Hey all,

As some may have read from my other threads been having some issues with me car.

I think i have narrowed the issue to some kind of a resistor or something from the injector wiring?

Pics are attached below.

Anyone able to tell me what it is? What it does?

And most important how do i go abouts fixing it?

Will i require brand new wiring for whole of injector plugs or can i get it soldier back on? etc...

Can a mechanic shop fix it or electrical shop?

I believe my injector is not working atm because of this!?

Any information will help! Thanks.

I am guessing its and RB20 motor with low impedance injectors? The part in question is a 10W resistor and there will no doubt be one for each injector. I am guessing someone felt it was easier (and definitely cheaper) to simply buy some resistors from Dick Smith than a dropping resistor pack from a GTR.

Yes, you can buy a replacement from Dick Smiths or Jaycar and wire it in although personally I believe the dropping resistor pack from a GTR is a much neater alternative.

refer to my tut about gtr injector wiring.

Instead of a resistor ballast, the previous person may have wired individual resistors (if thats what the picture is showing)

yes.. each injector has the white rectangular resistor as in the picture.

because the one pictured is broken.. would that be the cause of my #6 cyclinder not working as the injector wouldn't be squirting?

so what's the best and easiest solution?

Rekin: i had a look at your post.. pardon me being a dumbass.. LOL.. i don't quiet get what needs to be done there! "-_-

thanks guys!

Easiest solution would be to pop down to your local dick smith/jaycar etc and pick up an identical resistor and solder it into place.

Personally i'd track down a gtr resistor pack (can be bought new from Just Jap i think) and replace all the individual resistors with it. It would be a neater and probably more reliable option. Those individual resistors would surely be getting quite warm?

i got the car they way it is now so... i would agree that they would be getting hot but the car has been fine for the time i've had it.. even taken it up to bulla with no probs.

recently i pulled the AAC and Air Reg off to clean and i musta bumped the resistor by accident and musta snapped off.

SILLY QUESTION but how easy/how do you get the wires/plugs out so i can put a new resistor on? can't reach it as it's the last cylinder and down between the plenum or what every you call it and engine.

Provided you buy the correct resistor with appropriate wattage (10W shown in the photo) you should have now problems. I am guessing the resistor is a 12ohm, 10W resistor. Best to check the resistance on one of the other resistors or simply take it to Dick Smith and ask them to give you the same item.

If it is the standard plug you will need to get a screw driver on the metal spring retaining clip and gently lever it up to release the plug.

      Unless things that you want to do include reference to time. Simple Boolean logic is only good for digital inputs or analogues that have been thresholded into digitals. But unless you also have a timer function available (which would more ideally be located inside the program, rather than being forced to implement a timer outside the ECU and bring it in as a seperate digital for every time delay you want to implement), then you can't do some of the things that you might want to do. My PLC ladder logics are obviously littered with program blocks, because that's easier than building it all in ladder gates, but the most frequent of those program blocks is a simple timer, because you actually can't otherwise do that in ladder at all.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Log voltage. I'm suspecting the alternator. Or even maybe a bad earth somewhere. ie, seeing as it is rev dependent, I am thinking it is alternator dependent.

      Yeah so N1 and any other larger than factory pump are pretty famous for pumping the sump dry...obviously we don't often get to spend 20 or 30 seconds at high rpm/full noise on the road so I'd still be suspicious that is what is happening here.

      You are also getting pressure dips on gear shifts. They're just not dipping as far, but they're dipping quite below the amount of oil pressure you should be seeing, for how much RPM drops.   It quite little could be the oil pressure relief valve is starting to stick open a little/is slow to close.

      Can you log battery voltage, and TPS, and put all four of those into a single image (even as split graphs)?   The oil pressure drops aren't following RPM as such. I'm intrigued if you may have a ground loop between different sensors. With the engine not running, log your sensors and for example cycle the throttle pedal. See if any sensor values flutter or move about. This won't be a perfect test either as the ECU won't be cycling all of its actuators like it would be while running. What EMTRON do you have? Do you have a link to the wiring guide for that ECU?
