Rb20de Dying For Unkown Reason

[thomas32]

Hey guys first time posting so sorry if I dont do this right or I am doing it in the wrong place but I am having issues with my rb20de r32 gts it started last night, I was driving home and then all of a sudden between gears the motor just stopped so I pulled over and started checking if any plugs may have come loose or anything like that put some fuel in it just in case cause I have a rooted fuel gauge, checked it was getting fuel to the motor wich it was. Now after it sat for a bit it just started up again no problem, it did this later again at a fuel station so I waited and surely enough it started again. Now its happened again this morning but now it wont start and ive been waiting for a while now and nothing, my mate says the igniter may have packed it in?? Could this be so? Someone please help.

I had a similarly problem with my rb20det. It would randomly cut out or just stall when idling. I replaced my AFM and my CAS and it's all good now.

Thanks for the advice dude ill give that a shot, another question if it is the igniter (or PTU if youd like) is there anyway I can test it with a meter?

[Dylan454]

I honestly have no idea if you can test it with a Meter. But I'm sure someone with much more knowledge will comment soon.

Hope so haha

Haven't heard of igniter dropping all 6, usually they just develop a miss when she's hot.

I'd be checking AFM and associated wiring.

By far the quickest way to trouble shoot these rockets is to swap items with known working examples, rather than mucking about with multi meters etc.

Mate get it to a trusted mechanic. Would have been better to have it checked thoroughly prior to purchase.

Could be absolutely anything ....

So many get sucked in and buy rubbish. Always have the car checked if your not knowledgeable !

Thanks for the advice guys my mate had a look at it (trusted mechanic) he also says it would most likely be the cas so im gonna check that out, its probably a stupid question but rb25 cas will that work just too see if it fixes the problem? Cause im thinking of pinchin the one off my mates for the day just to check
