Hey all,

In an attempted theft:

- ignition barrel fked and wires cut

- HKS FCon piggyback ECU was ripped out, several wires in the harness damaged

- alarm was ripped out

- the car was in ACC mode, unable to be turned off (due to ignition damage) until the battery died

:D

Car is on the mend though.

The autoelectrcian has just put in a new ignition set and removed the spliced ECU harness as we're just using the standard ECU to get the car running for now.

However he has tried to start the car and it won't turn over. According to him there's no inejctor pulse. Any ideas why?

The car has aftermarket injectors btw.

Thanks!

Any chance the alarm/immobilizer cutout is still open open circuit?

Are the relays at the ecu clicking on when the ignition is switched on and the ecu getting power? Because the injectors are fired directly by the ecu (negative trigger) with a switched power to the other side.

Is it turning over (as in the starter works) or not at all?

Pretty sure the immobiliser circuit isn't tripping. Sparky said that it's turning over, ECU is getting power but there's no spark and no injector pulse.

The ignition harness was hacked pretty badly and he says it could be a problem with the ignition supply..still trying to pinpoint it though.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
