On the recent long weekend me and my mrs went to canberra to get away, anyway as i enteredt canberra on the friday nite my 32 started to misfire and was acting up something servere.

Anyways the next morning i went out of the motel started it up and it was fine... We went out and as i started it a couple hours later it started to play up again on the way up to telstra tower.

Anyways after towing it to a mechanic he said it seemed to be something to do with the ecu because he cleared a ignition error on the ecu. Which turned out to be bullshit because it started doing it again afrter towing it back up to sydney.

So far i have been trying everything i can think of, i have changed spark plugs, coilpacks, ignitor, and even got my hands on a stock unchipped ecu to see if it would cler the problem but seems not to be.

What its doing is popping and carrying on between 2500rpm and it wont rev over 5500rpm. It pops sounds like its on limiter and it backfires.

Another member of the forum seems to think its the cam angle sensor? Could this very well be the problem? Also when it tries starting it will want to kick over but then starts mucking up like cutting in and out but its hard to explain exactly over the net...

Let me know guys i need it running asap.

Scotti.

it sounds like you have changed everything.. its a long shot but could your timing belt have jumped a tooth, i dont see how the CAS would cause suck missfiring etc.. would just advance or retard the timing if it has slipped. it might be shot though..

also put a cupful of metho in the tank to get rid of water in the fuel. that could be your problem?

loom might be stuffed?

apart from that im stumped as you seem to have checked all the obvious ones

if you do figure it out let us all know what it ended up being.

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
