R32 Gts4 ECU burned Resistor...advice

Quote


 

let me preface this by stating I am no electrical guy.  I can do mechanical, but thats about it.  Anyways, I upgraded my turbo and injectors and then installed my Nistune ECU a few weeks ago.  The motor when fired up sounded like a wrx...found that unplugging coilpack #4 yeilded no change...boom, dead cylinder.  Pulled the injector, injector is fine....then thought to check ecu since it was just sitting on my floorboard...Burnt resistor that corresponds to cylinder 4.  Now, i dont recall disconnecting my battery before doing all this work, and am hoping that may have been the cause as i was moving a lot of stuff around and out of the way.  I am replacing the resistor, but would like to know what else I should be looking at that could have caused this, besides me being an idiot and not disconnecting my battery before doing all this work.  Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

Yah, a computer repair shop is replacing it for $15...should have it back today....just trying to prevent a failure again....battery is already disconnected and will be connected after everything is in position.  Posted on Nicoclub.com as well.

I sent the ECU straight to Nistune in Australia to ensure it was installed correctly.,,no way thats the problem. I just installed the ecu with the new resistor installed...cylinder 4 still dead, but resistor is good.  Ran noid tester and injector is firing...going to test ignitor next.  Finding conflicting info on how to test...

Ok, so installed the repaired resistor ecu, used  the injector nodes, injector is firing and the the problem is still there...definately no spark.  Since the harness goes to the ecu and resistors off the ignitor, i measured the resistance across the 6 pinouts..all measures the same except cylinder 4 wire, which read .02.  I need to do more testing, but does that imply that wire is being grounded somewhere? Can someone please test theirs and see what they get?

Has your coilpack been blown out? Burning out a resistor isn't a small feat. It looks like a 22 ohm resistor, and it probably had a constant 12v across it to burn it out like that.

However if the output was stuck on, that would have burned out the coilpack?

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
