Car Won't Start

[ben_wha]

Ok. So I was driving on Saturday, and when I gave it a bit (under full boost = 10psi) it would hit a wall kind of like boost cut at 4500rpm for 5 secs then kick into boost again.

Checked over a few things that I thought could be the problem.

1: cleaned afm and plug.

2: tightened intercooler piping and checked for boost leaks.

Nothing worked

Was running and driving fine apart from when I put my foot down.

Then this morning I went to start it up and it wouldn't kick over. So I got a new battery since the one I had was a lil old, put it in and still no dice

All the belts are moving and its just on the point where it wants to kick over, which makes me think it could be the starter motor??

Car was also recently tuned.

Car: Silvia

Engine: Rb25det

Mods include, splitfire coilpacks, turbo back zorst, Apexi avcr, apexi safc, platinum plugs, intercooler, brass button clutch, nothing major.

Any suggestions would be great.

cheers, Ben

Forgot to mention that I replaced the plugs yesterday and nothing has changed.

So it's cranking, just not starting? If that's the case, it wouldn't be starter motor. To eliminate that, try jump starting it. If it starts, that'll be the problem. It still would explain the problems under boost.

I would have said coil packs, but you've said their spitfires so that wouldn't be it. Have you had any work done to the car recently?

Check the ignotion system. Is the car getting spark? Is it getting fuel? Are there any plugs that have fallen off? All the vacuum lines attached? I'd check all these first, and then take it to a mechanic.

may not be the reason for u, but when it happened to me just recently it was because of shit fuel.

You need air, fuel and spark to start an engine. Seeming as though you havent listed an aftermarket fuel pump (possibly meaning your still running the 15 year old standard one) under mods that would be the first thing I'll be checking.

[ben_wha]

Sorry forgot that one, I have an 044 in there.

I can hear it priming fine.

Did you start it after you changed the plugs or is this the first time trying to start after doing the plugs ?

[ben_wha]

Before and after, made no difference.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Series 1 or 2 motor ? Could be the igniter module if it's Series 1.

[RRob]

Is there a RPM reading on the AVCR when cranking? Like 150-200 rpm?

Could be fuel pump, Had the same thing happen to me.

try checking the coilpack wiring loom as this can deteriorate overtime which will also cause the car to not start apparently some people who replaced the coilpacks didnt realise that while doing it they might have damaged the wiring as overtime heat caused the wiring to be crispy and would crack easily

[ben_wha]

Changed the ECU and ignitor module yesterday, neither worked, there was no spark at all. So the problem lies between the module and ECU (as said above, in the harness somewhere).

My thoughts, it could be the resistor?

IS anyone an auto electrician on here or know someone that can come to me as the car doesn't go. For cash

Oops nevermind.

Ok due to further comments from other individual people, it may be the CAS.

So before I take it to an auto electrician, i'd like to test another CAS. So if anyone has a spare they can lend me (just to test) that would be great.
