hey folks, ok basicly my car is stalling while im moving, an it tends to be in 5th gear and when im clutching in, thats when this has happend, luckily ive been driving in a straight line because the steering goes when this happens so ive been lucky so far but i need to get it fixed asap, anyone know why and how to fix this?

note i recently installed a pod and put new oil in the gearbox, theres another thread on here regarding the oil i put in but no one has answered and i realy need this solved, basicly in regards to the oil i put in 3 litres according to the help from autobarn, and that worries me alone.

Anyone know whats going on and how to fix this?

cheers

Ok thats really weird cause my car just started to do that, out of the blue really but has happened only twice will post if anything knew happens otherwise will be following this thread closley

i forgot to mention it sputters while cruising, like vvvvvv.vvvv.vvvvvvvvv.vv every now and then. also, i was testing it a bit and it only stalls when i hold the clutch in to long when changing gears. the revvs just drop like a rock, so i goto keep blipping the velocitator to keep it from stalling, any difference in story?

cheers

Mine is stalling a little often at the moment too... ...but when I go from 1st to Neutral... ...and mostly while turning while doing that... ...eg three point turns...

But it's been a while since I got it serviced (damn cash flow)... ...So I think it will be picked up in my next service...

its the afm 100% you probably havent clamped the pod on properly. Ages ago id taken the lid off my airbox to get that gay woosh sound and for about a day the car would stall like urs too until the computer kind of worked out what the hell was going on and it went away. If the car wasnt doing it prior to the pod being installed then chances are its something to do with that.

good luck!

cheers mate, i think your right, i had a glance last night, and i might have found some spots, i really thought it was the computer cracking the shits, but still hasnt worked out the right amount of fuel/air ratio. awell, will pull apart and start again lol.

oh P.S is there a way to reduce the WHOOSH sound the pod makes? it sounds a bit wankish lol

PEACE

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
