My CA running on 3 cylinders only.

Ok guys.

I was driving from work the other day and while cruising i hear the car starting to sound like a WRX.
Just for a half a km or so then all is fine she ran great again.
Got home and switched off.

Next morning went to shops and back about 3 km and as i pull in at home there again in 3 cylinders ever since.

What i did so far is as follows:
Checked for spark. No 4 got no spark.
Changed spark plugs.
Changed coil packs and still no 4 no spark.
Did check my CAS Fuel injectors and fuel press and a good compression test and all good.

Not sure if it can be the ignitor or a wire break in the loom somewhere ?

Need some input as this is baffling me. 😕

Thanks In advance guys. :200sx_200sx:

If I remember correctly there's a earth wire that earths the coils loom, make sure it's still connected.

Did u do a compression test out of intrest

ok did check earth but will go double check.

Reason for compression test is that i did the cylinder head last year October and thought the gasket might have blown.
Also to ease my mind that the cylinders is healthy reading about 150-160 psi.

When i have time i will go check the wiring for continuity and also check all possible earthing points.

Injector not blocked

injector is functioning 100% .
When changed plugs it was wet covered in fuel.

Does it misfire all the time or when car has warmed up? Had similar issue

Yes it is constant at startup and definitely a dead cylinder.
I disconnected the fuel injector until i can sort it out.

I only drive if it is extremely important.

😈 Give back my cylinder ... 😁

See if a fellow friend will borrow you an ignitor to try. Im very sure thats the problem

Where about are u?

my thought also the ignitor or so ... i am staying near Simon's Town in Glencairn.

Otherwise i should just get a management system fitted.

I have 1. Can u pickup in ottery?

sure if it is ok must i travel with my car or pick it up rather with the bike if weather permits ?
Oh and just say when and where.

Thanks hope this solves it.

Come with your bike if you can. Its a bit of a distance to drive on 3 cylinders. You can pick it up and try it. Hope it solves ur prob

Thanks a mil.

Lets say tomorrow afternoon after work or definitely on Wednesday. Will let you know.

Cool

:200sx_200sx: Ok guys been busy these days.

Thanx to Ridwaan. My SX is running good and on all 4 again ....for some time now .

It did turn out to be the Ignitor module.

And i have noticed the brand differs my old one was Mitsubishi and the one Ridwaan gave me is a Hitachi. Not sure if it is just different branding and same product/quality but it works and that is all that matters.

Awsome news. Yea don't worry about branding just depends on which supplier Nissan was using at the time your car was assembled
