Only Firing On 2 Cylinders

HI,

So we've just finished building up a RB30, now at the monent its been reverted to the standard RB25DE fueling system (injectors ecu and afm) off a working engine.

It has brand new spark plugs, correct cam timing, correct cas timing, fuel is getting to all cylinders and 110+ PSI of pressure (old school compression tester with rubber bung). we have tested the coil packs and yet it will only run on cylinders 1 & 3.

I have changed the CAS, and checked the wiring for the coil packs. everything apprears to be fine.

I have spoken to numous people including mechanics regarding the problem, we are out of ideas.

Has anyone had this issue or similar in the past, and what did it turn out to be / what should be my next move.

Thanks in advance, Matt

Bolt in the centre of the ECU not pulled completely in? Also push the ends of the blue connector.

Only reason I say this is i've seen similar before.

^^ Iv had exactly this before, was more like 4 cylinders but hardly went let alone move the car..

Make sure you push the connector together not just relying on the bolt to pull it.

Cheers, lll make sure I check the connections when it stops raining. The ecu repOrts code 21 primary ignition signal fault. Anyone know what this means? I'm on a phone ATM which makes searching difficault

    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
    • I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.
    • Finally had some time after working on other projects to jump back on this thing. Pulled all 4 wheels to check the brakes over and lucked out, only needed to bleed them/change fluid to get everything working!    Took it for its first quick spin (around 2km) up the road and ran great! Sounds like I have a left rear wheel bearing that needs replacing and there’s a shake in the steering wheel but the tires are absolutely junk on this thing and had been sitting flat when I went to first look at the car so we’ll see if that’s the cause.   Tach randomly started working but I notice if my hicas light comes on the tach stops working 🙃 yay for electrical gremlins 
    • Bunnings car park it is! if you buy the kind of dampers with the adjustable top on the strut you can see it, red, purple? So many options.
