mccartney11 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hi, I did a 5efte conversion on my ep70 and I can't seem to get the engine to fire first time without easy start? Once it starts it'll run, but just won't kick without it....is this an injector issue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Could be a number of things... have you checked/set the static timing? (bridge out the two pins on the diagnostic plug to lock timing, set to 10 degrees btdc)ECU coolant temp sensor?TPS?ICV? etc... unplug (or change if you have spares) one sensor at a time and see if anything changes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 to me sounds like ecu water temp sensor faulty / bad connection to sensor and our engines will hardly start when that happens our ecus really rely on that sensor on cold start Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mccartney11 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Coolant temp sensor plug is broken so that could be my issue I'll pick one up and try it then go from there so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Coolant temp sensor plug is broken so that could be my issue I'll pick one up and try it then go from there so that will; be it so that sensor is a must for ecu cold start Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 If you put the ecu into diagnostic mode you will like find an error for the ECT sensor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mccartney11 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Changed sensor still won't fire first kick, it'll start and run if I spray fuel/easy start into throttle body tho and it'll run fine, although when it's cold if I press accelerator it dies down and nearly cuts out unless I tap accelerator lightly to bulld up revs any ideas?
