Guys need help..

Driving home tonight i put my foot down a LITTLE bit.. car felt like it was about 2 stall, it was if all power had died to the car.. Was thinking afm? but while car was running i tried fiddling with wires n nothing happened at all? Any help please.. It did it about 3 times on the way home for no more than a few seconds, i gave it a big bootfull n it was fine? help help help.. I got no idea cause i havent really experience any problems similar or read about this sorta thing happening.. please if anyone knows wat i should check or wat the problem is, post it up!

Thanks,

Steve.

could be afm on the way, but could also be fuel pump or module, do u have and safc?, i've seen em f**k up and ppl change afm but no avail, all sorts of shit to consider just depends on circumstances, what revs was it dying at was the car hot or cold, did it die tottally or was it popping and farting, you can bridge the wires under the dash inside the fuse panel lid for OBD and use the computer to tell u the fault code, if the afm has a problem the computer will have stored it as a fault code, otherwise u might want your mechanic to put a fuel pressure gauge on your line and check the pressure. good luck

No safc, however car is going in for a tune in about 2weeks and installing aftermarket computer or safc2.. So hopefully that helps..

Did take it 4 a drive 2 get dinner n car didnt fail once on me, under load in 4th at 40ks.. was sweet.. under load in 2,3rd gear full boost n car was fine.. So f*ks me wat it is.. Car was hot when it screwed up to.. Didnt really make a popping or farting noise, just more of a dying noise like u stalled the car or turned it off while driving.. really weird.. im going 2 go take the afm off n have a look @ it along with the wiring.. But thanks for the reply mate.

Do you have an atmo-venting BOV? Its probably not that but its an easy source of a similar stalling problem to eliminate.

in all honesty mate, split fires play up too u know, ive heard of alot of incidents were this happens, if u have a mate or the original ones lying around just try it... coil packs have a funy way or stuffing around... u not losing nething but excluding things 1 by one. up to u neways.

i know mate, its random tho.. it doesnt just cut out all the time or when its just hot or wateva? i mean if i warm the car up.. after a few mins it cuts out n stalls.. :s However when i leave work n warm car up its never done it? Figure that out.. then some days it wont even splutter/back off n i dont understand why not. If it was doing it all the time it would make it easier 2 determine wat problem is cause i could just swap/plug n play with the coils 4 example.. but the chances of it actually doing it after i swap or do it when i want it 2 are bare minimum.. so annoying

it will be the AFM.

what you should have done is this..

bought one of these..

taken your AFM off like this..

Then let the 2 join in holly sprayamony.

test it out.

if that doesn't work, you should have gone to dicksmith and bought one of these..

and some of this

and some of this..

Then you should have done a search on SAU for the words SOLDER+AFM

Here's one I prepared earlier

I would say check your piping for an air leak/loose piping aroud the air flow meter.....

is the afm positioned on the cooler piping or on your intake??

I had a similar problem with my R31 back in the day..... turned out to be an air leak....

when you put your foot down theres alot of air rushing through.... so even if your pipes are loose the afm will register some sort of air flow.

on idle - there isnt much air rushing through so if the air is escaping somewhere through the piping before it gets to you afm (thus not enough air for the afm to register) your engine will stall......

just another thing to check.... good luck with solving it
