Ok driving around last night and car started running rough and then 1 loud backfire n that was it turned off and didnt start again.

It kicks over and over and over but nothing.

Things Iv tried...

Tried to restart...Nothing but seems to struggle...Starting starting then a miss starting starting miss

Unplug CAS starting smooth all the way through till I stop starting.

Plug CAS up Unplug coilpack loom (back of engine) same as the first one starting starting then a miss starting starting miss

Plug and unplug CAS and can hear the fuel/ticking of injectors.

I havnt looked for spark yet

ALl fuses are fine nothing blown

ECU faults came back 12 and 21 which is (12 AFM) and (21 Ignition Signal)

So my question is...Do you think my CAS is rooted?

I dont know many people here in town with Skylarks n shit so I got buckleys chances to try another b4 I buy.

CAS has been put back together without the cam gear timing cover on there and I once read somewhere that you should

space the CAS out to compensate for the cover NOT being there (I didnt do)

CAS doesnt have any slop in it, the shaft spins but not freely on its own but if you hold the shaft and spin the larger

part it spins fine.

If its CAS ill be sure to add in washers to conpensate for the loss of the cover not being there next time round.

Any input will be great thanks lads, like I said Im sure its CAS related. I dunno why the ECU is throwing in the AFM aswell

but if I find a cheap S2 AFM ill prolly grab it at the same time for peace of mind.

my mates CAS solved the problem.

Clearly if you plan on taking the cam cover off and leaving them off space them out with a small washer

to compensate for the lack of the cam cover.

Next thing to tackle...100k service.

Cheers for the help

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
