Problem Solved.

[willzgtst]

for a couple of months i have been complaining to you guys about my car randomly stalling, and i was fed up and about to sell it. but i came around and tried one more time...

i never thought this would be possible as you lose all hope after trying many times and mechanics being dodgy, anyway heres what i did.

i unplugged every single sensor connection, AFM IAC TPS and more, took intercooler piping off, took boost controller off, disconnected Boost solenoid, let it sit there for a while, more than half n hour,

i cleaned the AFM with contact cleaner again for the third time and let it sit in the sun.

I then by accident dropped the AFM and i thought great i screwed things up now didnt i ?

Anyway, put it all back together, secured all the connections, fired her up, and drove for 30 minutes, its been about one week almost and i havent had Hunting, hesitation, idle stall , power back off, heavy power steering at round abouts,

i guess the connections where loose, ill give it one more week of driving and see how it goes.

ill post another comment and let you guys know.

As for the blokes who offered thier Advice

thanks heaps!!!!!

my car used to have similar symptoms, swapped the engine (due to unrealted problem) and it stopped. gues one of the plugs were loose somewhere. glad you finally fixed yours

[willzgtst]

it came back today, but i think ive pinpointed the damn plug causing me issue, Either the AFM is blown or the afm cable plug is rooted,

it starts becoming wierd, i accelerate it hesitates, i pull over turn the car off unplug - replug firmly, then its fine.

is the air flow meter in need of soldering ?

or is my Air flow meter plug dead.

not your afm, i just fixed a problem just like it on a r33 s2 gtst, the plug became brittle and cracked, so cut the wires back about 1cm, then soldered the plug on it, now doesnt have any issues any more. been over a month and not a single problem.

if you want, run your car under idle and wiggle the plug around, you will notice stalling and hesitation.

so make sure you wire the cables into the plug, get a very small screwdriver to take the connectors out of the plug, then cut the wires and solder them onto the connectors and re plug the connectors back into the plug.

there is a similar issue on the coilpack loom, with heat they become hard and break after some years, i replaced my loom a couple months ago

damnit lol, im not very good with Wiring and electonics. Your right on one thing, For 5 days straight i had no problems, i could boost high and low, idle properly no stalls

untill last night, i took her out for a drive, and as i came to the lights, she died, so i fired her up, starts fine, idles ok Take off driving it bogs out a bit if i blip the accelerator it comes back after a second. I DONT GET IT ANYMORE!

somebody come fix this crap lol. i mean the last 4-5 days weather was pretty much the same, so then we get hot day/cold night

So i pull over switch the car off, pop bonnet, unplug airflow meter Replug as firm as i can, start drives fine for X amount of time?

So is this the plug wiring? its killing me......

[Bronx]

plug wiring, go to an auto electrician and ask them to re-connect or solder the plug, say its not getting 100% contact to your AFM, shouldnt be much to fix. maybe 50 bucks.

i would do it if i was in melbourne, but a bit too far for me...

In the end it was a FAKE AFM! damn them fake afm's . Got a genuine plugged it in gave it a service, reset the ECU and bam! problem gone!

really happy with how she's driving now, goes really well improved!!!!

[cabramatta]

O_o never knew they existed

[willzgtst]

yeah, dodgy remakes, that dont send out right power and stuff, skylineowners forum had a forum up there about it.
