Car not starting now? RB20DET.

[Cefiro_PWA]

Well well well its time for some headaches.

The car was running but when i started it sounded like a V8 car like it was misfiring. Suddenly it stopped 1 hour later and was souding like an RB after 1 hour of driving.

Then a few days later after driving it it was having problems starting it.. slowly slowly getting worse on starting it so i had to get it push started to get it running.

I was running low on fuel b4 it started playing up? Not sure if this will effect it.

I instantly thought my plugs where dead since they looks nasty and where very old. I replaced the plugs just then with BCP6E plugs NGK (x6) and the car still wont start.

The coil pack plugs are all cracked and half missing plastic on them. Why isnt the car starting? I havnt tried to push start it yet as i dont see it making a differnce? Is it the plugs really? but its still not starting? If anyone knows what happend to this beutiful 5spd RB20DET Cefiro please let me know.

posibly a CAs - crank angle sensor.

thats sounds similar to problems i had on my old RB20

[Cefiro_PWA]

How can the crank angle sensor be fixed? What is a crank angle sensor? WHere is it located? Do i have to buy a new one or "retune it" Who can do this work?

Thanks Nismoid

its too csotly too fix, you can buy another.

Its on the front of your CAM belt cover... the round silver thing.

thats not 100% what it is though, just a likely choice.

a workshop you need to go to i think

What are they worth to buy from wreckers ( used ).

Do R33 ,R34 ones fit? GTR also?

Thanks

[R31Nismoid]

no. they are motor specefic.

even worse if you have a red-top. There are two types for them.

about $300-$350, but again, that might not be what it is, take it too a decent workshop

[Cefiro_PWA]

It is a silver engine, I will call up Race Pace.

Thanks

Anyone have ideas? Workshops wont pickup there phones

Found out the problem, the fuel pump was dead. I replaced it with a standard one!
