    Default 4AGE 16v ITB's start issue

    Hey all,

    now forgive me if it has been covered before but i haven't really seen a setup like mine???

    I'm having trouble with it starting, its a fresh conversion, all wired up correctly (i hope lol) but it will not start???

    It's a JDM 16v bigport with Quads, standard ECU, now i know the standard ECU wont support the Quads but it came with an Apexi SAFC, but im pretty sure it should still run (just rough) on the stock ECU?? corect me if im wrong.

    1. i have Fuel
    2. its reaching the rail and injectors (brought new injectors)
    3. i know it runs because of the good old start ya bastard down the trottles
    4. am getting 12v to injectors (tested with multimeter)
    5. hooked a wire from 10 pin plug, plug5 (injector) to + terminal on coil to see if i could get it going....
    6. i have spark (pulled a plug to check)

    So also i have like a little canister that a heap of vac lines are hooked up to, vac sensor, 4x little nibs on the bottom of each throttle, im guessing my FPR is meant to go to this too? see pic



    This is how the lines come out of the quads, excuse my lack of paint skills =D



    this is my Quad setup, have been told by a few peeps that they have never seen quads like this before? they are on a modded NISMO adapter plate???



    now i have found these few wires wrapped up in my injector loom, i have tested them and a few have a current/earth running through, i think some are off the old cold start injector???



    so please if any of you have any ideas as to why i get no start action let me know!!!! any info will be greatly appreciated.

    I hope i have given enough info hahaha

    Thanks,
    Ben

    Have you hooked a test light up to the injectors to see if they pulse? That would be the next thing to check.
    If they don't make sure the ecu has the starter signal, which would cause the injectors to not pulse.

    Yes the FPR needs vacuum.

    Those extra wires I would check the ecu pinouts for them but of the top of my head.
    The black/white would be a starter wire
    Green water temp maybe, although it doesn't look like a standard wire.
    Black/yellow is a sensor usually depends on adm or jdm etc so check for your specific engine.
    Brown will most likely be the earth for that sensor.

    The two on the far right look like reverse lights.

    Also check your timing mine was waaaaay out and was cause me issues when I first did my conversion.

    Thanks It's_AUDM_Yo, i actually just checked the injector on cyl 1 to see if it was pulsing, i just brought an LED fro Jaycar and poped it into the injector plug, my f@#king battery is flat...... can't win!!!

    back to auto barn brought a jumper pack, oh what do ya know that's flat too......

    swapped battery out of the other car and yup NO PULSE SIGNAL!!!!

    How do i check the ecu has the starter signal???
    thanks agian

    You need to wire the tps in reverse if using the stock ecu....

    Is the main earth from the 16v loom connected (4 or more brown wires) somewhere, it normally bolts to the inlet manifold.

    ah ok.... didn't know that about the TPS.... but tis is how i got it, it was wired that way? should i turn it round n have a go?

    yes, there is a strap that is 4 wire connected to the intake, i have also run an earth from the 1st bolt on intake to the chassis just in case it wasn't earthed properly.

    Exhibit A.



    i have had the first injector out testing it to see if it get pulse.

    Earth looks fine.

    The starter signal is IGF its a black/yellow wire that comes from the igniter, so I would just check that has continuity to the plug going into the ecu.

    Another thing you may have to look into is if your injectors need a resistor pack or not and if it has one.

    The Stock Ecu is a Map sensor 16V Ecu?
    If so you will need to hook MAP sensor vacuum.

    Those are 20V quads yeah?
    If so the 4 points underneath, if not drilled out, are covered by the throttle butterfly's when throttle is closed.
    Not a good source at idle.
    Nibs on the ends can be T pieced into 1 then run to brake booster

    If they are 20V quads
    Read this

    And this

    And this


    ^
    Is that black/white wire STA?
    STA Tells Ecu engine is being started - connect this wire to the start relay output, or the black starter SOLENOID wire, not the main cable.
    ... It must have power, when the engines turning over and starting (if not powered, no start / couple of fires that’s it).

    man im not at all sure about that wire??? all of them were wrapped up and seemed to be in no use at all???

    i initially thought that they were GTIR quads when i saw the adapter plate (has nismo on it) but pretty sure they are Blacktops

    You know how to pick Blacktop's? Base of the TB is oval like shaped where as ST are rounder
