I bought the NZEFI 1000CC injectors with the ballaster resistor delete pack. It started fine for a few days and even drove it to the Tuners dyno and back. Then one day i drove it to work, and on my way out of the office, the car wouldn't start. Unless i put the gas pedal all the way to the floor and then crank the engine over. 

Called the tuner and we tried a bunch of different settings but trying to figure it out now. Anyone else experience this? Haltech Platninum Pro.

After you start it by holding the throttle wide open, does it then idle correctly without throttle or does it stall?

If not it sounds like one of the injectors might be stuck partly open. You could also drain your oil and check for a heap of fuel in it.

If it doesn't idle there is something wrong with the tune (unlikely, because it worked when it was tuned), or something changed on your car like the AAC or cold start valve no longer working correctly.

BTW, I know we are a multi-cultural forum now, but "gas" makes no sense as a term for the pedal that opens a petrol engine's throttle, either directly or electronically.

It idles and drives just fine after starting. A bit rich on the wideband on initial startup but dosen't stall or anything. 
If its one of the injectors stuck open how do i figure out which one?

Gas pedal is the term we use in america lol, we say, "give it some gas", which means give it some throttle.

Post up your injector settings, and also your fuel cranking table.

If it's in ms and not in VE, you're probably flooding the motor during crank.

Very likely this.

Unplug them one at a time and try to start it. A faulty one will be quickly revealed.

Yeah, we know that. But calling it the gas pedal was always daft. America deciding that the fuel was to be called gasoline, instead of petrol was...maybe fair enough. There's nothing too special about the word petroleum to make it necessarily better than the alternative. But the pedal never, not once in the history of the 4-stroke spark ignition internal combustion engine, ever controlled the fuel. It controlled the air. It was the pedal that actuated the throttle. It still is the pedal that actuates the throttle.

Sorry Kevin, didn't mean to raise it, just one of those things that still bugs me after all this time :)

It doesn't make sense that it is a tune issue if it did start OK for a while....having said that this is my cranking table with half the injector you have (550s)

BTW Dose, great movie

It actually means give it less throttle. :wink:

Let's be wary though, if cranking is so far off, what else isn't set right?

Are the dead times set right, voltage compensation etc?

 

It definitely sounds like it's cranking fuel issues, and holding flat to the floor is shutting them down, but I'm with Duncan that if nothing was changed in the ECU at all, and then this started, I'd be more thinking a leaking injector.

 

Do as Duncan said, drop the oil and make sure it's not full of fuel.

Can you show us the Inj Dead Time table?

 

When cranking, does the car start then dies without WOT? OR it's not even starting/catching at all?

If it catches and dies, you may need to add more fuel to the Post-Start Enrichment table

My tuner gave me a few tunes to try while we were troubleshooting this issue, so i believe this was one of the tables where he modified it to be extremely on the high end just to see if it helped. 

What does this table mean? the milliseconds that the injectors are open between 0-400RPMs at the varying coolant temperatures?

Ok so my table is in ms? Ill try to unplug them one at a time. If i unplug 1 injector wont it be misfiring? 

The gas pedal should be called the "air-pedal" 🤣

  • Haha 1

Re the injectors, yes it would missfire but what you are looking for is current behaviour (no start without full throttle) stops and the car starts without throttle (then idles with a miss)

Injector Dead Time Table^^ 

No the car just cranks and cranks and never catches. It will for 1 second act like its catching but die then cranks and cranks and never starts. 

If i push the gas pedal/air-pedal/give it max throttle then it will start.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
