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?

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

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
