I may have fouled the  plugs now with all the cranking.

maybe cas has been broken somehow.

you can remove it and turn it by hand....you should hear the injectors squirting fuel. And yes you may have fouled the plugs with all that cranking

I'm not quite ready to fire bomb it. not sure where the coild packs earth but will check it out tonight.

the final (rear) bolt (12mm) that secures the alloy coil pack frames should have an earth eyelet under it.

Did putting spark plugs in it make any difference? :rofl:

Sorry Adam, we always leave them out so it can be cranked easily to bring up oil pressure. I just bolted the coils back in so they wouldn't get damaged in freight (maybe that was a lucky thing).

I'll fix you up for the plugs, we always throw them out when we do an engine, we've had too many problems with people reusing the old plugs and having a miss or hard starting problem.

It runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111111111

You'd never guess but the engine builder didn't put my spark plugs back in and I just assumed he had. I did notice that it was cranking fairly easily.

Put some new plugs in last night, a little bit of stuffing around and away she went.

I don't have a video recorder but I was laughing hysterically when I pulled out the first coil pack expecting to find a fouled plug but instead found no plug.

hahaha. Just a little difference!

Oil pressure was good obviously.

I probably would have thrown the plugs out myself except for the fact that they were iridiums with about 2000k's on them.

:):):D That one of the funniest thing i have read in ages, how we over look the simple things sometimes. Well all the best with the run in as i'm doing the same, up to 370kms now and everything looks sweet.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
