My car for some reasons has stalling problems after hitting boost when its warmed up.

It has stalled, then when I turned it back on stalls again, then on second time it starts but at times when I gave it some gas it splutters and then plays.

THis only happens when I rev it past 2000 RPM, I drove below 2000 rpm yesterday and didnt play up at all.

What could this problem be??

how old are your plugs? what type and gap are they? does it only stall when you are decelerating? if so, there is a good chance its your plugs. mine would stall after giving it a bit of stick then slowed down. put new plugs in and went away.

very much doubt it is the bov. seen plenty of skylines with atmo bovs that run fine. most common problem with atmo bovs is people put them on then don't tension up the spring so they leak. and when they do run rich on gear changes it is only for a split second. they don't constantly run rich.

stock car...

spark plugs have been changed ot new iridium NGK... coil packs r fine too. AFM is clean.

no idea...

i think it may something to do with the fuel system (fuel lines, fuel pump)... thought maybe u guys could chime in with something else...

getting same prob myself at times - seems ok and revs are stable (but higher than normal - idling at 1100rpm ish) but after accelerating and using boost - come to slow down and it can stall here n there.

only thing I can think of personally for mine is AFM on way out as other owners I know had similar trouble >_<

could also be idle control valve. we did some 'tuning' on my car and the next day idle was all over the shop. first it would idle high, then it would stall, then it would hunt. ended up taking the idle control valve off and giving it a good clean. sorted it out for me.

I put money on faulty AFM.

A mates car did the same thing. Started then stalled after one or two seconds. I unplugged his AFM, then started it with a bit of throttle in there, and he limped it home. It would cut out over 2000rpm (exactly), but it made it. New AFM and it runs perfectly.

idle control valve is at the back of the motor on the drivers side. it sits at the end of the plenum at the top. it has 2 pipes coming out of it, 1 of them underneath it. it has 2 plugs on it. if you look at it from the drivers side you will see the idle srew (about 8mm in diameter and takes a flat blade screw driver... i think) it is 3 screws to get off, the 2 plugs and 2 hoses. the bottom hose is a bit of a pain to get on and off.

to clean it you need carby cleaner, and optional is some pipe cleaner. just give it a good spraying. i took the little motor bit off so i could clean it completely. then when you put it back on you may have to adjust your idle, unless you get your screw back in the same spot.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
