Hi mate, Firstly thank you for your reply. Appreciate it very much. I am not much of a mechanic and not sure what the air filter I use is. However, i remember once a mechanic banged the air filter with his hands (the mass air filter in the engine) and the car kinda started smooth. But the sensors read no errors.

Hi Guys, Firstly, I apologise for acting so desperate, honestly I am... I have loved Skylines my whole life, saved up a long time to buy a non turbo R24 25GT on my P plates... I will stop boring you guys and get to the problem: (I am sorry in advance if I have posted in the wrong area also) Problem: MOST of the times I slow down (while braking), or coming to a stop, the REVS in my car bounce, and the engine tries to stay alive, it fails, and the car stalls. I can restart the car in one go which is followed by BLACK smoke (which I guess is indicating excess fuel burning). This will only stay for a few seconds. When I take off, there is a bit of a uneven acceleration. When I accelerate, no issue, just when I am braking or slowing down, revs bounce up and down, car stalls. Mechanic Actions and Repairs: The mechanic did the following (I did SELF research and understood he did as much as he could) 1. Repaired Vacum Leaks 2. Cleaned Throttle Body 3. Replaced Choke 4. Adjusted Throttle Sensor 5. ECU scan = No Errors 7. Fuel Pump checked fine 8. Fuel pressure at idle and running is fine 9. Fuel Filter cleaned (SENSORS READ FINE, BUT SOMEONE SUGGESTED THIS MIGHT BE THE ISSUE and needs replacement) 10. Air Mass Filter cleaned For 3 days it was fine, and again the car started to act up as I was driving around on the 4th day. Mechanic again had a look, adjusted the throttle sensor a bit and everyone is clueless. I am a student...and I work full time.... without a car, I need to take unpaid hours off to attend classes... I would be extremely grateful if someone can point me in the right direction. I did all self research and now just lost and frustrated. Thank you in advance.
