R33 Problems Wont Start Cas (crank/cam Angle Sensor

[sapsR33]

Hi all,

ive been having problems with my R33 lately, about 3 months ago my CAS shit itself so i got a new one and it was fine.now a couple of weeks ago it started doing the same thing , cutting out while driving, when at lights stationary even when warming up it would idle then die.

So, i bought another CAS as i thought this was the problem again.I took my car to Race Pace for a cam gear install and to chack out the problem.

The car was there for 2 days and never missed a beat so they couldnt rectify it but they did put in the new CAS just incase.

NOW, this morning i went to start my car and nothing happened, it wont crank over at all

CAN SOMEONE HELP?

The car isnt even turning over? Or it just isnt firing now when you turn it over?

yeh need to be abit more specific to start with mate.

[sapsR33]

sorry guys

it sounds like it wants to start but wont turn over. when i asked the guys at Race Pace they said it was unusual to have 2 CAS shit them selves within 3 months and that it might be another problem like an AFM. could it be something else?

The usual would be check to see if theres fuel in getting in there, afm if its stuffed im sure would cause over richness, But best bet is pull the plugs to see if they are wet from fuel. Next would be see if you have spark you know how to test that? and in specifics do you mean you turn the key and the starter just keeps winding over trying to start? im sure thats what you meant, also doesnt hurt to check fuses especially for things like the injectors fuel pump. also another thing if the plugs are dry, just get a friend undo the return line at the fuel rail and get your friend to just turn it onto the "On" position not start it to see if the fuel pump is sending fuel? Thats a few things there for you to try out Hope they help But generally if the afm "is" stuffed you should atleast get a beat out of your engine im sure

thanks for the info mate ill check all that out, as its probally best to start eliminating all the little things first. its just so hard to comprehend how the problem comes and goes, one day its fine the other day its not and now its just looking pretty

[MANWHORE]

Are you still using the cam belt cover? If not, did you know that you have to space the cas out?

[Risking]

Give it to a workshop and leave it with them till it fails. Then they can use the appropriate tools and diagnois the problem properly. You really need a spark tester and a noid light on the injectors as a minimum to eliminate the CAS and determine exactly whats missing from the equation.

Check trouble codes, could also be Igniter module. If motor isn't turning over, then its none of these problems.

the cam cover is still on, but the problem was there before the cam gear was even put in,even after i picked it up from the tuners it was fine till this morning. Race Pace is highly SAU recommended tuner with high experience with skylines. I would think he followed correct procedure when installing the cam gear.

Well i guess i got to put it on a tow truck and take it to them if there is nothing i can do to fix the problem.

If your car isn't starting and your battery isn't dead there is 3 main things to look out for...

1: check for spark

2: check for fuel supply

3: check compression

If you find all 3 of these things are fine, then start checking to make sure sensors are plugged in and not faulty, for eg throttle position sensor. If compression is fine but there is no fuel or spark, check CAS. If you are in Sydney and need assistance, drop me a pm and I'll give you a hand!
