G'day legends, 

The misses has an R31 GXE Auto which I recently did injector rebuild on. 

I removed the old injectors, had them flow tested and a new seal kit done as there was previously a leak. 
Prior to removal, the main issue was the above mentioned fuel leak, but since completing the reinstallation of the injectors, there has been a really intense misfire. 

-The injectors flow tested perfectly
-A lot of care was taken when installing them, so I don't believe they are will be the issue as of yet. 

So far, I have replaced;
-Dizzy cap and rotor (they were both absolutely cooked)
-CAS (some sort of water entry got in there and made a mess)
-Plugs (Were disgusting)

>The AFM is second hand, and was replaced when the original one died. 
>The Injector plugs are pretty cooked, so that will be my next replacement as it is required anyway. 
>I will need to test the ignition leads, however they were only done about 2 years ago
>Not sure how to check the ignition coil, but seems unlikely it would die straight after the above work was done. (not sure when it was replaced last either)

Sometimes I wonder if I have swapped some electrical connectors around by mistake, but I am confident that they are all in their correct locations. 
I did pressure wash the whole engine bay after the replacement, is it possible I soaked the ECU? (Unsure of ECU location).

Any help would be absolutely amazing, this is doing my head in. 

Cheers!

ECU is in passenger side footwell.

Take the dizzy apart, make sure the CAS disc inside is clean.

I had misfire issues because the CAS was rusty and spilling dirt on the disc (sensor wasn't reading properly hence misfire).

Also does it idle fine? Try unplugging AFM, it should idle and rev to 2,000 rpm fine.

Loads of info on R31 Skyline club wiki

This probably won't have done you any favours. A wet connector block somewhere could be upsetting things. Try some WD40in all the connectors.

Go back to basics man. Compression test. A constant reading is good, a 30 psi or more difference between adjacent cylinders is bad. Disconnect one injector at a time and reconnect until you find the bad cylinder. A good cylinder will run rougher with the injector disconnected. The bad cylinder will do nothing with injector disconnected. Then check for spark. Use a gap tester or remove a spark plug on each cylinder. Don’t forget to remove the fuel pump fuse if you pull the plugs to test. 
 

if all that checks out ok, check for vacuum leaks and injector wiring. 
 

if you’ve pressure washed it you will probably have water somewhere simple, usually in the dizzy cap or spark plug tubes 🙂

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
