Sunshine Coast R34 Na Auto Owners Needed.

[RB25DETC33]

Hey all as the topic states, I need to request the services of someone on the sunny coast driving an R34 non turbo auto. My missos skyline seems to be runing like sh!t and Im putting it down to no VCT, Ive rewired the vct off the ecu to see if the torque comes back up but nothing.

Would anybody be willing to meet up over a 6 pack of beers or something (if under 18 haha) and let me change over ECU to make sure the one in our car is not rooted?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cars symptoms include: no vct, no torque, no power, bad feul economy, hard to start when warm. Runs and idles with no problems ignition wise.

Do the paperclip diagnostic and you'll have an answer. Reset the ECU for a drive just to rule out any errors from disconnecting stuff.

VCT and ECU are not your problem. You're going about your diagnostic the wrong way

Ok? How do i go about it? Any help would be appreciated.

Oh yeah, someone didn't plug the vacuum line that runs to the butterfly valve between the dual intake by any chance? No recent pod filter shenanigans resulting in a random line being blocked off (that shouldn't be)

Nah mate, have just about checked everything on this engine. Checked plugs, afm, aac, vacuum lines everywhere, tps, cas. Its none of those things. Done the paper clip trick but no sensors are reporting errors (code 55). The vct solenoid has a leak coming out of the plug end not at te threads. Ran a 12v feed to the solenoid to test ot was working and it was. Hooked up a test light to the battery 12v and to the vct ground wire off the ecu. No light even when driving. So this lead me to think that there is something wrong with the ecu unless there is something else i am missing.

I had the problem for awhile and have researched as much info as i could find engine wise so not im starting to wonder if it is ecu.

Blocked CAT?

Don't want to sound like a broken record, but check this highlighted item 10000% it will give the symptoms you're experiencing and won't throw a code up if there is a problem, it normally opens up at about 4200rpm, if it doesn't the car will feel like it has no VCT, it will also run like a pig if it's drawing air after the AFM, which would happen if the line had come off/cracked etc etc so check the full length visually and feel for damage from actuator to intake.
