Ok ive tried about everything, on my 1988 4x4 pickup. This thing misses and carries on, and doesn't have any power whatsoever. Its been like this since I bought it last year, i dont drive it much because of this.
So far, New cap, rotor, plugs, wires, coil, air filter, Heres somethings i noticed, the AVI is rusted apart, (can it be bypassed) Theres a doo-hickey, that plugs into the coil that about 2" x 1.5" and has cooling fins on it, the bottom plate of it is rusted heavy, I dont even know what it is, to order it.
It smells like its running rich, but the plugs looked good, Compression on 1,3,5 is 115lbs, 2, 4 6 is 78 to 90lbs,

when i fitted the VG into my datsun i had loads of issues getting it running, they where down to afm and fuel pressure comeing from the tank,

Have you ran a diagnostic on the car? see if it shows anything up?

How does it do the self diagnostic? when i turn the key on sometime it chimes 8 times, and sometimes 9. Where does the scanner plug in, were going to try that on monday, but haven't located the connection yet.

hi mate

you don;t need any equipment other than a screw driver to do a diagnostic on a VG30E, pm me you email address and i'll send you the pdf of the engine management system, It's about 4mg zipped,
It has all the info you should need (it is from a 300zx but i have found its the same on all vg30E engines)
