New Auto Stalled

[DaviouS-2]

Hey pplz just bought myself a series 2 R33! Yes its auto.. but im too lazy to manual.

Girlfriend was out for a drive while i was at work, n stalled it on a speed bump?

I've never heard of this before any ideas?

[WazR32GTSt]

is it turbo? does it have an aftermarket BOV?

what does it idle at?

i suggest

- getting a service including spark plugs and fuel filter

- clean the AFM

do a serach for more info on the above

best of luck, and congrats on the purchase! don't fret the auto rocks! auto ftw!!

If you have a pod attached to your AFM, be sure to secure it if it aint secure you may need to open the AFM up and resolder the electrics.

WazR32GTSt also gave awesome info.

Hey Warren, Thanks, it's a completly stock turbo.

Idles at 1k when i first start it then drops to 600, then keeps going up and down for a minute then sits on 600. (no aircon or any electrics on)

Just took it for a drive, when i stop, then go to take off it allmost stalls. RPM needle drops out then boots back in and jolts the car... not smooth at all im kinda worried.

It had a oil change before i picked it up with new oil filter, and i filled her up with Vortex fuel.

Apparently the guy put Penright? oil in it he mentioned 15, and its semi synthetic as full synthetic lowers compression?... or so he says.

Anyway ill try a fuel filter and new spark plugs.

Cheers

Sounds like it could be an AFM issue.

Almost every R33 auto driver has heard of or personally encountered your problem.

I had the problem too and it stopped after I had the car tuned with a SAFC2.

On mine the revs sometimes drop to like 400 on take off.. but it always brings itself back up, ive never had any troubles as of yet anyway!!

hey mate

do you have the stock blow-off valve or an aftermarket one?

i suggest

- find out about your bov type, this may be the problem...

- adjust your throttle position sensor (TPS) - do a search for this info

- turn the idle up to about 800rpm when warm - there's a screw on the back of the intake manifold near the master cylinder... turn that to adjust idle. do a search again for more info

cheers,

Warren

my auto XE falcon used to stall if you pump'd the accelerator too hard... totally useless irrelevent info to this topic but
