And another issue.. CAS?

[Dum*P*ster]

Howdy again lol!

Right, so i've put new injectors in!! Not leaking anymore!

However, the fail start up is still persisting..But, this time it's not coughing out back fuel smoke via the exhaust anymore

So, when I go to start the car up, she winds and winds..Each wind sounding closer to start up, but when it does for the first few secs.. it's like the engine is trying to escape.. its making thumping noises that really shakes the shit outa the car lol..

A few buddies of mine, suggest its the CAS (Crank angel sensor) it's dying..

Just asking, is this true?
Or is there a way to fix it before, I order the CAS ?
Im also thinking , the starter motor could be kicking the bucket aswell..

Any help is appreciated

Thanks lol

Once it finally does start, how does it run??

Can you get a loan of a fuel pressure gauge and see if your fuel pump is running up to pressure ??

[Dum*P*ster]

first few seconds is really rough! then after a bit of throttle it sorts it self out.

But when it stops at red lights etc etc it will begin to make a knocking sound

Havent tried a fuel pressure gauge..Where do i put the gauge in tho? never done it before

[WogBoyz]

id get ur fuel pump checked, also it could be the CAS if there not expensive id change it anyway if it hasnt been done before

[Dum*P*ster]

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get fuel gauge anyway lol. But, if I do get one..What should the gauge be sitting on, "Lean" - "Stoich" - "High" ? (Looking at this one - http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...155249#details)

OR! if it has number indicated ones, what should it be sitting at?

Fuel pump, is stock..And has been running VERY Close to Empty once..As I was outta town and forgot to re-fill before leaving ... But, it's quiet..not loud or anything. But, being so close to E it would not surprise me if i've farked it lol.

As for CAS, it's about $50 to buy it, plus $60-70 for a mech to put it in..


Once this is done..She will be all good

when you turn the key on, before you start the engine, do ya hear the fuel pump prime?

[Dum*P*ster]

Yep I let it prime before I fire the engine up

[WogBoyz]

Yep I let it prime before I fire the engine up

pump sounds like its all good then, id get ya cas replaced then see how it goes

[Dum*P*ster]

will be Im sure it's the CAS. as the engine makes a knock sound wile sittin, not hard..but noticeable :P

Like a mate of mine with a VS had a rooted CAS, and his shook like theres no tomoro LOL

[Dum*P*ster]

thank's to Hozy..Further investigation is pointing towards Coilpack and/or DFI module..

When the rain stop, i plan to do a spark test

[bpefi]

Hi all I would be looking at coils first any good mechanic should be able to test these - They seem to fail regularly

[Dum*P*ster]

wouldnt be free by any chance would it ?

[Dum*P*ster]

rigt.. the coil pack and/or DFI is shagged lol..

[Zuicider]

did u get a mech to test the resistance? in the coils? because if your cas is fried u wont be getting any spark

[greenfoam]

Your balancer is shagged, as for the hard to start I'd would have said leaking injectors but since you have new ones maybe not

[Dum*P*ster]

replaced its coils..and its happy

still get the odd knock wile idling or stopped.. next, harmonic balancer!

[Dum*P*ster]

welp.. problem has been found. Its fuel related.. I take the fuel pump fuse out..Start the car..Let it stall then put the fuse back in .. Waited 30min. kicks first go.. Highly suspecting fuel pump or damage line :P

woot. gettin closer!
