I Can't FIX my 3000gt vr4 DREAM CAR | CPS, PTU, Coils, and ECU inspections

[@RainRoofingSolar-dy3mv]

I bought my 300gt vr4 for 3 grand and it just "needed a timing belt". Three years and $15,000 later, it works. Timing belt snapped while the car was moving so every exhaust valve was bent and nicked up the cylinder wall in the engine. I hope your car is running at this point. Good Luck

[@MrAcer4]

I just bought one 3k as well 😅😅

[@j4npa28]

damn, dont give up, next time it will surely run with the new ECU

[@PhilWithSuper]

I'm sure hoping so!

[@sigvision4189]

Nice thorough video on your troubleshooting process

[@josealonso6568]

I own a 92 Dodge Stealth RT DOHC AUOTO NA since december 1999 had once in 2000 a no ignition issue, ignition fuze was burnt, easy fix, car TCM went bad sometime between 2001 and 2007 when storaged in Mexico, drove back to Vegas via San Antonio in limp mode(i had no clue TCM was not working) I replaced with a used TCM with different PN it did work for 4 years, one day while driving I heard a thumb noise from the transmission, first thought I had the TCM again... tried diferent used TCMs from Ebay none worked. Again storaged the vehicle and bought a 1998 astro to get around from 2016 to 2022 the car wasnt driven, just started engine every few weeks, I looked more closely and found a wire cut that connects the Transmission to the module, spliced and have my 92 staelth running and shifting as it should. A weak cable got cut due to engine vibration and other mechanics that worked in it before. Now am replacing both cylinder heads with a pair am restoring, am painting the whole car too. Valve seals made my car to smoke. My astro pigtail connector to ignition coil was also in good shape but loose contact with the coil when transmission shifted from 2 to 3rd and killed the spark, took me months to figure that one out. I believe your car has a easy to fix issue but is hidden somewhere within the wire harness

Have you checked your compression ? Check Behind the gear on the end of the crank, there's a metal timing plate, it's spins through the crank sensor, I've had one come lose, no start 😉

[@MrAcer4]

Alot of times when timing jumps you bend the valves because of the motor design. So a motor swap may be needed kr top end rebuild

[@wheels-n-tires1846]

The valves bend but don't wreck the pistons. The stems are small, so the guides almost always survive too. So fresh valves, head gaskets, and new timing stuff gets you back on the road pretty cheaply. Plus you're not taking risk on another unknown engine...👍

Fuel pump and filter pls…

[@jandkwhite6459]

absolutely. maybe check those engine mounts eventually that thing was movin!

[@PhilWithSuper]

@@jandkwhite6459 Getting fuel but I'll need to check the filter and will probably do that after the ECU, and just replaced the engine mounts last video, but thanks for suggesting!

Good effort that capacitor is shot When do you get it back and what’s next? 2G Mitsubishi Eclipse SoCal

[@kimkell7009]

I know you are a smart man. Just from the angle of the photograph, the timing belt looks like the tensioner isn't tied enough. Sorry, don't mean to point out things mine. I had a heck of a time getting a tight enough. I had to buy. But mitsubishi timing belt tool. Good luck I bought mine not running. It took me 2 months. There was a broken wire. On the choke, good luck again.

[@kimkell7009]

My timing belt kept warning to slip one too I have noticed on many KZbin videos. These carbs have a difficult time starting. My car starts in a 1/2 a second. After you turn the key, it doesn't even crank over. It just Lights up and starts. They have in the fuel rail. It holds the pressure. So what fires write up when I did my timing? Build the first time it cranked and cranked and cranked and didn't wanna start. It did start it, just didn't want to. And it was because the timing but was loose. Anyway, good luck.

[@michaeladams7505]

Did the new ecu work? I have almost exact same issues as you with my 92 and just sent out my ecu to be refurbished.

