Car Scan Tool Not Communicating

I have tried my scantool before and worked like a charm.

Today i got in the car and the air con was set on 3 and i could not stop it. I tried turning the car off and then on and the same thing. I turned the car off again then I was able to switch the air con off but the check engine light remained on while driving.

Got home and turned the car off and on again and the light stayed on. I went and got my scan tool to see what the issue was but the scan tool now is not communicating with my car at all. Not sure if the wires on the harness is not working although the last time i checked the car with the tool it worked fine.

Any ideas if there is a fuse that may be impeding the communication because it's burnt?

Thanks

Cristian

Chris,

Checked the fuse box in the drivers side and they are all intact.. any other ideas?

Further info... after my last post when i got on the car the next day, the check engine light did not stayed on and was fine until today. this arvo it lit up and has stayed on. tried the scan tool again and once again not connection. Checked the fuses on the drivers and all ok.

Last sunday my left headlight blew (hid standard) and the rear lights didnt work unless the brake was presssed. checked the fuse box at the rear of the battery and a 15amp fuse was blown, i replaced that and everything was ok until the check engine light came up on wednesday.

At a loss as to why there is no comm between the car and the scan tool...

and one more thing my radio has been cutting out at times, got the mp3 player connected but once in a while the AUX bit does not light up for a few seconds then comes back on...i think i have gremlins in my car...

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Nice modern Hypergear high flow would be perfect.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.

      300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile

      A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
