I'm driving normally and my car just switches off?

Today was the 2nd time it has happend, I was entering the freeway and i just gave it a bit.. and it started jerking.. like it was about to switch off.

while i was going through normal suburbial streets .. it just switched off while i was driving at a really low speed.

initially i thought, it may have overheated, because it's been hot these past few days in melbourne.

There are no leaks, temp gauge is normal though.

could it be the fuel pump not working properly? i just got a 040 installed a few months ago.

hit me me some ideas guys.

thanks.

yeah check the cas... it may make a rattle noise on idle if its stuffed.. will sound like a stuffed idler beraring. if the as is stuffed, when it reaches a certain temp it will shut off. does it have trouble starting after it has stalled..?

mate u r in luck coz i have an r32 gts-t with the same problem when i first bought it, you need to buy an AIR FLOW METER, that would fix ur problem gauranteed 100%, DONT BUY SECOND HAND THEY WILL DO THE SAME AFTER A WHILE< found out the hard way but when i bought a brand new one the car has been since :)

    • I love my R32 interior but then I also love the generic 90's nissan vibe from R33s/S14s/Pulsars etc 100%
    • I have seen this happen in cases like the R33 GTR where they eliminated the ATTESA actuator rod retaining clip to save 5 cents. Parts diagram references it, the actual part doesn't. Also if you try and look up the specific retaining clip on an R33 GTR it resolves to nothing. But it exists on R32 GTRs as I discovered a week or two ago.

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
