Vt V6 no injector pulse has spark
Hi all,
As above has spark no injectors. This is a conversion in a Mazda Bravo so has the ECU BCM disabled with a chip.
I have tried another ECU (moved the chip over) same issue. Injectors click with 12V applied. I have another DFI module but not sure if this is any good either. New CAS installed. Had a gas conversion removed so maybe the way that disconnects the pump fuel is causing an issue?
This issue has been intermittent for more than 6 months, where when cold would start and run all good. Then park up and try to start hot and no go. Wait a while and then off we go.
Think thats all.
Not sure where to go from here?

Re: Vt V6 no injector pulse has spark
My first guess is CAS but you have replaced it. With a new one? I hope so. Does the fuel pump prime up when cranking when the engine cuts out? If my guess is correct try pouring cold water on it when the engine cuts out and if it goes you found the problem.

New CAS.
Fuel pump primes when key is turned to start. I have shorted out the fuel pump relay so pump stays on and it still will not start.
The engine no longer starts hot or cold so not sure if water is going help.

Re: Vt V6 no injector pulse has spark
Try the DFI if you have a spare as the DFI controls the timing when cranking until the engine hits 400rpm (IIRC) and then the PCM takes over control of the ignition timing.

Re: Vt V6 no injector pulse has spark
Are the injectors getting power and do they stay powered while cranking
If Its Got Gas Or Ass Count Me In.if it cant be fixed with a hammer you have an electrical problem

The injectors have power, however I have not checked if they stay powered. Will check now.

Ok so I put back the original DFI that I replaced a few months ago when trying to sort this intermittent issue. Same result. Question is do I have 2 faulty dfi units? I definitely have spark does the dfi stop injectors firing?

Re: Vt V6 no injector pulse has spark
Or a wiring issue. The DFI controls the ignition timing during cranking but If I understand it correctly, it still sends a signal to the PCM that it uses for the fuel injection timing. The PCM needs the signal from all 3 timing sensors 18x and 3x from the CAS and the cam sensor to determine the proper sequential timing sequence position. Without the cam sensor signal the system is supposed to default back to batch fire mode.series8rx7 wrote:Ok so I put back the original DFI that I replaced a few months ago when trying to sort this intermittent issue.

Re: Vt V6 no injector pulse has spark
No I don’t have any data log ability.
Wiring issue is a possibility but I am not sure where to start?
Haven’t tried a CAM sensor but I have read it should start without this.
