R32 Gtr Starting Problem

[edspaged2]

Hey everyone.

Im having problems with my R32 GTR. Hopped in the car today to go shopping and tried to start it up but it wouldnt. It cranks over but it wont actually start up and idle. I thought it might have been my fuel pump so i turned the ignition off completely and turned the key to the 'on'position to prime it. The fuel pump was fine as i could hear the usual buzzing noise it makes. Tried to turn her on again but still wouldnt start up. Another thing i noticed was after trying to start the car the little symbol of the exhaust with heat coming off it lights up on the gauge cluster and starts flashing?! The onlly other problems ive had with this car is my aircon blew releasing all the gas and a slight hesitation in acceleration which only occurs sometimes, but im pretty sure thats got nothing to do with the car not being able to start up.

Up here in Darwin this past week its been raining for the past week or so ALL day so if that bit of info helps? electricals maybe? Please help!

Thanks People!

fuel filter maybe blocked, ur coil packs could be rooted(no spark to ignite the fuel). an also put a very small amount of metho in ur fuel tank to rid of any unnessary water that lurks in ur fuel tank.

Cheers mate! i've bought a fuel filter today and i'll get around to it. if that wont work then i'll check if my coils are stuffed. the car TRIES to start but just wont. i definitely know it aint the starter motor or a flat battery.

just wondering. could i actually just disconnect the hose off the exit of the fuel filter and try start the car to see if fuel flows?

Slightly safer to disconnect the hose off the fuel pressure regulator. (easy to find, just follow the other hose up to the inlet plenum).

The "buzzing" could be the ATTESSA pump pressurising before startup.

have you blown the motor?

spark, fuel, compression. And a working starter motor. Thats all you need

that exhaust symbol doubles as the check engine light

whoa no way! havent blown motor! you tryin to make me cr#p my pants?! heheh. yeah i'll check the coils tomorrow. i got a friend here who knows a good mechanic who will help me out. i got no tools as im at uni i think you may be right about the spark as i'd sometimes be driving and then all of a sudden there would be a slight hesitation in acceleration, then the car would go back to normal, which left me puzzled. the little exhaust temp light flashes too but i read on a thread that its basically just a warning not to park in long grass areas. that wouldnt have anything to do with the car not being able to start. i think its just playin up. Just got the bloody car too, which makes it even more annoying. Hey would anyone happen to have a repair manual for the R32 GTR? every time i try to download it off a previous thread it never works.

Really? so it could be telling me that i got a problem with fuel, air, spark, etc? If so, how can i find out whats wrong to fix it?
