Car Stalling

[Modena]

Ever since i got a GFB Hybrid BOV installed with a pod it stalls... very frustrating as it also does it on the freeway.

I have plumbed back the GFB (has full plumback feature) but the car still stalls... sometimes you even try to rev it and it just wont go past 3 000rpm... very annoying and can feel backfires (this was on full atmo setting).

I will take off the GFB BOV tomor and fit my stock bov on... I hope this will fix it up... if not then perhaps the pod can also cause the car to stall??? its unshielded... so may need to fit the stock air box on.

Can anyone shine some light on this?

When I had my 33 GTST, it used to stall after i installed a HKS SSQ BOV.

So I'm assuming once you remove it you'll be alright.

weird.

I got HKs SSQ bov just installed yesterday.

no stalling or idling funy,

Just make sure you block off the blumpback hose tite, no leak, and make sure the vacumm line to the BOV is tite and secure, and all adjustment on the BOV should be tite.

those factors caused idle funy for my BOV.

but all sweet after that all sorted.

they sometimes stall because when when they vent to the atmosphere there's air that goes past the afm but doesn't get to the engine. But you said that you switched it to plumback. So therefore it shouldn't be stalling, I'd be looking at a leak somewhere perhaps?

But yeah, good idea would be to put the stocker back on, and then see what happens. Then you can see if it's the BOV or the piping...e

Yep, auto. A pro put it on. Anyway I took the aftermarket BOV off today and put on the stock BOV and then drove around the block... still stalled... at low rpm, around 40 km/h. Then we discnnected the battery for 5 mins to reset the ECU... all good, then I fanged it past 7000 RPM and stalled shortly after... I then drove for a few hours and no problems what so ever... except when i got home just before, I set the turbo timer on 3 mins and the car stalled after 2 mins on turbo timer... really wierd!!

I dont know what to do, maybe its the pod also? Its unshielded! She never stalled before I put the BOV and pod on... whats a good way to tell if there is a leak... i think maybe a tune or ?

Ill see how the car will behave over the next few days... then if still stalling i may put the stock air filter on... or get the guys to check it out at the shop.

hmmm tis weird. my pods unsheilded also i should add.

could be a dirty/faulty AFM

could be a dirty/faulty AFM

Any idea how much they are to replace or fix?

Also can you tell me what the acronym stands for?

[RBFIRE]

AFM = air flow meter

its near ur air filter,

its the 1 that have meshs, with a plug connected to,

try to pull out while the car is idling,

see if it does anything strange.

could be ur have a leak somewhere,

maybe a vacumm hose is not connected.

unshield pod wont contribute to car stalling~

air flow meter, mine used to stall aswell and i replaced the afm it fixed it.

but dont assume its that.

this is a common problem with a zillion different reasons as to why it happens!!

Hummm.... I got a 34 GT-t Tiptronic, I also have a GFB Hybrid BOV, I have had it installed for about 15 months, it has been all good till now.

However recently I have also noticed my idle is going really low too, its stalled twice in the last 2 weeks, I am taking mine to nissan so they can connect it up to their computer to see if theres anything else wrong with the car. just as a precaution.

I checked all my hoses and couldent find nothing....

Let us know how u go if u do find the problem, likewise ill let u know wat Nissan say.

I have a GReddy Type-S atmo BOV on my auto.

My car used to stall a fair amount - everyone said it was the BOV but even when I plumbed it back it still still stalled.

Fast forward to getting a SAFC installed - no stalls now and I'm still running an atmo BOV.

Im going to clean my coils and check my AFM this Saturday.

Well keep you posted!

Ok checked the coils and they are silver inside... no dirty stuff!! So obviously not the coils!

Gonna check fuel filter, afm and fuel pump today...

Also went for a drive yesterday doing 60-70 Km/h without boosting past 2.5 K and the car was fine...

Check your diagnostics first on your ECU. Usually if its an electronic fault then it will tell you. Do this first before you fiddle around with everything.

[stormlcc]

Usually it's the AFM, get it out and spray it with WD40 (those lubricant that u use to loosen stuck screws), spray at the middle part of the AFM which is like a little door hanging with two thin lines, and make sure you wipe the nets (exterior) clean. plug it in and test your car, if still stall try changing with your friend's AFM (must be same engine, you should know this right?) and test your car again, if it doesn't stall that means you must get a new one. If it's not the AFM, check your ECU (exchange with friend's and see). If it's not either of these, check your fuel pump

Before you go blazing away with WD40, have a quick read of http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=115172

Got my car back from nissan, everything was ok, had 6 or so fault codes? duh.... anyway i adjusted the idle with that tutorial i posted previously, it is all perfect now.

Although i might clean the AFM too...
