My R33 Gts Keeps Stalling

[skyl1ne r33]

i have started to have a bit of trouble with my r33 stalling. it smells like it running rich and when u stop at set of lights it just cut out. i can start it angin with no trouble.has any one herd of this problem be for or may no wats wrong?

[lingeringsoul]

yes.....get rid of that atmo venting bov/hekticity and you should be fine....othre wise clean the afm.

manuel or auto.

my auto did that turned out it was the fuel filter, dont ask me how that works but mine was also caused when i was turning a corner and my power steering overloaded the moter due to something to do with teh fuel. as i said it does not make sense but it stopped stalling

[GMan]

yea the most common issue is with the atmospheric bov as lingeringsoul stated. just put your standard plumb back bov back on or alternatively you could also get an electronic idling stabiliser kit so when you are off throttle your revs will ease down rather then completly dropping

[sleek3]

yea it could be the BOV....i had this problem when i put a HKS super sequential in because my stock one had problems....i now have a GFB Stealth FX BOV which is fully ajustable and this fixed my stallling problems.....where i have it set to 1/4 atmo and 3/4 plumb back...if you are after a BOV i suggest the GFB is the best option if you dont have the stock one...

Put the stock BOV back on.

Thats intresting i never really had alot to do with turbo'd cars therefore still learning i would have thought the air idle motor to be faulty. Like jumed up or the ldle need ajusting. But when i think about it now a full atmosphere BOV would drop the revs quickly. Is there any other little querks i need to look out for with the r33 gtst's

[skyl1ne r33]

the car it manual and compleatly stock

[Primordial]

Well yeah sort of..

The BOV dumps air out of the intake pipe, AFTER it's been registered by flowing past the air sensor. So when you dump air out of the intake the ECU still dumps the same amount of fuel in (expecting the air thats gone atmo, to come into the engine!). This creates the wrong air/fuel mixture, so when the revs drop to idle its not generating enough "bang" to keep the engine running on idle because its got a really rich mixture

[skyl1ne r33]

that would explain why it would clear after i give it some boost of ligths

[skyl1ne r33]

i just have to live with it realy then coz i havent changed any thing on the car yet

Oh sorry.. i missed the part where you said the car was completely stock. If there isnt an atmo BOV, then you can try cleaning your AAC valve..

There is a DIY on how to do it here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Di...nd-t110431.html

If you've got some basic tools you can do it yourself pretty easily. Often a dirty/sticky AAC valve can cause idling issues..

- clean afm

- clean aac valve

- re-set ecu

Your car shouldnt be running highly rich if its just stock!!

Unless you got exhaust and bosted it up a bit (if you still call that stock?)

Otherwise check theres no leaks in hoses etc.

Car runs fine when you drive it? Or does it hestitate while giving it some?

Check your air flow meter...

thanks i give it a go 2day car drives fine problems just wen stop i gt 3.5inc bk box thats it

[McDrifto]

tried putting in a new fuel filter?

maybe your bov is broken?

take it to a workshop to check your timing.
