Hey All

just wondering is someone can help i have a miss at idle and every now and then i get a miss while driving and the CD player resets itself.

the car is an rb20det 4 door skyline with

emanage

r33 turbo

FMIC

HKS SSQV

splitfire coilpacks

ngk spark plugs gapped at .8

i'm not so worried about the miss at idle but it is the cut out while driving, it doesn't happen all the time maybe once in a 1 hour drive or if i drive for like 15mins leave the car for a bit and then drive 15mins home it might do it. the car seems to cut out howerver head lights stay on but CD player will stop, i have had a look at the earth to the battery thinking it might be this, it is not the best connection but has been like this for a while, it will be fixed up this week sometime. the battery itself is now 2 years old and has gone flat a number of times (i dont drive the car that much) however i will charge the battery just fine when driving. my thoughts are the earth however i can wiggle it and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

oh yeah when the car cuts out it kicks back in about 1-2secs later and all is ok again

please let me know your thoughts

Cheers

do you have an alarm/immobilizer? turbo timer? any thing that could be messing around with the wire that hold your car in the "ON" mode? something that could be bumped or pulled for a second and then reconnecting (dodgy connection). that could cause what you are explaining.

the car does have a slight whining noise but that seems to be coming more from the power steering pump i will double check this. i do have a turbo timer and alarm however i have check both of those and have resoldered them to make sure of that.

would the alternator still give 14 volts if it was having a problem??
