R33 Dying Need Some Help

[johnnnnnyboi]

hi guys i have a 1993 r33 manual turbo blabla, it had been sitting in my garage for about 6-7 months i recently got rid of my other car so i decided i wud fire this baby back up, i re-charged the battery, put new rims/wheels on it, put the intercooler piping back on, cleaned it up and then started her up you beauty!!! was all doin fine rev'd nicely and all that stuff, then one day i decided id take it to pump up the tyres i take it for a drive. Straight away i realise the car is going incredibly slow but was driving fine, pretty much my v4 pulsar could have beaten it which is rather embarrasing... my mate was like maybe your not giving it enough revs i turned a corner and took it to past 6 then shifted and the car just locked up and stalled, i re-start the engine and kept rolling 30 metres where the car died again i go to start the car and it has mass revving problems going from about 200-1400, the lights dim as if the cars gonna stall each time i try to accelerate but it just gets all these weird adjustments in revs, i could not move the car, i got it towed back to my house by my mate where there i had a closer look it was shooting that much black smoke out of the exhaust i swear you would be dead covered in it in about 3 seconds. ALSO on closer inspection i looked at the engine bay there seems to be no leaks or funny sounds or anything except the whole f*kin engine in the bay was bloody shaking more violently than my mums old washing machine!! i immediately turned the car off not wanting to turn it back on....

i looked at similar posts but my only querys would be that its the AFM, or could it be the fact that since the car was sitting for ages the 98 octance fuel i put in it went bad and has clogged the fuel injectors+ throttle body? also my biggest question... why the hell is my engine shaking? IMMEDIATE HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

thanks.

you should really put some more time into putting that out into paragraphs mate, very hard to read!

check that your airflow meter is still plugged in and operating correctly

also check that there are no intercooler pipes that have popped off. also check that there are no cracks anywhere in the intercooler pipes and intake piping etc

Sounds like vacuum leak to me.

AFM, boost leak, or vacuum leak.

sounds like an easy fix.

if not, maybe fuel pump?

There is your answer. You didn't put a pipe back on properly and it has most likely blown off.

This explains it wanting to stall, this explains the fuel being dumped out the exhaust, the fact it woudn't accelerate etc

From a guess it will be on the intake side where it goes to the 90 degree join through the passenger side hole in the engine bay. Common place for it to blow off and quite hard to notice.

second update: i guess it dosent matter but just figured for your own interest none of you were on the money, it really was simply just shit fuel, changed it out put a new filter plus hoses and the car works perfectly. but thanks for your inputs
