttle

hold it flat and it wont rev over 2400, or make positive pressure

generally wont run without great difficulty

im about to burn it to the ground.

legit, i have another er34 im building and this one just sits in storage, bad things are going to happen

any help is appreciated

Obvious question, if the heads been rebuilt and cams have come out etc i'd be checking that the cam timing (in terms of their relation to the crank and the other cam) is correct.

Sounds like the timing is out

If the AFM was dead it still should idle

Somebody correct me if im wrong?

But if temp sensor (ecu temp sensor) is open circuit, wont it just assume a standard running temp and it wont add cold start enrichment or cold start timing?

I had chronic cold start issues on a rb30et I used to own, would crank for 40+ sec before stumbling into life followed by 1/2hr of very poor running.

it was the engine ecu temp sensor, and it didnt run right.

To make sure take the lead off the water temp sensor (the one with two terminals) - ecu should provide a default cold start map (at least stock one does - don't know about pfc).

If using a Cheap china ffp, could be worth checking the flange and pressure testing it....

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
