Guys I wired in a new fuel pump into my 34 GTR and found it didnt work(and yes I got the wires correct and yes the pump works when tested elsewhere).

After that I resoldered the original fuel pump back in to check if it was a resistance thing etc, but that didnt work either, there is no voltage from the wires at the fuel pump

.

So for the moment I have just added a new relay in and got the power from the ignition circuit to switch the relay on and have the fuel pump direct battery voltage feed.

But I would really like to get the orignal circuit working. The fuel pump fuse is fine. I have checked all the fuses in the boot, near the drivers kick panel and under the near the jump start point in the engine bay. Are there any other fuses or can someone tell me where the fuel pump relay is actually located.

My understanding so far is that the ECU fuel pump relay signal puts out .6v (checked against another ecu in my car), from there I think it goes to an earth controller of some sort and then switches the relay on.

Im just shy of tracing wires, but if anyone can give me a heads up on how the circuit works i would be rather greatful.

well.... the fuel pump relay control on the ecu is actually contolled by the inputs the computer receives.

There is a fuel pump drive controller that turns the relay on and off.

Whan i turn the key on i get .6v for 3 secs so this indicates that the the signal is working fine (manual says approx .8v). Seems i may be having trouble with this drive pump controller.

Anyone know where this drive pump controller or the fuel pump relay is located.....im getting closer to this problem

Ok so quick update.... I took the battery terminals literally off then back on....and BAM 12v out the original fuel pump wires....so now have the 14v direct feed relay with the original fuel pump wiring being the swith for my relay....

random electronics lol

bringing up an old thread, went to start the car this morning and it cranked fine but wouldnt kick in...

after abit of investifating we believe its probably the fuel pump as i was not getting any sound prior to cranking (power not getting to the pump??)

checked kick panel, front and rear fuse boxes, all looked good. tried unconnecting the battery and restarting with no luck..

i have a haltech platnium pro plug in that and i will take the laptop down tomorrow and try and see if anything pops up on the logging, and maybe rebooting the ecu (not sure if disconnecting the battery would do this anyways?)...

anyone have any ideas or tips, advice to solve the issues that seem very similar to the above.

any help will be greatly apppreciated.

Cheers,

Anthony

Relays are under the rear rt tail light. Make sure you are getting a pulse on that relay and there is 12v on it.

thanks for the tip mate, was wondering where they are.

im pretty hopeless when it comes to fixing things but will give that a shot tomorrow.

just under the internal boot side wall carpet? or further?

Hey mate,

Anything else i should check after doing the above test? what should i check if it is? or if its not etc?

thanks

u need to test the power at the fuel pump not the relay. and remember u need to test it while either cranking or wiyhing the first 3seconds or so while its supposed ti be priming once key on

Thanks mate, i will look into doing this on the weekend and go from there.

Cheers,

had another look at my issue this morning, and it appears that im not getting power to the relay or the fuel pump.

has anyone had these issues before? from research and looking at wiring diagrams etc it appears the fuel pump control module could be broken. may have to look at hard wiring the pump direct to the battery to fix this? does anyone know an easy way to test if that is 100% the problem, or would be the fact that the pump isnt getting power proof?

here is the wiring diagram i found for reference.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
