Greeting From Taranaki, NZ

Hey there CVR4 members! its great to be online!

i have recently purchased a 92 E84A with 6A12 TT motor. as far as i can see everything is still stock on it. (with exception to after market BoV and K&N mas and filter)

every new thing to learn i have come to this forum. and now its time to post

i've been in the prosess of painting it. daily freight red ( bright ).

Then...

i had to take it to work for a couple of days, got to my work mates house stopped the car and waited.
he came out, jumped in and HELLO, car wouldn't start.

i hard wired the fuel pump to check it and it works but wont pump when the car is on

i also noticed that there's no spark and the fuel pump relay isnt operating...

sound familiar???

i dont really want to pay for computer diagnosis, (quoted around $75 )

so. am i right in assuming that no fuel and no spark means no ECU?
note: the check engine light has never come on.

thanks in advance
khryss

Fuses need to be worth a check. Does the car have an immobiliser fitted?

and I hope you get it running soon.

[khryssroq]

no immobilizer that i know. the guy i got it from said he took 1 out of it.

i've checked the fuses and they're all sweet.

can any1 explain where the crank angle and cam angle sensors are and what the might look like
as i've heard that if faulty can contribute to no fuel no spark issues

also im working on deciphering error codes but its a bit of a hassle as im new to the whole computer controlled engine thing.

Hi welcome to the club
http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Mitsubishi...00000002365819

That gives a basic guide of error codes, their is a more indepth guide in the members area

[ILLEGAL]

welcome along bro. faulty ecu WONT make the check engine light come on. cam angle and crank will/should.. best to run diagnosis first then get back to us. if no codes let us know.

sucks this is your first post (problem related)

[khryssroq]

thanks for the help guys.

im going to try to get codes soon.

also. my 4WS light and ABS light have never turned off. back wheels dont shudder so i never bothered with them. Possible contributing factor?

hopefully when i get going again i'll post some pics and idea's for some upgrades. looking at bigger IC and maybe turbo's +new custom intake pipe work
Richard, ive seen your car on the youtube. mean bro. might be able to give you a VR challenge some day. haha

[khryssroq]

OK!!!

turns out my ECU is fried. Soo... if you know any one with a spare MD180563 ECU or something suitable. Please let me know

thanks and thanks again .

[khryssroq]

thanks, for the welcome. and all the help!!

[ILLEGAL]

okay.. been searching for my other ecu and i cant seem to find it?? could be up whangarei at my GF moms place??? its not here anyway, sorry.

[khryssroq]

All Good richard,
i sourced one locally. so called "Rebuilt" (go figure). from partsworld. Up And running now. ( stoked! ) got a couple of layers of paint on not shiney yet tho. look ing good.

got any tips on keeping my engine cooler ??
Even my intake mani gets hot to touch...

[ILLEGAL]

thats awesome to hear.. was disappointed i couldn't help out there.

with the temps, all i hae done is use a thick radiator core. my intake still gets hot.. and in between runs i leave my bonnet open untill i get to the end of the lanes. some times i have a misting bottle handy but dont let the officials see you spraying because they might stop you racing due to dropping fluids on the track. but yep they sure do get hot. even now it still does.

[khryssroq]

thats a relief to hear. i've done a radiator flush and put in 70\30 antifreeze\boil next i guess is to get some premium motor oil.

did wraping you mani help with engine temp?

do you think an engine flush is worth it or just a filter change.. lol

[ILLEGAL]

personally i flush and oil+filter change, every... EVERY 5000kms... and i wraped my exhaust only because i didnt want to melt anything.. it runs real close to alot of parts so although im sure it did make a differance, because i have nothing covering the exhaust housing im not sure the overall setup is running cooler under the hood.. the engine/water temps are always below half (by a bit) unless i do burnouts and it skyrockets straight away to over half way on the gauge.. then gos close to red in afew more seconds.. but i pretty much have no cooling fan on it.
