rb27tt Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) i hav a '93 rb26tt thats being a pig!!!!! it stalld on me a week ago then started to over fuel heaps.... had a mate look at in on monday night and it didnt play up when he was there (as usual) then yesterday it started to over fuel and run like a pig again. today it wouldnt hold idle and now it wont crank!!!!!!!!! ive recently changed from a standard computer thats been chiped by mines to an apexi power fc.... tha power fc already had a map for this motor (its not a standard rb26) and it seemed to hold idle a bit more solid than the mines but as i said it wont start now unless its clutched.... any help would be great Edited July 14, 2006 by rb27tt Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/124333-help-me/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked plugs & coils? Injectors can be stuck open from dirty fuel and it has clogged up the injectors. Not cranking? Once again injectors stuck open so there are flooding a few cylinders, this also can be caused by bad plugs (flooded), bad coils or even ignition module. Maybe try a stock ECU? Might be the wrong tune... Checking them one by one will take you closer to you problem... Cheers, Alex.

rb27tt Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) im sure it fueling up... you can see it spitting on the exhaust tip then it evaporates. and when it finally starts it blows alot of black smoke. the mines computer ran it fine untill last sat when it stalld. how do i go about checking coils injectors etc? could it be a prob with o2 sensors or the fuel reg? ive gon efrom owning a datto with carbies to a rb27tt (tomei stroker) im in over my head i think Edited June 29, 2006 by rb27tt Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/124333-help-me/#findComment-2295904 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defiantly sounds like a fuel/ignition problem. Take the plugs out and have a look at the condition. Faulty coil packs usually come from having cracks in them. TRY: *Taping the wire loom that connects all the coils *Replacing new plugs to NGK iridium gapped to 0.8mm *Checking coil packs for cracks (If so try to using silicon to fill them in) *Maybe a new Fuel Filter A few questions: *Is it running a fuel regulator? *Bigger injectors ECT.. *Any other modification you know about? If your running bigger injectors, bigger AFM's, cams ect you most defiantly need a tune. a full list of mods will help. It’s hard to explaining everything set by step. Try getting it to a specialist or a tuner to source out the problem.

FATGTS-R Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 TRY:*Replacing new plugs to NGK iridium gapped to 0.8mm The last thing you want to do is throw $100 worth of plugs at it when your chasing a gremlin. A $20 set of coppers will be fine. A simple fouled plug or split/popped off cooler hose can give the problems you describe. Have you tried a new set of plugs? But as you mentioned the problem has come and gone I would say its likely to be ignition related. And as alluded to by Paul, if the power fc wasnt tuned when connected up to your engine, which is modified, then that wont help much either.

R31Nismoid Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 im with paul Get it tuned. If your running the PFC thats tuned for a totally different car, who knows what its doing. You'd be better of resetting it and starting from fresh with your tuner Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/124333-help-me/#findComment-2297057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
