As above. Its hard to explain what its really doing, i can really on tell my story and what ive tryed and soforth, so see how it goes..

ITs started with comming home after a long day at work..... Spent half a hour got changed and went out. Now i drove the skyline home. and it was running sweet as. Now after hoping back in. No go. it seemed it didnt want to even bite on cranking. It was getting spark and getting fuel. (by the looks of it). After 30mins of waiting. she seem'd to of went. GREAT!

40 mintues later of driving. She started to break down. Missing. Coughing. It started with a bit of a miss/stumble on boost. (6psi atm) backing off the throttle and back on cured it. Then it became progressivly worse. Light throttle Intoduced large amounts of missing. And over the cause of 3km it wouldnt of even idle.

TRying to get up a hill was entertaining.

SO i was sitting on the side of the road in pitch back looking around my engine bay with my little pen with a light on the back of it. And noticed my water temp sensor plug had one of the terminals off, inside the plug hosing. Here's me thinking "Yippie" She will go now. Which i was right. Sort of. Still missed only running on 5 cylinders. This got me able to drop this off at a Friends aunty's place so i can come back for it. and so she was safe.

Next day........... **ding**

Had a look. By the looks on every plug. Overfuling. they were all foued and coated in fuel. Cleening them made no improvement in running. as well not it wont even idle.

Ive replaced. "Water temp sensor", AFM, FPR, dizzy cap. Check fuel pump. and line blockages. Spark is strong and timing is fine. The top of number 5 injector is now leaking, yet again i had only just replaced it.

Its now the point of. no matter what i do the plugs foul. Cleen them, bang foul.

Any idea's ?

Its now at the point of. I replaced the FPR 2 nights ago. And the fuel lines seemed to of primed alot better than the other Fpr did. But now my Fuel pump is pulsating. Its getting a perminant 12v sorce from the battery and is Switched throuh a Relay thats trigured off the car alarm.

Sound like what my FJ was doing when I( first got it. Turns out (after much swearing and setting up a compressor to push 10psi into the cooler pipes) that a hose (might have been positive pressure, I guess it couldnt have been vacuum because the engine wasnt running when I found it) under the inlet manifold had come off. It was just in the right spot that you couldnt see it from underneath or above the car and you couldnt really hear where the noise was coming from, but once I put it back on it was fine

It would definitely have been overfuelling with the broken water temp wire - the ECU would think the engine was cold and it delivers much more fuel to a cold engine.

I suspect the excess fuel has destroyed the plugs. I think new plugs should solve all your problems (but I've been known to be wrong before!).

Well, you guys were thinking along the same lines as me, And i replaced all my leads and plugs, with standard bp5es. Its been running better than before i can now rev to 7k, "not much tho" when i used to run out of spark at 5k. This is only on 6psi 3rd gear has a hell of alot of pull.

Heres a good one, Why does 1st and 2nd have no pull, evenknowing its at 6psi, but 3rd gear just honks compared to 1st and 2nd

not that im aware of....my NA C210 was doing exactly that, (l24e) and it turned out to be the afm connection....maybe you have a dodge wire in the loom? check that out...there may be no prob with the hardware at all.

ah, if your relating to my Ovefuling problem, luckly thats sorted. I noted when it was doing it, AFM. and repalced that. which was still doing the same thing. But lucky it took me a while but found out all the leads had broken down. wouclnt show any problems without a load on them

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.

      Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
