lows_13 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Last night i was driving home and all of the sudden when i put my foot down to rev up 3rd gear the engine started to shudder like it was about to run out of gas (the was half a tank of gas in the car). The problem continued for a little bit, i was able to drive home by keeping the rev's under 3000rpm. I rev'd out 2nd gear a few times on the way back home, and everything seemed fine. Yesterday i took the atmo bov off and connected the standard plumback setup back on, so not sure whether that has anything to do with it. Also on the odd occasion, when i'm driving i'll put my foot down on the gas and for a split second theres the slightest of hesitation before the engine starts to rev up. Almost like one plug is fouled up. Any ideas of where to start? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118020-r32-engine-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

lows_13 Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 (edited) The car seemed to rev up ok when out of gear, but when i put it into first it started to play up again. Seems like the engine didn't want to be under load.

lows_13 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 I reckon thats the first course of action, change the fuel filter. Any recommendations after that?

Benno31 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 fuel filter then get your coilpacks tested while under load. it could even be a bad earth somewhere. best of luck Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118020-r32-engine-problem/#findComment-2171145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondhandninja Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I have had this issue due to the stock BOV recirc hose being split. could be the problem Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118020-r32-engine-problem/#findComment-2171186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lows_13 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) The rubber hose or metal pipe? I've only run into this problem now that i've put the standard BOV and plumbing on the car. What would happen if the standard BOV was to leaking under boost? (would it cause this problem) Edited May 16, 2006 by lows_13 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118020-r32-engine-problem/#findComment-2171214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WazR32GTSt Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 qwhat's it like on boost vs off boost? if its only bad on boost (like above 2500rpm), maybe the afm has a bad connection?

Sheriff Wan Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Sounds like fuel pump. It wouldnt hurt to look at your coil packs etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118020-r32-engine-problem/#findComment-2172700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, I had similar problems.....the car would be fine during th drive and on the odd occassion, it would shudder and would not respond to the throttle. I've got a multi display screen in car and I can see when this happens, there is no fuel injection at all! Had it checked out and it appeared that the AFM sensor had fouled up due to oil mist build up from the K&N panel filter....at least that's what I've been told...had that cleaned up and problem seem to be gone.

lows_13 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Same thing happen again when going for a drive, only occured once in the hour i was out. I've cleaned out my afm last month, i might give it a second clean.

iandawsonwa Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Yer it would come and go and then some times idle realy low to and sometimes run fine. I also thought it mite have been a miss but when i checked the plugs and coil packs thay all seemed fine. you should change your fuel filter every 60,000 any way Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118020-r32-engine-problem/#findComment-2175482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lows_13 Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 I reckon i'll change the fuel filter, then fuel pump. Hopefully the problem will be fixed after that, not sure what to do if those two options fail.

B0oStEr Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 It could be a lot of things but my money is on the afm. The pins are soldered to the circuit board. These solder joints get broken by wriggling the plug to disconnect it.
