    Issue with lambda and non lambda ecu.

    can somebody help.

    I have a uk Ca18det AUTO non lambda car, I have fitted an nistune ecu which was on a facelift lambda vehicle. When I start the car it runs for two seconds and then cuts out. My aem wideband reads 14.5. Is the ecu cutting out as there is no lambda signal?

    The car specification is identical to the nistune setup.

    Also is there a wiring difference between facelift models. Apart from the lambda.

    Thanks Chris.

    Shouldn't cut out due to the lambda.

    The ECU you've fitted is an Auto one?

    No I think it’s a manual one. Could that be my issue.

    So you have a manual or an Auto car now?? An auto car thats been manual converted?
    Isn't there a small amount of wiring needs to be done with the conversion?

    When the car starts and cuts out does it kinda splutter and die or just immediately stop?
    Have you checked fuel pump voltage and stuff??

    Pulled ECU fault codes?

    Car was an auto which I converted to manual. Runs ok on original ecu. Fitted nistune ecu will not run for more than a couple off seconds. I will check fuel pressure. Thanks.

    No dodgy old alarm/immobiliser that could be causing issues as well? or a turbo timer thats got screwed up.

    No nothing like that. When I swapped the ecu for the old one it worked fine.

    I have resolved the issue with cutting out, this was due to the fact there was no AFM setting on nistune. The issue I have now is car runs fine whilst driving but will go very rich at idle.

    The nistune is trying to run in closed loop ( looking for a lambda signal ) however i dont have a lambda sensor. Is there a way around this thanks

    you can turn off the lambda feedback inside nistune - though for the life of me can't specifically remember where it is in the new nistune software.

    I'm not sure if the feedback switches still display like they used to - I've not fiddled with Nistune for a long time but here it is:

    https://forum.nistune.com/viewtopic.php?t=2763

    this should cover it too:

    white '94 s13 200sx scrapped - mapped to 1.45bar. OS giken box, garrett GT2876R, 950cc injectors, ORC twin plate, nistune. 349bhp/325lbft @ 1.3bar CA18DET
    white '96 s13 180sx - type g with more kouki bits - RB25DET, GTR steel twin turbo conversion, RB26 crank & rods. 2.6L VVT twin turbo, SR20 OSG box, OSG STR twin plate clutch, Z32 ECU w/ nistune.

    current status: 180 a bit broken but to be repaired.
