hi all, lately my car has stalled a few times and sometimes, while driving, shut off then come back on..

i had a prob similar to this a while ago and diagnosed it as afm, i fixed it up as the pins came off solder. but last time when it was afm the idle would go crazy and stall all the time.

this time it doesnt, it will shut off or stall maybe once a trip and the idle would sit perfectly on around 650-750..

any suggestions?? does an old fuel filter cause any of this??

cheers

sounds like afm is gawn

mine would do exactly the same

some days perfect, other days felt like violent misfire

if you got a powerfc, graph your afm signal and see if it drops to 0 volts

mm havent checked my switch on the clutch.. but yea i think it was afm.. time to get a new one i think.. after i cleaned it out resoldered the pins inside and made sure all the wires were fine, the car ran like normal.. but every now and again it acts up as if its not even connected.

thanks for the help

btw why would i check the switch on my clutch pedal??

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
