R33 Gtr - No Injector Pulse

Hi,

Have an R33 GTR - mods of note running a PowerFC and bigger injectors. Previously tuned and hasn't missed a beat.

Haven't driven car for about a month and the battery died. It was replaced with a new one, and is now cranking and not firing.

The following things have been checked out as okay:

- crank angle sensor

- plugs (not fouled & clean)

- fuel supply (pump, lines etc)

- spark is good (coilpacks, etc)

- AFM (no dry circuits, etc)

However threw on a noid and there's no injector pulse. Any reasons why this would happen or what I can do to get it going? Thanks!

How did you test the crank angle sensor? The crank angle sensor has two outputs one for spark and one for injector. I had the same problem i had spark but didnt have injector pulse, i then assumed i had spark then the crank angle would be fine so i went about testing the injection/wiring side of things. After pulling my hair out for a couple days i was led back to the crank angle after we used a friends scan tool. I changed it for a known good one and it instantly fired up and ran fine. Ryan

that could possibly be my problem i thought the crank angle sensor only timed spark, how can i test for injector pulse, i know my injectors are ok cos i put 12v across them and they click open, but when cranking i dont get any fuel into the cylinders but i have spark.

With the scan tool we noticed we didnt have a signal coming back from the crank angle for injectors but spark was fine. Without the scan tool im not sure how you could test the sensor. I ended up using a an rb20 one from memory and it worked fine.

no it doesnt lol. it sends rpm and no.1 cylinder referance to the ecu.

have you got power at the injectors? one of the 2 wires should have around 9 volts. (after going thru the resistor near the fuse box)

if there is no power at either then you need to check the resistor or a fuse.

if you do then the ecu isnt getting a signal that the engoine is spinning. ie crank angle.

does the fuel pump turn on when you crank it?

the crank angle sends a signal to the ecu that its turning,and where abouts number 1 piston is. the ecu does all the spark/fueling control. just so you understand whats going on.

Hi Dave,

Yep there's power to the injectors, but the pulse is very very weak.

Fuel pump turns on, primes, no problems there.

Dave any idea why i had spark fine but no injector. I assumed (1st rule never assume) the CAS had two outputs and were not getting injector signal. Once i changed the CAS problem was solved. Strange

very odd. as the cas has nothing to do with the physical conection to the injectors or spark. (its not like a dissy) it tells the ecu how fast the engine is spinning and where in the 720 degree engine cycle where number 1 is so yhe ecu knows where to spark and fire the injectors.

did you replace it or a workshop?

Solved.

Traced back to a short in the ECU loom harness. Replaced plugs too and she's apples.

Thanks for your help!

I know this is really old but is there a place you pinpointed the fault to??

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
