Hey all. Question time! A few weeks ago I was merrily driving along when all of a sudden, mid corner and off boost, the engine cut out. Attempted to restart the car, but it wouldn't have it, even jumping it off another car.
The situation:
I believe it's lack of a spark, but that's just a guess, and I really need to get a timing gun on there but does anything immediately come to mind to people?
The situation:
- The engine turns over on the starter motor and nothing is obviously mechanically knackered.
- Connections on the CAS and the ignition amp have been checked.
- A new coilpack loom has been put in.
- A different ignition amp has been tried.
- I have not yet used a timing gun to check whether there's a definite spark
- Fuel pump is making priming noise when ignition is turned on but I haven't yet checked fuel pressure.
- Nissan Datascan shows an RPM reading when engine being turned over, and injectors can be heard clicking which I believe rules the CAS out as being the fault.
- There is definitely fuel in the tank, over half a tank full.
- After a certain amount of time attempting to start the car, you can smell fuel emanating from the exhaust.
