im not getting spark on cylinders 1,3 and 5

is it possible that this could be a problem with my powerfc itself?

does the PFC have some kind of diagnostic to check this?

No it doesnt have a diagnostic for that.

Your best bet would be to eliminate the basics first. Dont do too much diagnosis at once though. Take small steps.

1. check your plugs, see if the dead cylinders have wet (fuel) plugs. Consider swapping plugs between working and non-working cylinders to eliminate faulty parts.

2. swap coil packs around, for the same reason as above.

3. Try another ecu, or a standard one if you can get your hands on one.

3. consider pairing up cylinders for waste spark operation. This is done at the ignitor. 1+6, 5+2,3+4. As dodgy as it might sound you can try using a single paper clip to bridge the ignitor inputs. You will need a circuit diagram for your model engine. If it doesnt start to fire the dead cylinder using this method it could still not be getting fuel.

Good luck!

yea, after allot of trouble shooting today it looks like some cylinders might not be getting fuel

so i'll be checking that tommorow

I would assume that would be an ecu or injector wiring harness problem as the injectors are batch fire (3 at a time) would pay to check which injectors are wired together before you go pulling thinghs apart though is it may be different ones to the cylinders not getting fuel.

just checked the manual and i cant figure out what ones fire together, on page 351 it has a heap of technical things to check to find the problem, if you dont have it already do a google search, its around 460 pages and well worth downloading.

anyone know which 02 sensor is "02-2"on the sensor check screen mine is faulty and i got a rear 02 sensor so im hoping its the rear one can amyone comfirm? i tried unpluging it and looking bck at the power fc and it was stil giving a reading on both

yep the vhost that holds the PFC FAQ is broken

im trying to fix it (its not my server)

if i cant fix it i will get it moved to somewhere else so wont be down for too long

i still have the data so its not lost

it may take a few hours to propogate via DNS so if it doesnt load, try in a few hours

please be patient, it is still uploading so the images/links probably wont work for a few hours

Updated PFC FAQ

-updated Apexi PowerFC Wikipedia articile and PDF Snapshot

-updated Apexi PowerFC EL Hand controller and incuded video (thanks John)

You suck, you got me all excited thinking that the EL hand controller was all new and did something good, but it dosnt :P

yeah it looks the same as the normal FCC3 hand controller, just EL instead of backlit LCD

im yet to see one working in the flesh, the one on the demo video is just a screen loop and not a real unit in operation

    • 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
