Car Wont Start!

[Tony1981]

Was wondering if anyone can help me get my car started,

Its an R30 skyline with EFI'd L24 engine it in, i seem to be getting pretty good spark - but not sure about the fuel,

I cannot hear the fuel pump when car is on accessaries or start, i also removed the line from the fuel filter (in the engine bay) there was fuel in the filter, but i was thinking fuel should piss out when i turned the key to acc or start? this did not happen..............

Anyone got any suggestions?

Check relays and fuses, if all ok check power to the fuel pump. All ok probally fuel pump.

unplug the ecu and plug it back in. same with the afm plug also

Had a similar problem a while ago; It was a dying fuel pump. I extended the life of the pump with a 15" adjustable wrench - just give the pump a tap or 2, and it might jump back to life for a while.

I have the exact same problem with my L20ET, and have had many a auto spark look at it whilst straching their heads.. i can tell you that it will either be the ecu (old/dry soldier joints), the relays/fues. The problems that develop with those old ecu's is a strange one because it wont do the smae thing twice.

the ecu just simply wont send any signal to the relays/vaccum sensors (one over next to the left strut) or in my case to the shitty little computer in the boot that apparently controls fuel and boost signals.

good luck.

try resetting the computer by disconnecting the battery for a little while, a good spray in the fuse box with some water dispersent, and kick the ECU in the guts a few time if theat doesn't work

Sorry to hijack this thread, but David I don't see you on the Classic Skyline register yet.

But my main question, is your 4 dr a Paul Newman Version or stock HR30, as we are trying to locate a 4dr version, last seen in Qld.

Cheers, D

Checked the fuel pump computer? Mine wouldnt start for 6 months because that damn computer was stuffed.

mine has a computer in the boot that apparently controls the fuel pump and turbo (boost volumes?)

I'm in the same boat, needing a new ECU as mine is getting very tempremental these days.
