hay i just left home to day to get a oil filter so i could change my oil and 2min's in to driving the car just started to run like shit missing cylinders all over the place and there was a lot of traffic so i just kept on going got the part and headed home and i tried keeping the revs low and that didn't work so i kept the revs high but not stupid between 3g and 4g and the problem went away. but i think that the ecu could be dumping fuel in to the motor and i think that makes sense because why else would it run fine in high revs. also my fuel economy was shit in low and high rpm

so i think i know what the problem is and now how do i fix it. need help asap because im going down to be racing my car next week

my car is a nissan skyline r33 gtst s2 auto

i was shitting my self there was a cop like 2 cars back almost all the was home and im seating on 1st and 2nd omg very lucky

i have checked all of my cooler piping taken it all apart and put it back 2gether and it still runs bad

i now think that the amf is sending the wrong signal or the ecu is sending the wrong signal

does any body know how to check that amf 2 see if it is working without trying somebody else amf because i dont know any body with a skyline

also how to reset the ecu and could this fix the problem ??

and any other ideas for trouble shooting would be much appreciated

im 90% that it is the o2 sensor that is shitting it self so i think i will replace that

because it runs the same when it is plugged in and when it is un plugged

also if u see a skyline in WA that sounds like it is about to die it is me

and the cops in WA ant 2 bad because i haven been puled over even with all of the engine problems

if you keep guessing what the issue is like this then we might as well lock this topic and forget it.

Why ask for help when your not prepared to do what we say ?

Try another AFM. then move on from there!!!!

cocky's! Why does everyone think that the O2 sensor is the be all and end all of problems with the way an engine runs? If you have a dud plug, for example, the O2 sensor, plugged in or not, isn't going to make a scrap of difference to how the engine runs.

i did replace the o2 sensor and the car still ran the same

i have no idea why my car ran the same with the o2 sensor in and when it was out with (the old one)

and then i went back 2 the spark-plugs i pulled them all out again and the one 3ed from the front was pissing out some milky crap and so i checked the oil and the coolant to see if it was a head gasket all clear and no other spark-plugs had this problem so i swapped the shit spark plug out for a old one that i know works until i have a chance to go out and get a new set because i have had it with these platinum ones im going to copper plugs.

well any why the car runs real good with the shit spark plug out maybe even better probs because of the o2

o and by the way "Guilt-Toy" i dont know any body with a amf so how do i test it what go and buy one. not every body has $$$ to throw around

and "blind_elk" u were 100% on the money but the car does run good with a new o2 no stuttering when i am idling so not a complete wast of time

thx for the help everybody i will post pix of the dud plug some time 2day

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
