Ok, as you may know already i went and got another compression test on friday and the results were good, but now the car is running shit and coughs and splutters and dies under any acceleration at all,

i noticed the first time i started the car after the test was completed the screen of the turbo timer which is normally GREEN was RED.... so obviously it is sensing something is wrong..

obviously they have stuffed somthing up while putting it all back together.... but what could it have been?

i think they put the coils back in the wrong order they took them off but would this matter?

maybe another wire or something they have mucked up... or left un connected???

anyone have any idea what the problem may be? or has anyone encountered this problem themselves?

any help would be very much appreciated.

A boost leak? thats why the tt is red?

Coil packs can go in any order.

maybe..... it seems to get worse at about 3000rpm, just as the turbo starts to spool... but what ever it is it has been triggered by them doing the compression test, it was fine before that.... now its not.... so i dunno.... any other ideas anyone?

To do a compression test they would of had to take the cross over pipe off, a boost leak would occur if they didnt tighten the clamps up tight enough, god knows it happened to me.

PROBLEM SOLVED.....

ONE OF The HOSE CLAMPS WAS f*kKIN LOOSE AS, YOU COULD SPIN IT WITH YOUR FINGERS, SO OBVIOUSLY AS THE PRESSURE STARTED TO BUILD AT 3000RPM WHEN THE TURBO WAS BOOSTING.... THE PRESSURE WOULD LEAK.... BUT STILL THE TURBO TIMER SCREEN IS STILL RED.... I CAN CHANGE IT TO GREEN BUT IT DOESNT STAY GREEN AND EVERYTIME I TURN THE CAR OFF IT DEFULTS BACK TO RED.... ANY IDEAS....?

ITS A BLITZ full auto turbo timer (FATTX)

I dont know anything about them but it could mean there is still a small leak somewhere else or it needs to be reset. :P

also solved, as far as i know it defaults back to red when its been diconnected..... i now have changed it back to green.... its a little less "worrying" to look at now..... :)

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
