I Have a s15 spec-r, It was parked up in dry storage for the last year, last week i charged the battery and it started with the the first turn . It Started 2 more times within 5 minuites and now it wont,
its getting fuel. i pulled a sparkplug, earthed it off the block to test it, it wouldn't spark the first few times i tried, and then suddenly it sparked and the car started. (with only 3 spark plugs in). i put the spark plug back in and it wouldn't start again. i pulled the plugs again to test but now they wont spark at all.
I ran a diagnostic and it returned a 55 code (no fault codes present) i found this strange so i unpluged the CAS Turned the car over and ran diagnostic again and still it flashed a code of 55.... surly with the CAS unplugged the ecu would return a fault code for it?? I checked every fuse and relay to see if any where blown and they are all ok, Help i want to get it on the road for the summer :down:
iv narrowed it to 3 things bad Earth, bad CAS, or the ECU is Dhust!
Its a s15 so all the Ignitors are built into each coilpack.
there is a earth for the Coilpacks bolted onto the rear of the engine, i was going to unbolt it and clean the earth but in doing so the wire broke off at the bolt, i rejoined the wire to a peice of cable and joined it to the earth on the intake manifold, would this cause any issues?
im getting a multimetere tomorrow and im going to check to see if the coil packs are getting a 12v signal, i know the wire to check but how can i check to see if its sufficiently earthed? and how can i test the ECU to see if its operating properly? because returning a Fault code of 55 doesn't sound right. how can i test the CAS?
Basically what would stop the fuses sparking on startup as when its running its running fine.
