jumping350 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Any forced induction guys help would be appreciated Cars is not tuned yet! Anyway since its been home its been started once to move out of garage and put back in where i discovered a small oil leak by the sump (nothing major) So today decided to try and tackle it, started the car reversed her a bout 4 metres and turned off, jacked car up had a look and decided not to touch anything and sump needs to be taken off so put car back down removed Veilside and was going to turn here around and put in backwards so can remove the sump another day. Car started moved it forward about 3 metres it chugged and died and now wont start. Car appears to have spark and fuel (FPR regulator comes on fine) oil pressure is fine, there is some smoke out the back now but i suspect because it hasn't been tuned anyway, smell of fuel is present but again probably because it is running rich. Car has started but died immediately afterwards. Ive checked everything i think in my power and all seems accounted for, im going to put more fuel in and try one more time just to see if it makes a difference. Could this be fuel bucket issue? its a chugging type action thats happening oh and only code that has come up is ignition timing, ive also cleared this code and still the same, i do have the option on my datascan to reset the ecu is this worth a go? Any thoughts welcome Edited September 20, 2015 by jumping350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Smoke, cold, very short movement, fuel smell out the back, not tuned - and I take it you've got your big injectors in? Assuming you've not dislodged any sensors, plugs are in the right order (should be as it worked before), my quick guess is it's just flooded. Just a guess though. Could just try cranking with fuel relay pulled and foot on accelerator for a few secs, then put it back together to see if it fires? Or just wait a bit to see it it clears then try again? You do really need to be on a new map with big injectors... ...Just saw you added a bit about ignition timing - cam or crank sensors would be worth a check if it doesn't clear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yes got big injectors in, il take a look at crank and cam sensors , granted its not tuned but should still start and idle? it does chug into life then chugs straight out again, il give it sometime to clear though it has been sitting there for two weeks since I last started it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 ok seems my battery is dead now so maybe that was the problem it has been mentioned to me a few times that my tiny jdm battery might not cut it, so any links to a better battery on imports? what amp should I get? or do i swap terminals round for UK ones as il get a better battery choice? My current battery below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Swop out to larger terminals and fit a UK battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thanks Alex do you happen to have any UK terminals at the moment? with fuse bit as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Should have all in stock mate, however it will be tomorrow before I am back over at the shop. Drop me a PM if you can wait. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Check your plugs aswell mate. We've just been through something similar with an s13. Was running that rich and only getting moved about the car park for a week and it fouled the plugs with so much fuel. Worth a try. Did you put 1 step colder plugs in it?

jumping350 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Il take a look thanks, yes one step colder plugs are in already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Presume running a fuel return system,larger injectors, colder plugs, have you also added a Uprev Air flow meter upgrade? If so the car has wetted the plugs up; Until you get a tune loaded into the ECU the car will be excessively rich. Pull the plugs , refit you old plugs and it should start ensure you warm the car right up before turning the car off. The removed plugs will require re-newing thou as soaked spark plugs never perform very well we have found even after being dried out; I can throw a Map in your ECU to get you running even if you want to go to Jez to have the tune.

jumping350 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) yep fuel return system,570cc injectors, colder plugs and uprev maf, that doesnt sound to bad if its just new plugs I can live with that.

jumping350 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Went and charged battery over night for a fiver, i must of just left zed for around a week sitting in my garage, was gonna take sump off thought I would just try one more time before I replaced the plugs...fired up first time a bit sluggish but ok, bit of smoke out the back, left it to idle and warm up, all smoke cleared and idle just as she did before Must of soaked the plugs when I switched her off last time without warming up properly and the weak battery didnt help Edited October 3, 2015 by jumping350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
