Starting Probs

[cul8er]

Hey guys

I have taken my coil cover off my rb26 and now I have a starting prob the engine cranks but does not start would it be a possibility that the earth wire off the coil pack module is not earthed out thats why it won't start

Try earthing it or put it all back the way it was and see what happens.

Worth a try.

Make sure both ends of the coilopack ignitor are firmly in place, and make sure it's earth wire has a clean earth.

If the igniter is not bolted down to the engine then you do need the earth wire. If it is bolted down, the earth wire is unnecessary, as the heatsink/body is also earth.

When I took my coil cover off, I made a right angle bracket out of a piece of 1" angle iron to stand the ignitor straight up to improve cooling and provide a solid mount.

[cul8er]

The igniter module is just sitting on top of the coil packs at the back

[GTSBoy]

So earth it.

And bolt it down ferchrissake.

Ok tried earthing everything with no luck it try's to start but doesn't kick over fuel is low but light not on so can't really be low on fuel

[cul8er]

bump

if you suspect low fuel maybe try put a bit extra in? or try some engine start might help tell if fuel related, was it going then stopped or had work then didn't go?

i drove the car on wednesday let it warm up gave it a quik wrap around the block to show a mate the back home now wont start i think either the plugs might be fould up or somthing with the igniter module

im going to change the plugs and earth the igniter module and recheck all the coils

[cul8er]

hey guys i tried grounding the earth wire of the igniter module to the cam cover and still no luck this is getting on my nerves now one minute the car works the next it wont crank over

[Hadouken]

Put your coil pack cover back on and see if it will start. If it does then you havent found a good enough earth for your ignitor

[cul8er]

its still getting painted atm with the earth wire from the igniter module does it have to be earthed with the module or just the wire on its own

because i drove the car without the earth connected and i havent touched anything and know it just wont start

[WMDC35]

the igniter needs to be earthed

[cul8er]

so i have to earth the module box aswell as the wire is that correct

[Hadouken]

You need to take that wire and screw it into your ignitor! That is how you earth it! You dont take the wire and go and ground it somewhere else.

[cul8er]

So I'll put a bolt through the wire and igniter module and ground the whole thing together

Also could someone pls upload a pic of this it might help abit