[@quillerthediller]

Have you fixed this yet? Was it timing related, either spark timing (leads in the wrong order on the coils) or cam timing. because I hear it trying to fire but back into the intake. Ive Just done a Cambelt on one of these, Im a mechanic from New Zealand our are called Mitsubishi GTO are RHD and most are imports from Japan. Anyway I know the cambelt on these are very difficult, Like top tier pain in the ass, so I wouldn't blame you if you have at a tooth or 2 out. Also remember to tension the cambelt tensioner before you pull the pin on the hydraulic tensioner or you will have too much slack in the belt. anyway hope this helps

[@kimkell7009]

I'm watching your video I haven't gotten to the end yet. But it sounds like your timings off. Man when it cranks over rut quick rot rock click.

[@turbo_brian]

Lol I'm having issues with my 3/s and I started the other way (replaced ecu first). Gotta work through the ptu and coils first. Didn't think about the cps tho. Could also be your cam angle sensor.

[@turbo_brian]

Also fyi when these ecus go they can take out the idle speed controller too.

[@PhilWithSuper]

@@turbo_brian Okay thanks for the heads up!

[@MrAcer4]

Bro you're saying maybe?? Lol trouble shoot and be sure. To check for fuel hook a fuel pressure gauge and see. Its a yes and no and saves money. Lol. But also bro ignition coil may be an issue best of luck to you

[@randalceniceros8157]

Spray fuel starter in Throttle body see if will start ?

[@beeftestolone]

mine is crank no start aswell. i have absolutlety no clue whats wrong with it

[@beeftestolone]

also, where did you get the sensor from for only $25?

[@aarefalali1775]

crank poistion sensor is ur problem there is no good aftermarket brand that i have used and worked ! only OEM new or buy used oem and you will thank me later

check the timing

[@mitchnathan8725]

Thanks for the video i have a 94 mitsu 3000 gt i have replaced everything you can think of and there is no power when you step on the gas !! any thoughts??? would help thanks Mitch

[@enriquecampa921]

I have the same issue right I think it’s a vacuum leak

[@KENN00007]

Swap to 2jz please...

[@PhilWithSuper]

Haha that would be cool, but I think I have another car that needs a 2j more than this one ;)

[@turbo_brian]

Honestly, the 6g72 is just as good as a 2jz up to about 600 hp. Given you have a 94 engine it's not worth it unless you're going to go insane with the build. I don't even think a 2jz would fit in that bay without converting to rwd and chopping up the firewall drastically

[@bawxofchawclets4836]

I am so glad I didn’t buy a 3000gt to learn how to work on cars instead I got a way WAY easier car to work on a clapped out 1997 rav4. Just dropped the subframe and putting new junkyard engine in it as we speak.

[@emmaleeschroeder-smith9914]

I have a 97 and had similar issue does yours have its alarm system still ?

[@PhilWithSuper]

I believe it does, but since I'm getting spark and fuel, I don't think that's what's stopping it from running, since usually both of those are cut when the alarm system is enabled

[@emmaleeschroeder-smith9914]

@@PhilWithSuper on mine it the alarm intermittently failed and caused cut outs randomly, but I also rewarched ur video and I know that you had switched coil packs to see if the miss fire moved , I have also found with my car that I couldn't do that either and when I replaced the coil packs I had to replace both at the same time the dealership advised that just replacing on side of the coil packs can still cause misfire issue and that it best to replace both at the same time iam not saying that's ur issue or it has to be done that way but when I did replace both at once it help my issue It Def seems like a spark issue more than anything since it wants to start but won't obviously 2 cylinders are not firing and they are also know for needing extra grounding on the motor aswell I look forward to what you find out

[@emmcee476]

Was this ever resolved? lol

[@manuelpompa8173]

belt

[@That1CanadianGuy]

Just by the way the engine is turning over the timing is not right. Recheck all your marks again but you might be 180 offf

[@PhilWithSuper]

I'll give it a look, but the coils send a redundant spark, so even if it's off 180 it would still spark, but definitely something to check again
