My Skyline Wont Start

[shaun_perry]

My skyline has been sitting in my shed for about a year and a half and I have started it and run it regularly.

It has bee about 2 months sinse the last time it was run and I went to start it yesterday and it would not fire.

I have checked all the fuses and relays. We did however find that there was no fuel pressure and found an earth problem with the fuel pump relay so we cut the earth wire and created a direct earth. Fuel pressure returned but the car still wont start.

Could it be an ECU problem, as we replace and remove the earth cable from the battery after we runn the engine everytime????

We are going to wind the car over again and check a spark plug next to see if the injectors are firing now.

Will let yous know of the out come.

Your advice, knowledge, solutions would be PROFOUNDLY appreciated.

Thanks,

Shaun

It is a 1994 ECR33 GTS-T.

No major mods, just HKS pod filter, and HKS exhaust from the cat to the tip.

Manual boost controller.

Thats about it. What else do you need to know???

CAS is that big silver thing on the front of your timing cover.

Thanks guy for your help.

We think we have it figured. A few months ago I cut off the speaker for my car alarm and I noticed that when I was trying to start the car, the alarm light was flashing rapidly.

The car is at the auto electricians today getting the alarm removed. I think that is the issue.

Wil let you know how things go.

Thanks again.

Well the problem has been found.... Not only was the problem the car alarm (now removed), but the fuel pump in the tank is buggered.

Anyone know where I can buy one from?? As the auto sparky has called around and says that no one lists one. And how much am I expected to pay??

I found one on ebay and it is in "perfect working order". Should I bid more than $80 for it???

Thanks.

I wouldn't trust an ebay item. Check the forum sponsors for a new bosch 040 (i'm guessing about $160), its a direct replacement with very little modification or the walbro (genuine not a chinese copy) one. Or there's the Nismo option which is a direct dropin, but theyre about $400-$500 last i checked

I have checked websites and have not found listings for new fuel pumps, surely someone in Australia sells a fuel pump for a skyline. Can you point me in the right direction to where I can buy a new pump, genuine, non genuine, nismo or otherwise.

Even if I have to pay $400 to $500 for it. I'll pay it....... This car is useless to me without it.

Thanks
