Car Cuts Out & When Stopping It Dies Completely

[dori34]

car is being weird atm guys.

sometimes it would just cut out when accelerating & when coming to a complete stop, it would die. id try to start it right away but it would just keep dying. if i give it some gas it would struggle to rev and just die as soon as i let go of the pedal.

if i leave it off for 5-10minutes then i can turn it on and it would be normal again.

when it first happened, i noticed my TPS was cracked cause of my strut brace hitting it, so i thought that was the issue so i changed the whole throttle body unit. but it still occurs.

i thought it was my fuel pump that was faulty so i bought a brand new walbro but it still happens.

any thoughts ??

Assuming you have a turbo, it is most likely your Air Flow Meter playing up. Simillar thing happened to my r32 gtr and it took three mechanics to work out what was going on !! Turned out to be a bit of oil or dirt inside one of the airflow meters. Replaced both and havent had any trouble since. hope this helps.

fuel filter replaced?

fpr?

injectors / plugs?

[dori34]

changed fuel filter, plugs are fine - im pretty sure its not a fuel problem.

fuel pump relay?

[dori34]

im gonna rip open the afm and check for any dry cracks in the solder joints...

hopefully i find some cracks that will cause it to cut out "intermittently"
