Hi ppls

Ive been putting my car back together for a while now. Now that it is together, the damn thing wont start, we put new spark plugs in it last night and it doesnt seem to be getting any fuel, fuel pump is working but the injectors dont seem to be working at all. I need to check that i have an r32 gtst computer and not some random the fella i bought the car off picked up at the wreckers. So if anyone can help with a part number that would be greatly appreciated.

The codes written on the side of the ecu are MEC-R212 B 1X22 Those are on the front on a nissan tag. Also on the side is MEC-R212 B 06645

We pulled the spark plugs out and after trying numourous times to start it they were dry and had no signs of any fuel getting to them, also when we were trying to start the car and feeling the injectors you couldnt feel them pulsing whereas my mates car was very noticable, thats why we are guessing its the injectors.

Thanks guys.....Brett

yeah im pretty sure the lines are on the right way, we pulled the line off to make sure there was fuel being pumped through. wouldnt the injectors still be pulsing to try pump fuel into the engine even if there wasnt any fuel there? coz they definitely arnt doing anything.

One of the green relays down behind the ECU controls power to the injectors. Make sure that both relays (the other is for the coils) are switching on when you set the key to "ON".

Trace the fuel line from the FPR back towards the the fuel tank. If you run into the fuel filter, then the fuel lines are on the wrong way round. But that shouldn't stop the injectors pulsing.

While you had the plugs out, did you check that you had spark?

I have on old ECU, but its from a GTS4. The Nissan P/N is 23710 04U60 (It has MEC-116 A 9810 just above the "Hitachi" on the label)

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
