As above. Its hard to explain what its really doing, i can really on tell my story and what ive tryed and soforth, so see how it goes..

ITs started with comming home after a long day at work..... Spent half a hour got changed and went out. Now i drove the skyline home. and it was running sweet as. Now after hoping back in. No go. it seemed it didnt want to even bite on cranking. It was getting spark and getting fuel. (by the looks of it). After 30mins of waiting. she seem'd to of went. GREAT!

40 mintues later of driving. She started to break down. Missing. Coughing. It started with a bit of a miss/stumble on boost. (6psi atm) backing off the throttle and back on cured it. Then it became progressivly worse. Light throttle Intoduced large amounts of missing. And over the cause of 3km it wouldnt of even idle.

TRying to get up a hill was entertaining.

SO i was sitting on the side of the road in pitch back looking around my engine bay with my little pen with a light on the back of it. And noticed my water temp sensor plug had one of the terminals off, inside the plug hosing. Here's me thinking "Yippie" She will go now. Which i was right. Sort of. Still missed only running on 5 cylinders. This got me able to drop this off at a Friends aunty's place so i can come back for it. and so she was safe.

Next day........... **ding**

Had a look. By the looks on every plug. Overfuling. they were all foued and coated in fuel. Cleening them made no improvement in running. as well not it wont even idle.

Ive replaced. "Water temp sensor", AFM, FPR, dizzy cap. Check fuel pump. and line blockages. Spark is strong and timing is fine. The top of number 5 injector is now leaking, yet again i had only just replaced it.

Its now the point of. no matter what i do the plugs foul. Cleen them, bang foul.

Any idea's ?

Its now at the point of. I replaced the FPR 2 nights ago. And the fuel lines seemed to of primed alot better than the other Fpr did. But now my Fuel pump is pulsating. Its getting a perminant 12v sorce from the battery and is Switched throuh a Relay thats trigured off the car alarm.

Sound like what my FJ was doing when I( first got it. Turns out (after much swearing and setting up a compressor to push 10psi into the cooler pipes) that a hose (might have been positive pressure, I guess it couldnt have been vacuum because the engine wasnt running when I found it) under the inlet manifold had come off. It was just in the right spot that you couldnt see it from underneath or above the car and you couldnt really hear where the noise was coming from, but once I put it back on it was fine

It would definitely have been overfuelling with the broken water temp wire - the ECU would think the engine was cold and it delivers much more fuel to a cold engine.

I suspect the excess fuel has destroyed the plugs. I think new plugs should solve all your problems (but I've been known to be wrong before!).

Well, you guys were thinking along the same lines as me, And i replaced all my leads and plugs, with standard bp5es. Its been running better than before i can now rev to 7k, "not much tho" when i used to run out of spark at 5k. This is only on 6psi 3rd gear has a hell of alot of pull.

Heres a good one, Why does 1st and 2nd have no pull, evenknowing its at 6psi, but 3rd gear just honks compared to 1st and 2nd

not that im aware of....my NA C210 was doing exactly that, (l24e) and it turned out to be the afm connection....maybe you have a dodge wire in the loom? check that out...there may be no prob with the hardware at all.

ah, if your relating to my Ovefuling problem, luckly thats sorted. I noted when it was doing it, AFM. and repalced that. which was still doing the same thing. But lucky it took me a while but found out all the leads had broken down. wouclnt show any problems without a load on them

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.

      The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
