hey all :(

im really hoping i can find some help here coz im out of ideas and i cant keep driving my car waiting for it to die, then toe it :D

first time the car cut out it lost revs, i couldnt accelerate (non responsive) and the car stalled while i was driving. restared fine but took a few seconds for the accelerator to work again. week later it cut out and started but was spluttering and coughing then stalled (but then started fine, several times). days later it stalled and did not start for 30mins (twice).

all times the car had only been driven for about 20mins. but car was warm in that respect.

things ive done to fix the problem.

-fuel filter

-reconditioned AFMs

-CAS and ignition module been bench tested. (by auto elec)

-conections cleaned.

A few mods on the car - cat back zorst, mines ECU.

the problem hasnt re occured since ive been out of the auto elecs (3 hours) but im sure it will happen again soon.

any ideas personal experiences would be much appreciated.

Last year, I went for a drive and on my way home turned a corner and car spluttered then died.

It was so hard to start and I had to pump the pedal just to get it to splutter and not even idle.

In the end it was narrowed down to the fuel pressure bypass check valve thats in the tank. It's located on the outlet line from the pump.

It was bypassing fuel for no reason, so the engine would barely run. It could fail intermittently...

Could also be that ecu of yours...

you mean the brass fitting on the line? it looks in working order.

i have heard nothing good about the mines ECU so its got me worried :S

i dry fitted a fuel pump in it not long ago and the stock pumped looked in good nick.

can some1 clarify how to check fuel pressure?

If you can get your hands on a stock gtr ecu then you can try that and rule that problem out.

My 32 was doing a similar thing and turned out to be a dying fuel pump but it can be tested by a mech with a simple pressure guage being put into the line and seeing what happens every time it plays up.

Is your idling rpm unstable at times? If is, then is most likely to do with a dirty AAC valve. You need to open it up and clean it and adjust the idle screw accordingly. There is a DIY on the forum on how to do this. Just search aac valve.

so ive had my car back for 1 day now and already i know the problem is stil there :)

on my way home i noticed a massive decrease in power, almost like the accelerator was heavy??? best way to describe it anyways.

im getting a fuel pressure kit tomorrow so i can test the fuel pump.

the ECU and Fuel pump are the only things i have left to change out. im hoping its the Fuel pump?

just to clarify though. if the fuel pump has shit all pressure would this throw the CAS off??? because when i died 1 night i called the RAA and he did the light bulb thingy on an injector plug and said the CAS must be damaged because there was no pulse BUT i had the CAS bench tested and it is fine???

Some give me some answers please!

  • 3 months later...

i have a similar problem, when I excelarate it goes okay fo a bit then stops ut doesnt stall then goes again. like it is spluttering.

what i did was i replaced the coils and that actually worked... it stopped it unfortunately for only 1300ks now its back. so i dunno what it is either. my friends think its he fuel pump i was thinking air flow metre but i got that checked. so i dunnooo.

:)

rrb20ash yours sounds like the wrong heat range or incorrectly gapped spark plugs if the coil packs fixed it for a while. as for the gtr's id be checking your bypass valve in the tank as previously mentioned. because if it was the fuel pump it would have shit itself by now instead of doing it every now and then. although they take a while to die once they start cutting out completely there's not long left in them.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
