Hi Guys,

I've had some issues with my 32 gtr. Mods include: GT 2860R Turbos, Cooler, Splitfire coils, PFC. Currently making 275 @ all four.

I've had some severe missing issues with the car lately. It got to the point where the car was running constantly on 5 cylinders, even on idle. I was getting knock levels up at around 105!

I took it to my mechanic and he changed spark plugs, tested coils, changed ignition amp, cleaned AFMs, replaced the wiring harness, comp tested motor. Car was running fine for about 30mins before it started again.

I put in my old ECU, took the car for a drive and after about 30 mins it started doing it again. I put the ECU into diagnostic mode and error 45 came up - injector leak.

So what exactly does an injector leak mean?? Do i need new injectors?? Could it be fuel pump??

Any help would be appreciated. ;)

Cheers

Its means the injector is leaking... Probly one of the o-rings is split.

Im not sure how it would recognise this fault, maybe a big vary in one of the inj duty cycle?

The knock sensors can pick up noise from the missfire and log that it was detonation, And In your case it sounds like the spark plugs/plugs are foulded.

Pull the injectors out replace the o-rings in all injectors, even while their out get them flow tested/cleaned make sure theirs nothing wong inside the injector - I wouldnt think this is common.

Also if it was that bad, change the oil... fuel in the sump = spinning bearings!

See how you go!

No such thing as error code 45 according to the R32 GTR factory WS manual, you'd better re-check. In any event the stock ECU diagnostics aren't set up to detect injector leaks as already suggested.

id be surprised if the ecu could detect injector leak also, it would have no way of knowing. read the powerfc faq in my sig, theres a known misfire bug in the r32 gtr powerfc and it outlines a working fix for it

    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
