VL commodore was running, started to blow black smoke on idle and eventually died. Wouldn't restart 

 

Engine had 

New spark plugs, New leads new cas, new oil & so on! 

 

So I've checked spark on all 6 have spark, fuel at rail & checked injectors they are all spraying mist so working as far as that goes.

Re timed it to tdc on harmonic, and mark on cam, and #1 on dizzi. 

Multiple times. Slightly before 1 exactly on 1, even spun the dizzi as tried

Rotor is turning when motor winds

Can hear fuelpump prime. 

Checked tracks and caticupators in ecu all checked fine and was running prior anywhoo

 

Replaced fuel reg off my other going motor, tried coil, tried cap, rotor, 

Tried other plugs and it goes to fire but doesn't, tried re timing. Checked to ensure its on #1 on each cycle of winding it by hand.

Tried unplugging MAF,TPS, 

 

Got codes on computer for coolant sensor, no aircon,

  • Nickkk changed the title to RB30 VL PROBLEMS

Has spark on all 6, but did originally stall on black smoke  while idling all of a sudden. Wouldn't rev, 

Fuel to rail,

Injectors spraying mist while winding

 

Brand new cas, plug, & tried 2 coils, was brand new plugs b4 it died, not even 50kms on them. 

Tried fuel reg off going motor,

Tried AFM disconnected, connected 

Sorter wants to fire but doesn't. 

Checked main earth, plugs near battery, fuses, relays switching around. 

Brand new external fuelpump

Fuel filter

Hear the fuelpump on the outside tank working. Inside I can't over the other one!  

 

Only things.i haven't checked are

Tank fuel pump,   

 

Get 3 codes in diagnosis mode 

14 for coolant sensor, one for starter circuit which obviously I didn't have car running so it would clear the starter circuit code if I tried wounding it

I've replaced coolant temp sensor, so that's cleared, done internal fuelpump  It now starts but only with afm unplugged. It'll idle and rev upto 2000 but plugged in it won't start. Plug it in while running and nothing changes so my guess is  that's not working, but closer! Idles and sounds good. No vacuum leaks from what I can hear, went over everything anyway

 

Brand new afm coming so I'll update on how that goes! But rather simple once you start ticking things off

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
