slinky-minky Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi guys! I have a problem with my r34 gt-v (non turbo 2000 model)where the orange engine light comes on and stays on after 4 mins of driving(now it comes on after a minute) a mechanic got the fault code which is 21- “ignition signal primary” after taking $44 from me he told me it was a coil pack and the next day took em apart and tested them and said they were fine and charged me another $120!!! (labour) done some of my own research and some ideas of what it could be is: COIL PACK, IGNITER UNIT/switch..... although i think the igniter units are on the coil packs in the r34’s. so..... what would u guys do from here? How much for new coilpacks? Spitfires? Pay another mechanic to test more competently? If so who? Keep driving it until the problem is easier to find? Will this do “Warning damage to the manifold!” lol i mean engine. Thanx in advanceJ!

ssxRicho Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Checked the oil level? Igniter is in the coil packs. Do you know anyone with a 34? Pull their packs out and put em in your car to test. It is not a hard job, very easy and there is no real danger of damaging anything (hitting the packs with a hammer or something...)

nuR.spec Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 leave the centre coil pack cover off as well. all that does it trap the heat within the heat causing coil pack failure! seen it so many times with customer cars Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365341-slinky-needs-help-with-engine-light/#findComment-5830958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
