Hi guys just wondering if anyone can help me out, my car has trouble starting pretty much all the time, it cranks for a while before it decides to start (most times roughly 10 times it cranks for, it never used to be this bad) the battery and alternator are all ok and everything is charging ok, in some cases it doesnt start and keeps crankin till it flattens the battery

The only thing i can think of is the fuel pump as it is cranking but there isnt any fuel there??... i could be wrong..

Anyone had trouble like this?? anyone can gimme any suggestions

Thanks guys

you have probably done this already, but check fuses. Failing that if its an external pump locate it, give it a fkn smack. try starting up again. they get jammed, i guess this can happen as a result of a mechanical problem or from running the tank right near empty and its sucked in a whole load of crap.

yeah when i hook a battery to it, it still cranks a little while but starts, i will try change the battery regardless as its still the original one,

once car is started it runs like a dream:)

plugs where changed not long ago so im assuming they are all ok

I will change the battery and take it from there

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
