Help =(

[Reaza]

hey guys, i was a member of the forums a few years back, and then got out of the skyline game for a while because i had some trouble with money after my last 32 =(

ANYWAY

i just recently bought another r32 gtst

it was fine for a couple of weeks, but is now starting to have alot of problems.

my main concern is that when i accelerate, and boost starts to come on, sometimes the car will LITERALLY just stop accelerating. the revs drop, speed drops and boost drops. USUALLY when the revs get down to about one, i just put the clutch in and pump the accelerator and its all good again.

lately its been happening alot.. like maybe once every few minutes.

also, last night it got to the point where the whole car just stalled while i was driving.

when i got the car home, i turned it off and the turbo timer kept it running for a bit... then i heard a strange noise coming from underneath the car. it sounds kind of like the car is trying to pump something and happens once every 5 seconds until the car is off. the noise seems to be coming from the passenger side underneath the car, and not from the engine bay.. but it could just be the acoustics of my garage.

the direction of the noise and the symptoms of the car make me think its the fuel pump but i have absolutely jack shit knowledge of cars, so im probably way off..

if ANYONE has any idea what it is, please let me know because i love my car and want to be able to drive it again without having to worry about it breaking down =(

thanks alot guys,

Scoobs.

sound like fuel pump on it way out.

just go down to your local machanic and tell him what it doing ...he may drive it or he will know from what you have told us.

it def sounds like fuel to me mate

If you are a FYI kind of guy like me id do the following

get a inline fuel pressure gauge $30 or a cheap autogauge one for $50

take it for a drive and see whats happening?

also check the earth wire on the pump there is a FYI on fixing that common issue

you can do this by using a multimeter and checking the voltage

PM me with any updates as id like to know how it goes.

GOOD LUCK

Also dont rule out a blocked cat, would be a reason why it runs fine at low rpm and no boost but once you start trying to put a lot of gas's through it then it chokes and dies.

ahh ok i never considered that, thanks for that!

im assuming bosch 044 can be bought at super cheap auto and such places yeah?

thanks again for your help dudes!

turns out it was the freaking afm.

it was checked first thing, but it wasnt faulty all the time, it was intermittent.

god damn intermittent problems.

it took 4 checks to find something wrong with it.
