Ignition Error - Code 21

Been having an annoying problem with the Stagea (RB25DET Neo) in that the Engine Warning Light comes on intermittently usually accompanied by engine retardation.

The dealer's mechanic have been tyring to fix the problem for weeks now. It started after they replaced the coil packs and fixed a rough idling issue. Now I get the above warning light although car runs fine when the light isn't on. Stopping and restarting usually gets rid of the light and can proceed driving.

The last attempt at fixing it was to replace the Cam Sensor (is this the Crank Angle Sensor? - excuse my ignorance) and change the timing. Worked fine for a few days but it is now back and it is becoming very annoying.

Took it to another workshop who advised it was Error Code 21 and said it was a strange problem and to try the Crank Angle Sensor as a first step.

Searched the forums and found 1 post where it turned out to be loose wires.

Hoping someone has some ideas of where to look next to solve the problem as not enjoying the drive at the moment. Plus thoughts on whether it is safe to drive (both mechanics have said it is).

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Al

sorry to dig up an old topic, but it didnt have any responses and i am having the same issue with my series 2. have also searched the forum and most

other responses appear to be coil packs, however Alan mentions above that doing so didn't seem to fix things 100%.

Basically i've been driving the car since thursday night, and have had the engine light with the rough ride happen twice, and its fixed by simply turning the car off and

then turning her back on. i drove the car quite a bit over the whole weekend and it didnt happen at all, until thismorning.

we had a very similar issue with our one, turn off then on and the fault cleared. it came up as a CAS fault on consult. the CAS was checked and in good working order. the coils packs were replaced and the error went away.

buying new coils is an expensive way to trouble shoot but they are a common fault with neo's it seems.

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
