hi guys

my gtst is flooding so bad that it won't start. been reading the workshop manual and searching this site but can't figure it out.

What happend:I was warming it up one day and it stalled, tryed restarting it but it would just cough. Turns out it was getting way to much Fuel (not sure why), managed to push start it and blow out all da extra fuel and was all good for 10 days or so.

Then on tuesday about 3 hours after i drove it i went to start it and it flooded again. Everything is the same as when it was going that i no of.

The ecu is showing 12(air flow meter) i have tested it on another car and is fine, have also tested the wiring for the afm.

Have tested water temp sensor,fuel press and both are good.

Its cranking but wont fire, its getting so much fuel that its now pushed fuel passed the rings and is now in the sump.

the injectors sound like they are opening and closing(ckick click...).

Am lost, sez afm but it seams fine and its getting WAY to much fuel.....???

please help/ideas its driving me CRAZY!!!! :):):):)

thanks.

ps sorry bout the spelling and not sure if this is the right place for this.

Have you had the injectors cleaned recently. If not, then it may be caused by some gunk holding the injector partially open all the time.

If it floods, there are 2 things to do. Either crank with WOT (this allows plenty of air in to burn with the fuel) or remove the fuel pump fuse and crank until the engine "kicks", then replace the fuse.

What is "WOT" :D

Is the coolant temp sensor 1 of the 2 comming of the top pipe?

If so have tested both of them and compaired them with my gts and they read the same. Could it still be buggerd even if they are reading the same??

thanks :)

Wide Open Throttle.

There are 2 coolant temp sensors. They are located in the pipe off the top radiator hose. The 2-pin one is for the ECU, the 1-pin one is for the gauge in the instrument cluster. You really only need to wory about the 2-pin one. If you have a GTS as well, and you know the GTS is OK, then you could swap them over and see if the problem continues.

Incorrect. The larger one is a coolant temp sensor. The smaller is a temp sender.

They are different and both have different functions.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
