Diagnose This (x 2)

[Spook's_Skyline]

ok, one of our headlights only lights up when it feels like it, but if you beep the horn, usually it will come on?

what would cause that?

also, car has 150k with original coil packs, had iridium plugs that have caused no problem for 50k at 200 odd rwkw

car has just started randomly hesitating, usually at cruise, havent seen it do it at high rpm yet

time to start looking for replacement coilpacks? or could it be something else

nothing has changed on car in 20k

turn key on, engine revs just drop to stall immediately

Don't know about your headlight problem. As for spark, does your engine have the igniter module on the top of the engine?

[Spook's_Skyline]

its a series 1 r33

dont know what the igniter module looks like

it is raining as well

i had the same problem with my headlight, mine wouldnt work, then when i slammed the door it would work..

it ended up dieing and not working at all so i went on a hunt to find out why and it wasnt getting any power so instead of stripping the loom really far back i did the dodgey and hooked it up to my parkers... seriously who drives around with only parkers on anyway haha

If you have spark try fuel filter or pump might be dead.

ok, bit more info about the hesitation/dying

cars been at shop for the last two days

of course when its in shop, behaves perfectly, no dramas at all

had diagnostic guy come out and check everything, no faults, coils look ok

mechanic seems to think that afm mite be faulty?

problem has only ever occurred at light load, not on boost

cruising at 110 on highway, and then cruising at 60km/h the other nite

im looking at changing my afm to a bosch z32 anyway, so mite give that a try

fuel pump is a reasonably new walbro, probably 12 months old

havent had any issues with it that i know of since install

i am watching the pfc hc whenever we drive anywhere now to see if something funny happens with the afm reading when this occurs
