Hello there! while driving my stereo system turned off and wouldn't turn back on. The next day I drove around then all of a sudden my car would choke/stutter in 2nd gear, I drove home slowly and took 3rd and 4th gear a bit higher with no issues then dropped into 2nd and started to choke again at around 4k revs.

Got home took battery terminals off then back on. Stereo system works now butchoking remains. Gave it a rev in neutral and same choke at 4k revs.

Any ideas?

Mods are as follows: nismo front mount, autronic ecu, injectors, spitfire coilpacks, n1 turbos, tomei fuel regulator with walbro in tank pump, 3" turbo back exhaust, turbo smart bov, boost controller 2stage, blitz turbo timer. Has previously had a dyno tune.

Any help is very much appreciated !! Thanks guys

what do you mean by choke? do you mean misfire? if it is just misfiring then how old are your plugs? if they are old then that may be the cause, but it may also be that you have a failing ignitor or coilpack or even an issue with one of your afms

It ended up being the limiter. Very strange that it would just change while I'm driving. I thought it'd be in limp mode but not sure thats possible cause the ecu is aftermarket. Any thoughts on how this could happen? I'm thinking there could have been some kind of shortage or something

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
