Haven't had alot of time lately and the car hasn't been started in about 3 months, it's just been sitting in the garage with the terminals off the battery. It's always started first bang but went to start it the other day and it cranks and fires like it normally would but when you let go of the key it doesn't continue to run, if you continue to hold the starter on it continues to fire-crank-fire-crank etc. but doesn't run once you let go of the key.

The pumps are running, I've put fresh fuel in, I've swapped the CAS over to another one I have and still did the same. Everything switch/readout wise seems to be ok on the powerfc, I presume I have spark/fuel otherwise I wouldn't be getting the fire??

Any ideas?

Just got enthusiastic and went and had another play, took the coilpack plugs off, cranked it for about 5 seconds and pulled a plug out and it was bone dry and the top of the piston looked dry as well. There's fuel pressure at the rail, what sort of voltage should I be seeing at the injector when cranking? and what would cause them to stop working?

have you had a look at your fuel filter? its a long shot but it may be blocked. also did you have your foot on the accelerator when cranking to give it a little more juice on crank? how do the spark plug tips look?

Fuel filter is ok as there is fuel coming out of the return. Had another play today and there's no voltage at the injector plugs when cranking :( didn't get a chance to go further but will check the voltage at the ecu, the service manual says check at the ecu against 'ground' and then check again against 'common ground' taking a guess it might be a grounding problem with the injectors.....joy....

Yeh, checked that and checked the continuity of the wires and ground and all seemed to be fine. Pulled all the plugs off the injectors and put 12v straight to them from the battery to make sure they were all clicking. Put the plugs back on and cranked it again for the hell of it and it started first bang....explain that shit.....

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
