4AGE dying and not starting... Wed, 06 April 2005 21:56 Go to next message
Yesterday I was driving along the highway for about 10 minutes, low revs in top gear...

And then I got a traffic light so Im slowing down going through the gears, and then suddenly the car starts to die and my engine light turns on, I only just managed to keep it running at about 300rpm, then after a few seconds feathering the throttle it eventually picked up revs again...

What happened? Any ideas as to what it could be?

Lately it has been impossible to start, and runs like absolute crap until it reaches operating temp...

Like it misses and stalls...

That woudl be the sub-planetary alignment with the phase signal generator causing flux ions to build up in your inlet manifold, almost causing a catastrophic melt down in the subatomic flux field of your piston rings and gudgeon pins.

Quite common flaw with JDM engines.

I went to a workshop called "Emmett Brown Mechanics" and he changed my flux capacitor for me.

you dylithium crystals were on the verge of meltdown, and luckily the reactor core was able to bring up an ionic containment field thanks to the flux capacitor and restabilise the crystals before they cracked.






god knows what happened dude!

The strangeness is due to the subatomic parallelality from the two different ionic streams crossing over. Cmon really, this is basic string theory, even a gumby like you should know this. The dyadic tenets merge in the super nucleii to form small ventricules of ionic charge, which in turn affects the flux field around your piston rings. Thereby polarising the molecular charge towards the monadic enterosphere rotating around the superlative maudlin positioned at the 30* triaxes above the strings.

So as the sprinter moves through the aether relative to a non-inertial frame of reference, we should notice a fazed beam of light due to the addition of the speed of light to the relative motion of the car.

Perhaps it is only because the car is moving greater than the speed of light hence making it visible from all frames of reference and a constant.

So all I need to do is adjust the split ring commutator so that the timing of the flux being cut generates the highest EMF available...

Should be as easy as emitting highly charged protons from a slab of bauxite under Ultra Violet light...

In the latest installment,

Last night the car would not start, it took around 10 minutes to start the car...

And when I finally got home after the engine cutting out and missing, I noticed that when I turned on the headlights the car seemed to idle normally and rev freely...

I need to know wtf is going on... Does anyone have any idea???

I ran a Diagnostic check and came back with nothing...

this might sound stupid...but clean ur engine with degreaser and hose.....it might fix itself....it sounds liek some stupid fault to me....something electrical..check some plugs like TPS and other engine sensors...sometimes if ur motor leaks oil it gets in the contacts and buggers em up creating shitty problems that only occur now and then

or ur fuel filter is blocked

It only happens if you dont let it warm up properly...

Im thinking it could be the cold-start injector playing up...

cold start injector runs for like 3 seconds or less and after that does virtually nothing. To eliminate that if you want, just unplug the bastard....

otherwise, it sounds very annoying, and i dont know.

Seriously, it sounds like your hot idle is set too low, or some similar factor. Mainly because it seems to come about when there is little change in drag factor on the engine but is ok when there is a drag on the engine (like an alternator)

My hot idle is at 1000...

In the morning i just have to give her a little talk, I tell her she knows she can do it... then I wait 2 minutes while its just running at 300rpm... then suddenly she finds herself and goes up to 1500rpm...

Could be injectors sticking while they are cold. *shrugs*, sounds fuelish.

I have no idea... I've got another fuel rail here... so i might clean up the injectors...

What should they be cleaned in? Some sort of thinners?

injectors should be ultrasonically cleaned, usually by a professional Smile

hrm... idle low, then high.... hrm....

Someone was on here the other day with a similar problem. Said it was a dodgy battery connection. It can't hurt so give terminals/connectors a clean.

BTW - get a DeLorean. Your flux capacitors will then operate.

Im changing the name of the Title to get some more exposure...

I also noticed that when the headlights are turned on, Idle drops about 200rpm... WTF IS GOING ON!?!?!

Re: 4AGE dying and not starting... Wed, 13 April 2005 02:35 Go to previous messageGo to next message
its normal for your idle to drop a little with electrical loads such as headlights etc.. especially on a small engine like the 4ageeeee.

Didnt you have teh massively gheyzor 4ac alternator gaffa taped onto your 4age??

*nb: gaffa tape may or may not be bolts.

Re: 4AGE dying and not starting... Wed, 13 April 2005 08:01 Go to previous messageGo to next message
low voltage in the electrical system could be the fault. when at idle there might not be enough voltage to provide good spark. when turning lights on, it ups the current charge and supplies more voltage.

1) check the charge rate with the engine running using a multimeter. should be 14.1 - 14.5v
2)get the fuel pressure checked too
3)load test battery to ensure it doesnt have a dead cell (that will cause low voltage)
4)get that engine light checked by someone who has the codes and knows how to check em. if the light come on then it will store a code, that will provide a big help to diagnose problem

1) 14.3 pretty much perfect...
2) Regulator screw pops out, so it should be ok
3) The battery is brand new... Shouldnt have a dead cell
4) I have tried at least 4 times, no codes come out... The engine light comes on like christmas lights, it has lost all meaning...

Im having trouble with my JDM 4AGE aswell.
New Spark Plugs, new fuel filter and the battery is fine, i got that tested.
I takes quite a few cranks till it finally fires up but splatters and coughs and runs like crap always until you are driving and the car hits around 5000rpm than it just takes off????????

Cheers

whats coming out of the ass pipe? smoke?

is it running rich/lean?

sounds like your engine has aides, time for a new one.
