Still cant fire up VH45DE!

[sinfiniti]

Hey, still trying to get the VH45DE halfcut to start.*cranks with good speed.*have changed the ECU*ECU (both) show an error "54" code.

Im begining to wonder if my injectors may be blocked?...has this hapened to anyone else?

[maxnix]

Halfcut? Is it a V4 now?

[elwesso]

code 54 doesnt concern us, just means its getting nothing from the TCU...

are you feeding it proper fuel pressure, and are you getting spark?

Halfcut? Is it a V4 now?

You being serious ?

A halfcut is the front half of a car, in this case probably a Q45.

[elwesso]

i actually heard you could get the Cima's with VH45s too... I know a guy in europe that apparently has a VH45 powered Cima, says it came stock like that.

[Mettler]

Oh true ? They'll probably be Y33 Cimas.

Ahh, but a whole engine, right?

[slownslurious]

its half the car dude. the front half. from the dashboard forward.

[Ozzie]

Americans know them as "front clips".

It's up to all of us to educate them!

[slownslurious]

nah halfcut is pretty common nonclemenature over here too

thats really a good one. makes my day.

how about - halfcut? is it a \4 now?

\4 + /4 = V8.

[slownslurious]

didn't saab 9000's have slant 4's in em?

how is your CAS? you sure it`s working right?

[sinfiniti]

Wow thanks for some replys guys, i was worried ild never get feed back on this so..

*havent checked the CAS, what is the appropriate method to do so?*whats the best way to check for spark?, being that they are coil-on-plug arrangement. (i was gonna pull one off, plug a "9th" sparkplug in and see if i could get a spark,... but then i retought that idea )

[elwesso]

just leave the spark plug in the coil and ground it against the plenum.......

IF your not getting any CAS signal the ECU will throw a code... ONe way to see if its working is with the ignition switch on, simply turn the CAS (after taking it out of the head) and see if you hear the injectors clicking..

[sinfiniti]

yeah, will try the spark plg with the coil grounded on a flying loom- just to be safe(-ish).

if i got spark, ill pull the CAS out and test it. cheers again for the input boys.... i sort of gave up on it for a while...if worse comes to worse and the CAS is shot, where can i get$ one from? cheep-cheep?

[sinfiniti]

THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!!!

got it sorted now... it was the CAS, fixed the problem and it fired up INSTANTLY!!!!

[Ozzie]

sweet! glad to hear it!

I actually have a CAS on my "shelf of infiniti parts".....But I guess you won't be needing it!

[autoworkz]

THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!!!
