I have a problem and was wondering if any one could help me out please!

Injectors 2,4 and 6 do not have injector pulse. 1,3 and 5 do and are fine. All 6 injectors have power. I've checked the 3 ground wires at the ecu and are all reading they are earthed. I've gone around the engine bay and double/triple checked earth points. I can only see the problem as a bad earth problem but would like some feed back.

The engine is a Rb25/30 using a rb20 loom and ecu(nistune), also using all rb20 components. The engine is running just rough, can hold idle though. The only things I don't have plumbed in is the intercooler/pipes and the afm.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

I dont have an rb20 wiring diagram but the rb25 wiring shares a common power feed between all 6 injectors and all are separately grounded through the ECU. Any reason why you are using an rb20 harness? More curious then anything.

I would put a meter on it and check the wires are going to the right place on the ECU. And also make sure that there isnt a break in the circuit. Also check that they are all getting a good circuit from the Ignition relay

If this is fine then you will need to look at the ECU side. Is the ECU being grounded properly (what sort of ECU is it, is it setup correctly?)

I'm using the rb20 loom because it's the simplest way of going about it, I'm not running vct and I'm using all the rb20 sensors. I've previously had the ecu(nistune) tuned with my rb20 before it decided it wanted to die. I forgot to ad it's in a r32 if you Havn't already guessed.

Ahhh okay, on the diagrams I can find the rb20 computer only has 3 injector grounds.

I'll have another look tonight after work and see if I can solve it. Thanks guys..

Duncan, RB20DET doesn't use a resistor pack.

Sinista, only the coils utilise a PTU.

RB20DET ECU grounds injectors through pins 101 (1), 105 (2), 103 (3), 112 (4), 110 (5), 114 (6). Pins 107 / 108 connect the injectors through the ECU internals to earth.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
