Ok, post for my brother who isn’t on here. He’s recently picked up a VR Ute with an injected 304 strokes to 355. It’s running a standard dizzy, upgraded fuel pump, Haltech platinum and a few other bits. It’s also a 5 speed manual.
Bought it and drove it. Filled it up and then it would crank, but not fire. Off to the local shop.
They said his module was fried and replaced it. Started and drove off.
Next drive and he’s cruising, it loses power and dies. Won’t start. Tow truck back to the shop. They have it for two weeks, replace the dizzy and a cracked coil and insert a diode as they think the module is getting fried again. Essentially, they didn’t know, but it started and drove home. Next drive, same thing. Dies in power and then dies. Tows it home and while getting off the truck, it starts.
I’m thinking fuel as there’s apparently a strong fuel smell.
Change out the fuel reg and check all injectors and everything is fine. No leaks under pressure.
Thinking the PCU module is the issue, he orders an after market one with a much higher amp rating. Get it, puts it in and same thing. Won’t start. Cranks, but no spark.
He has power to coil, to module, to dizzy, but no spark.
I’ve asked him to check the above have power while cranking. Thinking it’s a wiring issue from either the ignition switch (he did originally move the steering column as he’s a runny bastard), or the starter to the ignition switch. He hasn’t gotten back to me on that. We live in different states.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
