R32 Rb20 Wont Start

[beRwick_GTRage]

Hey everyone

About a week ago i tried starting my car a couple of times, it wouldnt start. I realised it had no fuel , so i put 10 litres in

and tried starting it again. Nothing, the gauge read there was a decent amount of fuel but it didn't start.

The engine cranks but it doesn't fire.

I jump started it and it didn't start.

The engine is definitely getting fuel.

The injectors are working - used crank angle sensor to check.

And there is spark

Im running a wolf v500 ecu i swapped it with the stock one and still didn't start, i used consult but consult wouldn't turn on????

What could be the problem??

The engine cranks but it doesn't fire?? Could it be a CAS related problem?

Could i have damaged something trying to start it with no fuel?

fuel pump?

fuel pump?

i thinks its working, i took of one of the pipes and it was pushing fuel to the engine

If your sure you have a good spark and fuel getting to the cylinders then perhaps its IGN timing? I would have thought it would still cough and splutter. What was done to the car up until the time it wouldnt start?

we checked the fuel and its defiantly pumping into the fuel rail, then we checked the injectors by pulling the CAS out and spinning it and the injectors were ticking fine but im not 100% sure if they are working while cranking.

we pulled the first plug, it had a fair bit of carbon on it but was still sparking fine, do you think it might be worth checking the rest?

as far as i know the car was parked and nothing touched, but it was running on low fuel lvl's for a while not that it should matter?

im thinking maybe the fuel is bad but still i'd expect it to start.

it was interesting that we couldn't get the consult to work, so it may well be an electrical/ECU problem?

Having run out of fuel, you may have picked up a heap of crap which is restricting flow through the filter. You may not be getting sufficient fuel pressure to provide enough fuel to start.

What does the Wolf say while trying to start (injector time, ignition timing, etc)?

I didnt check the fuel filter, but the battery is reading 9.9V and when i jump start it the battery only goes to 12.0V

Ignition was 30.6

and Injection was 24.88

thats with the key at ignition

When i try starting it the wolf hand controller turns off.

thanks

When i try starting it the wolf hand controller turns off.

Don't think it's supposed to do that. Try connecting a laptop to see what's happening.

Failing that, talk to Robbie at Wolf.

[beRwick_GTRage]

It started!!!! I changed the plugs and it started.

No smoke, runs as good as ever

thanks

9.9V is really low. its meant to be around the 13 mark

hows your battery?
