Hi guys, New guy here with a Rs13 200sx with Ca18det engine stage 2 tuned.
One morning when I went off to work, the car didn't want to start, Engine cranked but no buzzing from the fuel pump. Checked the fuel pump fuse but it was OK.
Then I realised that none of the 3 green relays (ignition, EGI and EGI pump) were closing. No sound from them what so ever, Late for work I left the car at home.
When I got home I continued my troubleshooting. I bridged pin 3 and 5 on the fuel pump relay and the fuel pump immediatly starts working. So no problem there,
But I have no spark so the car still doesn't want to start.
I've switched the relays around and tried again but no luck. Measured the voltage in EGI relay pin 3 and 5.
Pin 5 to ground: Battery voltage 12,8 volts
Pin 3 to ground: 7,4 volts.
This doesn't seem right to me. I have followed the black/white wire from pin 3 to the Ecu pin 109 which I read is the ECU Power supply. I cant understand why I have 7 volts there when the EGI relay is open. The voltage must come from the ECU?
Checked for faulty codes and it shows nr 43 and nr 21
21 - Ignition signal missing in primary coil Wiring fault etc., sensor, ECU No or difficult start, bad idle, misfires
43 - Throttle position sensor circuit Wiring fault etc., sensor, ECU lack of power, low economy, stalling
I have measured the tps and it seems ok.
Any idea what next and how to solve it? I am completely clueless.
