Hi guys

I have a Nissan Patrol and when i hit boost it will spool quickly like normal for about .5sec and then just die complety like a huge of nothing in a way. Then when you let it idle it will be idling and with constant missing and coughs and stuff. When u give it a quick rev off idle has a miss also.

I changed the spark plugs this afternoon with no gain at all.

I closed up the garage and turned the lights off and i couldn't see one like spark from any of the leads.

Then took No.1 lead off and put a screwdriver in it and and put it against some metal and it has a nice blue spark.

I really have no idea what to look at next ..

car runs striaght LPG thru Gas Research and has a Tb42 motor which is a 4.2L straight six.

Not sure if it's fuel or elec or motor or turbo i got no idea.

Thanks for any help guys/girls!

Rick.

hey mate,

if u put ur foot down and it gets to 0 boost, does the car just start to splutter and not go anywhere? also when it idles does it konk out? and one more thing...when u rev it...does t shit load of fuel smoke come out the exahust?

coz i had these issues, i changed the air flow meter and it was perfect. im not sure what anyone else thinks..but since they havene replied, then giv it a go! its got to be it.

hope this helps

    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
