Cylinder 3 Just Isnt Firing :(

[Mr_G]

When we were using the multimeter on this, I was checking it against cylinder # 4 and on the trigger wire when I got Sidd to start it was reading a small voltage. It wasnt doing this with #3...

Jason i think we should just plug in another loom and test it out..

Atleast it will rule out one bit part (wiring)

Sid, get ahold of the small electronic box thing that is sitting at the back of the coil packs, try one of those. It's more likely dead then wiring. (And easier to replace IMO

Cheers for that.. will check it out

might just unplug it, clean it perhaps, and plug it back in

If ti has the power transistor at the back, then its a series 1 motor, and it is the likely culprit

Yea i couldnt really find that black box thingy..

However i did find a similar small little black plug..

Anyways guys PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED!!!! so damn happy

This is what i did - could have been any one of these three things

1) Removed that black plug thingy and gave it a clean (just air) and plugged in back in --- no idea if that really helped lol

2) Ok so the day before we spliced this pink wire to read the voltage (this wire comes from the ecu to the plug which connects to the coil pack wiring loom), and we accidently cut the whole thing. I only noticed it today. So it was re-soldered on and fixed it up

3) In the mean time the CAS was cleaned too

Turned the car on and everything worked like a charm

So no idea exactly what it was. Im leaning more towards 2) - the pink wire

Coz im pretty sure if it was my CAS, more than one cylinder would stop working.

Also now that my car is fixed it pulls soo much harder than ever before. It actually feels like a 180kw skyline

SO DAMN HAPPY!!

thank you for all your help also..
