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.

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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
