I recently swapped my er34 back from a haltech elite with adaptor harness to the factory computer. Swapped all the sensors back to factory etc etc. Car idles no worries on the haltech, but will not even give a puff on the stock ecu.

Has spark, has fuel.. 

Any tips or ideas that come to mind would be greatly appreciated on what this issue may be. 

Thanks

What injectors are you running mate?

When you say ""not a puff" do you mean it cranks but doesn't try to fire?

I'd be checking the ECU has power, since it is back to stock can you plug a consult in to check? Or even just listen for the ECCS relay clicking in the passenger footwell as a start.

Correct it has the fuel pump prime and displays all lights on dash then cranks over no worries but doesn't fire.

I sadly have no consult system available. It makes all the normal clicks with the key turned to ignition as it used too strangely enough. 

I believe the computer may somehow be dead. It's been sitting on the passenger floor untouched for about 5 months as the car sat with the haltech plugged in. (Car isn't on the road)

    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha 
    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
