Hi guys,

Well I'm almost there, but I am currently S.T.U.C.K with an injector problem...

The Injectors will not fire and hence it wont start.

I have tested the injectors with a golbe and they are not getting any power/signal.

I am sure that it will run once they are firing but I can not work out why they wont fire.

The fuel rail has pressure, I have had the TPS out and it tested fine but has been rebuilt to make sure.

The throttle system seams to be working fine.

We have perfect spark.

just no fuel.

I have thought about trying a different ECU but surely given spark is ok it wont be the ecu? Perhaps its the Injector power supply? is there a fuse for the injectors?

Any ideas? very frustrated....

Cheers Stirlo!

Cheers, but its not actually in any of the fuse box's, we have gone that avenue, we think that it may be the GTR's injector control system? as it may have failed or have a fuse in it. But we dont know where it is and or how, the 32GTR service manual does not specify (ie where is the power supply located and how does the control system work?)

if you are checking the injector cycle with a a test light to the ametuer it looks like they are ****ed cause you would think they need a power pulse or a constant power to fire them but this isnt the case on a gtr. I cant remember its been a while but i think there is a constant earth and the computer provides a week power pulse, its been a while but i remember when i first checked a set i thought they were stuffed cause they didnt work how i expected them to.... best thing is to take the rail out leaving the injector sin and wired and turn it over and see if they are working or not!!!

Yeah I dont have a spare ecu atm, but I have been told if spark is ok then the ecu will be ok. there are no error codes on the ecu, it comes up normal.

mate - must just be a loose wire there somewhere.... are you getting ANY noise/ action from the injectors??? I sould be able to lend you my ECU shortly (unless someone has one you can borrow now?) - unlikely, I know - but worth a shot.... Did all the power feed wires get reconnected back to the positive terminal of the battery?

you have fuel pressure at the rail - yes? could always pull an injector and try it on someone else's loom to see what it is doing (I think the injectors themselves are fine). I bet it is something simple...

we re-addjusted the TPS and reset the ecu, checked voltages at teh ecu etc, but could not fault it.. however! apon doing a screw driver test, have now got the injectors firing and a strong fuel smell,... but we had lost spark???? fixed a fuse and have spark again and fuel...

BUT...

she will not start, it splutters and pops but will not run gets close at times, but just wont catch and run.....

Timing??? thats what it sounds like, Maybe the CAS? I guess the big Q is why?

I have reset the ecu over night and will give it a hit tonight to see if it just comes good.

but Yeah Daniel I would really appreciate a lend of one of your spare ecu's???

could just plug it in and see if it go's! - This would be nice, but judging by the list of problems I have had not likly!

did you actually get an accurate compression test done on the car?? does it blow smoke when cranking?

the only way to adjust the base (idle) timing is via the CAS, so check this and make sure its in the right position for 20 degrees... even still i have heard/seen people advance and retard their CAS stupid amounts and the car still starts (has no down low power, but still runs) so i dont think its the CAS and/or timing, unless the timing belts not on correctly?

if you get hold of another factory ecu, run diagnostics on yours and it. if both show up ok, sounds more mechanical than electronic to me (and things like timing are electronically controlled on the rb26).

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
