blind_elk Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 You've got compression? You haven't been playing with camshafts, and moved them? You can hear the injectors working? You've got the fuel lines on the right way round?? ALL the induction hoses are on?

VLRB20DET Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 i changed the timing belt over and it went back on fine, everything is ok. im gettin a mate to do a compression test tommorow to narrow dow the possibilites, but i noticed on the ecu the light was flashing and when i went to crank it over the light goes out, im thinking the ecu is not getting power when im cranking the engine. Yeah Nugget i pissed myself laughn when i first saw a mate with that can of that crap..

neil_se Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I am having exactly the same problem at the moment. My rb20det 180sx is cranking fine but won't fire. I'm thinking it could possibly be the ignitor pack or an ecu connection.

MegaGTS4 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 As Blind_elk stated have you got the fuel lines on the right way? CAS might be miss aligned or stuffed. It's sounds like fuel or timing to me. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34892-start-you-bstard/#findComment-730858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind_elk Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Is the fuel pump working while the engine is cranking - disconnect the fuel "in" line from the fuel rail and crank the engine (make sure you've got something to catch the fuel in). Alternatively, set the ignition to "on" and then apply battery voltage to the starter solenoid terminal - that should simply crank the engine, and if everything else is OK, the engine should fire.
