i have a rb20det it doenst have injector pulse on cyclinders 1,3,5. i have changed the ecu over with another ecu that works made no differance at all i have allso test all the injector wires back to the ecu pins and they are fine. what can it be?????? i did notice that the injectors have power running to them all the time even when the cars switched off is that ment to happen?

The injectors should only have power while the ignition is on.

If they have power all the time then either the injectors have burnt out internally or there is a problem with your main loom powers/earths.

Check the main power wires, they run around the base of the strut tower on the turbo side and up to a large rectangle plug beside the power steering res. Make sure nothing is melted/grounded/joined to another wire.

If you have a 12v power connected to the trigger wire, you'll still get continuity back to the ECU but you'll get constant power at that wire which means the injector will not pulse

try tap the injectors with a screwdriver or something mine did this all fixed now .......has the car been sitting for a while?also as mentioned previously make sure you loom is in good working order i had abodgey loom keept pumping fuel hydrulic my motor !!!

yeah ive checked them seems to be fine but must be brocken some where. so what ur saying is if there gettin power all the time it wont be able to pulse there for the injectors wont work. all so its geting power to ALL injectors all the time but only cylinders 1,3,5 dont have a pulse?

allso car starts but only runs on 3cyclinders if that helps

the only way to stop the power goin to the injectors when the car is switched off is when u take the 25amp engine controll fuse out thats in the bonnit or take the ecu out

Well have you checked if you have 12v with ignition on to one side of each injector? If not then you have a break in the harness on the power side of the injector harness. If you do then you need to trace each pin on the other side of each injector back to the ecu. And if you do and that all checks out then it just leaves a dead injector driver on the ecu board then.

    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
    • That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
