Hello from Canada!

i just recently picked up my first Nissan a 1997 Nissan Stagea with an automatic, RB25de Neo and an r34 Gtr front end, I'm totally in love with it but I parked it the other night and it was running great, went to start it in the morning and it was running rough. I assumed it was a coil pack that died (my Soarer did the same thing last year) so I parked it, and went to the local importer to buy a coil pack.

came home went to start the car to pull it into the garage... And nothing. Just cranks but won't fire. Pulled the intake apart to get at the plugs, pulled the plugs out and they were wet, I installed new plugs and still the same problem. Pulled everything back apart and pulled the coils out one by one to check for spark. I turned the CAS by hand to check spark. I have spark on all coils except for cyl 3 ( because of the dead pack) 

I'm also hearing the injectors clicking so I have pulse also the plugs were wet so fuel is getting to the cylinders. I thought it could be that one coil pack but after searching forums and speaking to RB specialists in town that was ruled out.

ive also tried changing the CAS, and I read somewhere that try unplugging the AFM, so I unplugged it and still nothing. I'm at a loss. I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this issue! Thank you in advance for reading! (Sorry for the novel)

The silver one with the 260 kit? Welcome to the stagea family!

 

What plugs are you using?

Try disconnecting the injector to cyl 3 and check the plug again after trying to start it to see if it's wet.

clean afm

check tps

clean iac

Thanks Trex! No it's a stanced out white one with a full masa r34 kit, 19" work euroline fe's, and red bride brix seats.

im using NGK Iridiums BKR5EIX, the plugs that came out originally were toasted. But these are brand new.

is there a way to test the tps and iac?

Oddball problem that has stopped my car from starting...

At the front hose to the engine you'll see two water temp sensors. One with one wire (goes to gauge) and one with two - goes to ECU. Pull off the two wires and see if it will start. If it does you need a new sensor. Long shot but simple and quick (and free) to test.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
