I understand this setting ajusts fuel enrichment on starting ?

What settings do you use ? Especially interested in knowing from those of you with bigger injectors.

Reason I am asking is, I find that my car is hard to start when it is hot or has been running for a while.

Cold start is fine - it kicks over first pop - no worries - even from dead cold.

But when hot - it takes maybe 3-4 good cranks before it will start. Sometimes I have to leave it for a while.

I guess it might be coil packs or fuel pump - but I doubt it - cause the only thing I have changed recently is the the PFC (replaced from Microtech where it was starting fine)

Any other suggestions ?

Cheers,

Brendan,

My car does the EXACT same thing... Perfect from dead cold, perfect if I start it up again within a few minutes when hot, but if I leave it for a while when hot, it takes 3-4 long cranks to fire up.

I thought it was my Bosch 044 fuel pump, but I dunno anymore... I really need to give Paul (Stace's pit bitch) a call, he said he went through the same troubles with Stace's car, but I haven't gotten around to calling him yet :looney:

Possible factors:

Power FC Pro

GReddy 800cc injectors

Mines AFMs?

Bosch 044 Fuel Pump

Makes it hard because I had so many things changed at once, troubleshooting is going to be a biatch :D

I had a look at the Cranking table... Interesting that you can't adjust spark timing, but only injector width?

And what do you reckon the temperature is? Water temp?

FIXED IT ! Woo Hoo

 

Changed Cranking enrichment from 3.0 ms to 6.0 ms @ 80 degrees

I'm gonna become me a car tuner :rofl:

hi guys

we run 4.0ms at 80deg and 7.0ms at 50deg, if thats any help. 720cc injectors are used, but staceys cranking prob was pump feed voltage drop. Merli if any probs call me if you want to discuss further.Paul.....DIRTgarage

Do you mean ignition timimg ?? Cause you can on the timing map - 1st set point is 400 RPM.

Unless you mean something else ??

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
