R32 gts bonfire! - Drifting forum

Dirty Slag · 05-08-2008, 08:18

Right guys i have an R32 gts which after about a week of owning it started to develop a cutting out problem then all of a sudden it went away until 3 weeks ago when it came back and now just wont start!
I've been through it and worked out that its the injectors that are not firing for what ever reason!
Now this is the weird bit if i remove the cas sensor and turn it you can hear the injectors working and also the coils firing but when you bolt it back on the car and spin it over on the key only the coils fire and the injectors do nothing i've tried a new cas sensor which did nothing i've looked for broken wires loose plugs etc but no job someone please give me some ideas as to what else i could check else i really am gonna burn it!

p.s i will add that i have loads of fuel presure and it is NOT the coil packs which most skyline owners are obsessed with replacing!

Is the cam spline that drives the CAS in good condition?

*Edit-scrap that, I just reread the bit where it said the coils fire but not the injectors*

If the cam sensor is detached from the engine the injectors work!
so cant be ecu!

tommahawk · 05-08-2008, 19:12

if the cas is disconected and the injectors work then i would suggest a broken wire shorting when inplace causing the injector s not to work ??

Dirty Slag · 06-08-2008, 19:00

My thoughts exactly what i need though is as to what wire could cause such a problem!
NOt asking much am i lol!

Dirty Slag · 09-08-2008, 15:32

gonna set fire to it tuesday so if anyone wants any parts give me a bell 07867 797969

Your actually going to set fire to your car? erm, ok.

Dirty Slag · 09-08-2008, 15:47

i'm sick to death of it not working and who is gonna buy a car that doesnt work its worth more from the insurance!

r3k1355 · 09-08-2008, 20:10

don't be silly there can't be that much wire to check for faults, it'll most likely be a dodgy connection give everything a good check and clean

Dirty Slag · 10-08-2008, 09:40

I've checked and tested just about every plug and wirei can get a meter and test light on its the most ridiculous fault i think i've ever seen and just doesnt make sense!
I cant find anyone with enough 32 gts knowledge to help and i dont want to spend a fortune on new parts that i dont need if someone with a 32 wants to come over and swap a few parts thats great but i just cant find another car local!

ham fisted crash chimp · 10-08-2008, 12:59

swapping parts isn't likely to help.

If it's a wiring fault then the new component wont likely work on the same cack wiring.

Have you put the ecu into diagnostics mode?

If so did it give you any codes?

unfortunatley this isn't a fiesta hence no haynes manual, there is some serious knowledge here but the guys aren't miracle workers. I suggest you calm down and do a post about exactly what you have been doing (since before the fault started to now) with the car maintenence wise and mod wise, a few shots of the engine might help (these cars are rare and a good bodge could look factory, these are the guys to tell ya!)

You're probably looking for a broken wire in your loom! As such you'll need to use a multimeter and a mate to test it, I'd test the cas sensor wires first and get your mate to wiggle the wires about while you have your reading and see if it fluctuates? wiring is a bitch even if you can get a comprehensive wiring diagram (my old mans volvo used to blow a fuse every day and we couldn't figure out why till we saw a wire was striking out on the door handle mechanism everytime he opened the door!) so without one it can be very tricky.

change the looms if its a wire fault ull fix it doesnt take long to do either

skyline · 10-08-2008, 21:34

Dirty Slag · 11-08-2008, 18:18
