So I have a s1 r33 . I have only spark and pulse on cylinders1 and 3 while the car is running I pull the plug on each cylinder and injector while running only 1 and 3 do anything.. tho I have pulled the coils out tested it seams to have spark on all coils also pulled the rail off an all six pulse fuel out. bench tested the injectors for pulse an resistance all seem fine the numbers were all the same 11 or 12 ohms i believe.. what could this be ecu? 

Any help would be good.. first time using forum so apologies.. 1st off my car starts..., idles ok but it's definitely not on all cylinders how many I don't no.. like I said engine doesn't change idle speed when I pull the power supply plug on injector 6,5,4,2 or coil 6,5,4,2 

OK, so now we're a bit more clear. When you said "only have pulse on 1 & 3", that's not true, and it was conflicted by what you said in your first post "pulled the coils out tested it seams to have spark on all coils also pulled the rail off an all six pulse fuel out".

What you really meant was "all cylinders except 1 & 3 appear to really suck".

Could be that those other 4 injectors are too dirty to give you a decent dose, the spark plugs are shitty, the compressions are actually really shit and perhaps masked by oil in the cylinders, etc etc etc.

We are not going to be able to remote diagnose this. I suggest you either take it all apart yourself and see what's inside, or take it to a mechanic for a little bit of directed and effective diagnosis.

When you pulled the spark plugs out to do the compression test, what did the plugs on cylinders one and three look like compared to rest? Did you put the same plugs back into the same cylinders after the compression test?  Have you tried new spark plugs?

You said you had power to the coils, use a LED test light to check to see if the computer is switching the earth at the coils. And/or use a noid light to check for injector pulse and report back your findings.

    • 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... HTH
    • 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?
