Hi guys,

sorry I know parts of this have been covered and it has been a massive help!! Although I have an issue:

i have an rb20det in my s13, there are no looms in the car apart from the engine loom & fuel pump wires. 

All plugged in and I have 3 power wires into the ecu & 6 ground wires out of the ecu; the car turns over and has injectors tick and fuel spray when fuel relay activated but I have NO SPARK.

i have power, earth and signal continuity from the ecu going to all the coils, cas and injectors; ami missing something from the ecu to tell coils to spark?

i swapped the igniter for a working one(same issue), should I try swapping cas and ecu?

 

thank you guys and sorry if I can’t find the info.

regards,

kev ?

Entirely possible the ECU's ignition outputs have been fried.  Try putting a test light from power to an ignition line from the ECU (at the ignitor would be convenient and see if you even get a flicker of light when the ECU should be switching the output to ground.  Pulsewidth might not be enough to get a glow, but if you do get a glow, at least you can assume that that ECU output is working.

Thank you mate, I’ll try that now and see how it goes, would it be best to mock up a led test light due to low voltage?

If you know anyone with a portable LCD CRO or are willing to buy a cheap USB one for your phone, you could test the waveform more thoroughly.  Otherwise, you may be into the realm of swaptronics.

Actually, if you have or can borrow an analogue multimeter, you might see something on that.  It should sit at 12V (if you probe the ignitor connection from the ECU with the other side of the meter on earth).  If the ECU pulls the ignitor down to earth, even briefly, it might be enough to make the needle flicker down from 12V.

Hey guys, update on the thread- now I have spark (ignition switch wire at the ecu needed relay power to it?)

now I don’t have an injector pulse haha. Injectors have power at each side however it’s not being switched via the ecu; would this happen if the timing was180 degrees out? I ran a new relay to feed the constant injector line, but still no good. Ecu is earthed at pin 107,108 and 116. Also 50 &60

 

have I missed something or do I ha e a dodgy cas or ecu?

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
