Please help !!! Need to get Sr running 👏

[jlmillionaire]

Hi guys, I need help this car is driving me nuts. I've done a bunch of mods here's the list .
850cc dw injectors
Arp headstuds
Hks springs and retainers
Tomei 260 cams
Peakboost mani
Gt3076r twin scroll
Z32mafs
Rs enthaply tune.

So I checked for spark have spark on all 4 coils.
Also spark plugs smelled of fuel
Checked return line from fuel rail and fuel pours out.
Today I redid my timing by setting the exhaust cam dowel @12oclock
And the intake can set at 9 and the crank pulley on the second mark . And redid the cas . I have a quick video of me trying to get her started. Don't mind the way it looks haha just need to get her started!!!https://youtu.be/07QxFLWLwh4

Any gurus out there to help me out thanks

From the video and description, it sounds like its missing air. You can try 4 things, crack open the throttle plate or open up a vacuum line. You can also unplug the mafs.
You can remove the fuel pump fuse, after it starts put it back in. If any of those work, you either have to much fuel or not enough air.

How sure are you mechanical timing is correct?
Is there an immobilizer on the car?
This sounds like a easy one, it'll probably be something simple.

Unplugged my mafs must of had it wired wrong , the car fired rite up .but my oil filter relocation was leaking so now I have to fix that and it's a bitch

[dorkidori_s13]

im starting to see a common pattern in a lot of peoples problems.

it seems like quite often these types of threads are posted and frequently list "RS Enthalpy Tune"... wonder if that has anything to do with it.

not being a smart ass, just posting an observation.

The common denominator is almost always people with no experience.

I feel bad for Martin.

[dorkidori_s13]

The common denominator is almost always people cheap out instead of buying a stand alone and doing it right the first time.


fixed that for yah... :kiss:


to the OP, seeing as you unplugged your MAF and the car ran fine (went into diag mode), this means its something to do with the MAF itself. unplug the MAF, check all of the pins inside of the MAF plug located on the harness, these tend to flatten out over the years (which can cause nightmares in diagnosing problems). also, try cleaning the MAF sensor along with the pins in both the wiring harness plug and the MAF itself. silly question... are you sure you dont have the MAF installed backwards?

fixed that for yah... :kiss:

If I got a stand alone I'd still only let one person tune it.

:fawkd:

[jlmillionaire]

It's possible I have it wired wrong, yes I'm not a master mechanic but I'm pretty handy and I do a lot of research, and ask fellow Zilvia members for help . I might just buy a new mafs and jgy did my wire harness I think they do fucking shitty work . I'm going to get a pro series harness from yury. I'm not the type to give up I have great passion for my cars and I'm willing to do whatever it takes and I don't care about how many times it takes to figure things out .

[dorkidori_s13]

no ones hating on you here man... chill buddy ;)

Yea I know Zilvia guys are great you guys have been helping for years !!

[jlmillionaire]

Guys I'm back at square 1 cranks but doesn't start , has to change head gasket due to getting the wrong je pro seal headgasket. I'm so frustrated I'm getting spark and plugs smell like fuel, I even did the mechanical timing over again. Pretty sure I got it rite . Intake cam gear for is at 10 and exhaust cam dot is at 12. When I went to stab the cas it looked lined up to me .i also tried rotating the cas in every position still wouldn't start. I need some help guys thabka

[jlmillionaire]

My wire harness is really shitty , but the car does crank . I really don't want spend 650 on ws pro harness and it not fix whatever issues I'm having

Multimeter

[jlmillionaire]

I have a multimeter , but does it look like my timing is off ? Car cranks but doesn't start

[TheRealSy90]

I think your cam timing is off and retarded by one tooth. Try advancing them both forward one tooth. Hard to be sure with the angle of the picture though. Maybe take one angled parallel with the cylinder head.

[jlmillionaire]

Ok I'll take more pics thanks dude I want to get her fired up so so bad

I looked at other photos on the internet on how the cas dots are lined up, and it looks like the yellow dot is lined up with the notch and the yellow dot is center of the exhaust cam . Mine is slightly off to the right .im thinking I'm off somewhere

[cotbu]

If you are at tdc and crank is at zero, you have to readjust the cams. Start with the #1 lobes pointing out <¤ ¤>. forget adj gears and cas for now. Looks like the chain is on correct. The cams themselves are off probably because of the adj gears.

After you adjusted the cams <¤¤> and crank tdc reinstall the cas per the fsm. After it fires set base idle and timing dont just settle for its in the middle. G/L

Looks like your a tooth or 2 off rotate it counter clock wise

I fixed the issue with the mechanical timing, now my issue is that my engine cranks but I need to press down on the throttle to even get it started. I used carb cleaner to clean iavc , messed with the plastic iavc screw didn't help. Reset my aeromotive fpr to 43.5 while a helper put the ignition to the on posistion. Engine does start but I have to keep cranking with my foot on the throttle . If I let go of the throttle the engine stalls out. I'm lost at this point. Any advice guys thanks

[cotbu]

Heres a test, prime the fuel pump then remove the fuel pump fuse. Start the engine without pressing the throttle at all. Does it fire at all? You probably just need to finish setup, base idle and timing.

Base idle and timing mode is where/when you adjust the idle control valve (plastic iacv screw)

You going to need to keep the engine running and get it to operating temp. Depending on how far ign is off you might need a helper to keep it alive or jig the throttle valve while you're adjust things. Tps closed .45v cas 15°btdc iacv 50% etc. After that you should be idling normally.

Honestly, I would suggest a compression test... from your previous pics, both cams look 2 full teeth retarded... the FSM has a pic showing how many teeth from the top of the head (valve cover mating surface) to the reference dots, each cam should be positioned... with the engine at TDC, (verify with something long down the spark plug hole in cyl #1 while slowly rotating the motor until you know the piston is at the top of the bore, this is in case the crank pulley rubber isolator is damaged and the inner and outer rings are no longer aligned and the 2nd mark on the crank pulley is not true TDC) both cam lobes for cyl #1 should be pointing away from each other, and the cam gear teeth from the top of the head to the cam gear alignment dot should be 5 for intake, 9 for exhaust.

The FPR should be adjusted to 43.5psi with the vacuum reference line disconnected. If you adjusted it with the line connected and the engine running, your base pressure is 43.5psi PLUS whatever your engine pulls for *vacuum* while running. This would result in overfueling as well

[jlmillionaire]

Guys my engine harness is literally falling apart, its old and needs to be replaced . As soon as I do that I will let you guys know how it turns out

Yes I found on my cas one of the pins were broke , I will post a video link shortly. I just paid for another one , waiting for it to come in the mail

[Bcombs14]

Glad you found it, thanks for the reply.
