Hey people,

Have myself a large problem, well large for me :D

When the car starts it will run for about 5 seconds then stall, if you increase the revs and hold at a certain level the car will still stall!!!

has new spark plugs, and starts fine!

bear in mind that the car has not been started in 3 months was wondering a few things, would this be caused by:

A) removing the stock solinoid eg unplugging it from ecu

B) fuel filter drying up and not allowing fuel through

C) dirty airflow meter - how do it clean?

D) suggestions please

thanks fellas, dying to drive her again :D

sounds like its something that directly affects the way air/fuel is measured.

so i'd say maybe a leaking inatake hose that is causing a loss of air, or a dirty AFM (do a search for how to clean), or an afm that's unplugged or something?

does it blow a puff of black smoke when u start it?

If the car has an Alarm system that runs with its own Battery and has the power to cut of Fuel then u need to buy a brand new car battery then connect it to a charger and charge it for about an hour to give power to the alarm battery...

This is a common problem with Those kind of alarms....

Otherwise you could have a mechanical problem of some sort..Get it checked out

yeah, just got a new car battery as well!!!

i know what your saying though, but it wouldn't start at all would it?

this thing runs for a couple of seconds then drops off, and only if left for a while!!!

it's at a mechanics now, hope fully to pick it up today!!!

had a mad run of bad luck!!

had a bloody window fall out on the way to the mechanic's today, bloody sikaflex must have gone off and not actually dried!!!

so thats an extra $300 to get this replaced then get it tinted again!!! AAARRRGGGGGGHHHH.......

well maybe something will go right for me :)

maybe

Yeah thats much better, whats even better i have the car back now, running like an animal!!

it's amazing how much faster they get when you dont drive them for a long time :D

anyway turned out to be slight corrosion on the points of the ecu, and fuel pump relays!! had these cleaned up and it started, running rough though!! cleaned the AFM, then had issues with the calibration of the idle controller (no changes prior to incident) and it idles sweet now, although the revs dont drop after being in neutral for a couple of seconds like it used to!!

But hey, im still and extremely happy man, just gotta take some photos and post up the new paint job, now that it's all back together.

thanks for the responses people!!

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
