could anybody please tell me whats wrong with my car!
i used to be the proud owner of a great R34 skyline but now it's just a pain in my ass. this problem started up by just being a slight drop in revs when pulling away from stand still but now it's so bad that when i put my foot on the accelerator, the revs just hit the deck causing the car to sputter and in some cases die all together. when the motor does cut out it takes atleast 20 turns of the key to start it again. obviously this is not exactly what you'd expect from a rev happy RB motor.
this problem occurs in neutral and all gears, the motor is fine at idle (usual 1000rpm), the idle is as smooth as the day it rolled of the factory floor, engine could idle all day but it's only once you push on the accelerator that the revs head south fast
these are my cars specs and the things i've already checked,
R34 GT4:
1998
non turbo RB25
4wd
original 60 000KMS on the clock
i've owned the car for 2 yrs and i'm the only owner of the car since it landed in oz
Mods to date:
2.5 inch cat back exhaust
K&N pod filter
Spitfire coil packs (originals gave out the week after i bought the car)
this car is pretty stock standard and that includes the ride height
Things already checked:
catalitic converter - not collapsed
spark plugs - brand new bosch platinium
oil - new bottle of motuls finest when changing spark plugs
pod filter - cleaned whilst changing spark plugs
gearbox - working 100%
engine management - diagnostic computer was run on the car by a professional auto electrician and there is no check engine light on in the dash once the car has been started
any sugestion on what to check next before this ends up costing me a kidney on the black market to fix it
