92ceffy flooded, rb20det wont start, cough,sputter or anything


Recommended Posts

It isn't hyro-locked, if it was it would not turn on the starter. 

However, that doesn't rule out a bent rod (rods will bend as they are applying the force from the crank, valves will be fine)

The JECS resistor pack is just a set of resistors that increase the resistance to the injectors, it won't have failed, particularly if the injectors are opening/closing when you turn the CAS. The ignitor pack on the other hand might be an issue, perhaps the spark is weak.

However, on thinking again, I wonder about the exhaust and in particular muffler being blocked. Can you disconnect the exhaust from the front pipe down near the gearbox and try again?

Motor was locked. Will be doing comp test when i get back to my house, couldnt find my gauge..

I used the blow function on a shop vac to ensure exaust was not blocked. Put to pre turbo intake and plugging tb pipe

I have 2 rb' so I have taken a second ignightor and tested. When plugs are grounded to the block on all 6 there is a strong spark no change in spark between ignightors.

If the resistance pack is recieving power wouldnt that increase resistance and result in injectors spraying more fuel and adding oxygen. 

I'm at the point of diagnosing no combustion despite there being timing spark and fuel.

One thing I'm seeing is I can crank for a solid 2 min pull the plugs and they are dry for the most part.

Can someone tell me what the resistor is supposed to read on a meter? Is it powered? When I test mine it reads zero on ohms and volt

When you say "motor was locked", when, how did you learn that, and what did you do to unlock it?

The resistor pack should have 5ohm between pin 3 and all other pins

If you want to test the spark side, here are the resistor pack and coil pack values

Noting this is RB26 not Rb20, but 99% sure they are the same

    • Neostead, I'm looking to have a custom surround done that also has a slot for a fog light. Would you be willing to create a 3d model I can buy or create and ship me the part or even provide/sell the current model for me to modify? Cheers
    • Did some maintenance on the MX5, did the engine oil and filter which was uneventful, then I drained the coolant to put in the new reservoir and a thermostat, reservoir took 5 minutes  The thermostat, well that took.........3 bloody hours, what a job, the issue was the 3 bolts holding it on, one was easy, 2 were hidden and required a few 1/4 drive extensions, 1 more than I had, and a 1/4 swivel, which I also didn't have, and a good amount of playing contortionist  Getting the 2 unseen bolts back on was a time consuming nervous nightmare, as I couldn't see where they went there was alot of stabbing and hoping for the best, trying to line up a 8 mm bolt straight, which you cannot actually see or get a hand in there, with a 1/4 swivel in the mix was a nightmare Anyways, it's done now, all burped out, and run up to temp a few times, happily no leaks thank Jebus After the thermostat fiasco I decided I need a few mental health days away from tools before doing the rest of the servicing on it As for the Dunnydoore, it had the aircon regassed and it has a clean bill of health, thinking about taking it out on Monday for a cruise down the coast to look at some houses if weather permits 
    • In other important race car news, instead of fixing the race car I changed the crank seals on the chainsaw, because wood burner Some damn tight (and lock tighted) m6 head bolts Who knew plastic crank cases were a thing! Quick tip, don't trust the youtube videos that say you can pull the old seals out with the head on in a husky 440e...not true, their crank seal tucks in behind the cover both sides. I'm not sure I'm a psychopath, but these things are damn loud....hope I can put all the bits back in the right place    Happily, it is now back to turning fallen trees into a combination of firewood logs and wood chips....just need a clear day to get into it properly
    • I've got 60L of e85 in there at the moment
    • Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.
