R32 Gt-R Not Starting

[Truffles]

Hi SAU

I've had a recent issue with my R32 GT-R in regards to the vehicle not starting.

The situation is that I parked the car in the shed and threw a cover over it. Upon returning two days later to take the car out for a drive, it simply wouldn't start.

The starter motor does turn over, the fuel pump primes when the key is rotated to the ignition barrel and there are no fault codes being identified by the ECU. It just won't turn over and start. I have dropped the fuel, threw the battery on a trickle charge and tried a few days later but to no avail.

Any insightful information to direct me to the cause of the problem would be much appreciated.

fouled spark plugs ?

does it try to fire or just nothing at all?

I'd try another battery. Trickle charging a faulty battery is a waste of time.

+1 and batteries can do funny thnings when old or dying, could be enough charge to crank but not enough for fueling and/or ignitionn etc..

Check you earth lead, make sure its grounded properly to the engine/chassis..

I once spent a week chasing what i thought was a dead starter, it turned out being that i needed to remove the ground leads everywhere and sand all the points.

Boy did i feel like a useless carnt after working that one out.....

I've tried 3 batteries, all to the same result. Although, the newest one did sound like it was the closest.

PaulosECR33; It doesn't try to fire at all, starter motor just keeps turning over to nothing.

I'm going to change the plugs and fuel filter at some point and have another crack.

I'll also have a look at the earth leads and make sure they're all in order.

Will report back with any new developments but don't hesitate to keep bouncing ideas off me.

Take off the cas and turn it by hand with ignition on. should be able to hear the injectors firing, and pull a coilpack off abd check for spark at the same time . They should give you more info as to what the prob us.

also try another cas if you can, my cas signal was stuffed and took ages to diagnose

it is worth trying this old chestnut right now because it can be the issue (I know from experience - today!)

Ignitor - swap with a friend who has one. 5 minutes will rule it in or out and is the easiest thing to do

need a 4mm allen key and 5 minutes
