KE30 1G Starting Probs

[Trent-KE30]

Hey guys,

Recently my car has been not starting, like ill be idling and it will just stop or i turn it off and it won't start again, car has a 1G with Microtech LTX12, now the microtech is showing no errors, its getting fuel, all the fuses are good, its got good cranking amps so not alternator, any other ideas?, leave it for a few minutes and it fires again?

Cheers guys

CAS leaking oil?

[Kedderz]

1ggtes have a dizzy arangement, unless hes replaced it with the 1ggze cas unit.

[Cuzzo]

They can both leak oil.

Dizzy leaking oil?

[Kedderz]

when its doing its "wont start thing" do you get spark?

[Trent-KE30]

It doesn't run a dizzy, the microtech manages the spark and ignition with a cas. and single coil packs.

Not sure i will check that next time it happens, its happened about 5-6 times, also its got a 910 bosch pump and recently when i turn my blinkers on it sort of sounds like the voltage to the pump is low and mimics the blinking sound?? only started noticing this recently,

thanks kedderz n adam

Put a multimeter on the battery and test under all conditions, crank, ign, off,

find out how many vaults it on. Could be a dead batt.

[Trent-KE30]

well i looked at the voltage readout on the hand controller driving normally around 14.5v, cranking about 10-11?

sound right?

[Cuzzo]

does yes. check when its off. you will need a multimeter. Check all earths and make sure they are tight and on clean metal.

Battery in the boot?

[Trent-KE30]

Yeah battery in boot, all earths in boot look good, got a earth grounding thingy in the engine bay with all the earths on that, I'll have to have a chat to Josh about it tonight.

Cheers Adam

Heya trentus.
If its cranking strong it wont be bad battery or terminals.....

Could the fuel pump possibly be shagged/dicky? Perhaps its unable to supply enough fuel pressure for the injectors when it plays up (when it mimics voltage drop from blinkers). But, comes good again when it cools down or watever

I have a secondhand 044 and a VL turbo fuel pump we can throw in it for a bit to see if its the problem

[YLD-16L]

Yeah Trent, can you clarify, is it cranking but not firing??

What's your fuel pressure reading when this trouble happens?

Do you happen to have a Malpassi fuel reg?

[Trent-KE30]

Yeah its not temp related though bro, cause sometimes it does it when its operating temp or stone cold?

Could be bad earths im guessing..

Cranking strong as, jus using stock regulator.

[YLD-16L]

Cranking strong as, jus using stock regulator.

Chuck a fuel pressure gauge on (they are cheap less than $40 for a turbosmart one, less than $20 for a speco) and rule out a fuel pressure issue due to what ever reason.

Might save you chasing unknown faults.
