I went in the garage this morning to check the relay, i took it out checked for continuity inbetween the terminals and pugged it into 12v to hear it clicking. then i plugged it back in turned ignition and left it on and it didnt do it, will have a look at the wiring later on today. The det3 its just playing up one min itll start fine and run and the next it will run rough and struggle to start, tbh with all the electrical problems i have had recantly i think it could be a bad earth, i've not had it plugged in for ages cos all the other problems i had so al need to check the wiring first, how did you go about the boost cut? Did you clamp the voltage?

Thanks again mate, this car is so tempremental now it started randomly engaging the starter motor if the key is turned on, even if the car is running itll engage itself. If the ignition is left on the car will start itself, think theres a fault in the wiring somwhere. Shane i was going through old post and i came across one of your ones saying that u were running det3 piggyback? How did you find it? I cant get mine one to work.

Cheers mate, finaly i can put this whole thing back together I was going to put pictures of the 2 earth cables up but its not letting me.

Right... the car started! Shane you are a star i owe u a pint!, thanks everyone else for the input, it was the earth under the manifold that wasnt connected still have one more i need to find a place to secure it but for now i had it wired stright to the - battery terminal, will try and get some pictures posted tomorrow for anyones referance

Thanks mate thats a decent read will try your ideas tomorrow hopefully will get a minute in the garage, really appriciate it mate. When i crank it now with all the vacum ports closed off there is a strong smell of unburned petrol so i think i am getting fuel. Will keep you updated after i try them things tho

Tried removing the igniter sanding down the contact point and still nothing. Could vacuum leak be causing this? I can hear a hissing noise for couple of sec after i stop cranking the engine

Cheers mate will have a look tonight at it

I will have a look at the ignitor earth tomorrow, i pulled the fuse box out re tightend the power going into it and now i have power at the injectors but still no start, it sounds like its wanting to go but nothing, i also checked the tps and its fine, last thing i think could be causing this is the iacv which i dont have on my ffim. When i was cranking the engine with 1 vacum port open there was no signs of life and as soon as i pluged the charcoal canister to the open vacum it sounded like it wanted to go but i couldnt get it to run. Would iacv be causing this?

Yeah... i think so ha ill need to double check, also last night i checked and my injectors are not getting 12v power anymore and now it wont even start with a spray of break cleaner.

Right i have changed the fuel rail and the fpr back to oem ones and it made no differance, i am truly stuck now no idea where to look anymore

Yeah the injectors are standard

Thanks for the ideas guys i might try standard fpr with the oem rail later, yeah i tried setting the timing to 10 degrees but no luck, and i cant put the old dizzy back on, also i have noticed the rpm guage doesnt move when am cranking but works ok once its running could that be the cam sensor?

Havnt touched the ecu its the standard one on it, it doesnt even start when its warm by itself

Looking for any help. Been stuck with this for about a month now[ANGRY][/ANGRY], I build my na-t with a cheap gt35 then it decided to poop itself and spill hot oil all over the manifold causing it to burst into flames, Luckly i had an extinguisher and managed to put it out before any major damage was done. I got on with tidying the mess, So i went with a new turbo holset hx52 11cm. I then realised it wont clear my dizzy so i bought a 4 runner one. After that i realised that my intake wont fit over the turbo, so i decided to go with ffim so i got a second hand speedtek one with a fuel rail and a throttle, then bought new seals for injectors and a new tomei replica fpr. I got it all put together and now it wont START!!, It cranks and cranks but nothing, i definatly get fuel in the rail as i had a leak and it pished everywhere, also i pulled the spark plugs and they are sparking, manualy plugged injectors to 12v and i can hear them clicking. The strangest thing is... when i spray some electrical cleaner/brake cleaner into the manifold the car will start and will run fine.. Any idea what could be causing this? Any help would be appriciated [sAD][/sAD]
