Dead!!!
hi guys i got a small problem and hoping for some little help.i went to start my car yesturday and it was turning over but then it stopped and it was like the battery was dead instantly so i got a jump start and it started but nothing else works like my fuel pumps and once the jump start battery was taken off my battery is like dead again....any ideas of what the problem is anyone???

could be a number of problems man,
a short list
battery is totaled time for a new one
earths arent getting a good connection
alternator most likley and change it
doubt its cas if it started when jump starting
but my money is on alternator as when mine died it just cut out like battery was dead, before you change it make sure all wires and the little black plug is conected on rear of unit
and could quite possibly not mean your alternator is dead if the black plug is disconected as thats all mine was
know what i mean is when it started by jump start it did die cause the fuel that was in the carby ran out even with a jump start my fuel pumps was not working and when it died the first time my clock on the dash went to 1:00 like i just took the battery off and put it back on..
so can you hear the fuel pump whirring when you turn the ignition on? if not check the fuses and relays.
and by the way the rb30 has fuel injection
no i can't hear the fuel pumps and have checked the fuses and relays

basically it ran on the fuel left in the fuel rail...
i would think fuel pumps
internal (inertia) and external (highflow) you should hear the pumps running when ignition is on for about 4-6 sec to prime the system... then when cranking both pumps will turn on and stay on..
if u cannot hear pumps its the pumps...
Fuses and relays first... then check spade connectors and plugs on fuel pumps under car rear near diff then pumps themself.
Goodluck

could also be that your ecu has shit itself too check that both leds are on when ignition is on
Dead battery, not holding any charge.
if it was dead battery not holding charge i'd still hear the pumps working but i got nothing....what is ECU and where is it located?
well when i put the ignition on i got full power but when i go to turn it to start it i got nothing....
so whats happening exactly?fuel pump working now?
i know my calais when i put it back together the neautral switch was playing up
no i got nothing but when i first turn ignition key to have the dash light s on it reads as i got full power no pump noise nothing but then when i turmn the key to start i got nothing no dash ignition lights nothing then i turn the key off and i turn it and it's all there again untill i try to start it.
looks as though i got power sometimes but not enough to do anything and it's not the battery the battery is good...if i was to get someone else to jump me i can turn the car over but i still got no pumps working

the ecu is the computer, its located behind the left kick panel, could be a losse earth or bad earth or possibly loose battery terminal, because i hear from what you are saying is when you turn the key to on you have dash lights. that should be correct. when you turn to start you should only have handbrake light if hanbrake is up.
when you let go of start back to on your dash lights should come back on without turning all the way off and back on again
Rollin
now if they dont come on from when you go from on to start and back to on again without going all the way off.
my money is on bad earth, or loose battery terminal.
so to check that do the following:
tighten battery clamps
follow earth wires to body and motor...MAKE sure there clean and not corroded and tight, if not take them off and give a clean with a wire brush, reconnect
at your starter motor, make sure the big fat red wire (postive to battery) is tight on the starter motor.
as to check ecu, pull left hand kick panel off
turn key to on
on the side of the metal box there(which is the ECU) there will be a hole...you will see a green and red led.....make sure there on and flashing or solid
check plugs at the bottom of ecu and make sure there in there tight etc etc
sounds exactly the same problem as what i had.i had dash lights turn ignition and nothing except i had fuel pump
Rollin
yep yep was that your neutral switch or ya relay for neutral switch?
if ya need a quick fix for that just put a jump wire from the two purple wires near battery from realy to each other, only thing is you will be able to start it in all gears but ey it works and if you know what gear its in then you would know not to start it lol
could you say that step by step like what relay the ignition relay? and is it just a straight positive to the realy?Originally Posted by Nackerz
i fixed mine by this way.the wires that come from starter to a plug that goes down to trans well that plug was oily on my car.i wd40'd it and it started
Rollin
you wont need to do this if its turning over with the key when jump starting, try all the other things suggested first and then i will tell you how to do this
well i have tried everything even got a new battery brand new it turns over but nothing from the fuel pumps....fuel pumps are good it's just like they not getting powerr to them
may i ask how you know they are good?im sure theres a way you can run some new wires to pump to overide it?sure my mate done this once before
well for one i was turning the car over to start and it went to start and it died then i got a jump start and it started till the fuel ran out of rail....i can only turn it over if i got a fully chared battery or a jump start the original battery i had in it was good cause i put it in my sisters car and it started hers.so i looseing power somewhere
alternator also another simila5r problem i used to have
