Jay_stylz Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 As I was driving home last night the car started doin. Some weird things best way to explain it was the car went dead felt like it was about to stall couldn't accelerate at all wasn't miss firing was just going dead anyone got any idea wat it could be ? I was thinking coil packs ? Maybe afm ?

sleptema Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Pretty hard to tell without an accurate description... But yes it sounds like your coilpacks. If they are still OEM and done over 100k kms, with a little bit of moisture they tend to f**k out. When mine went, I had just washed my car, drove fine until I tried to give it shit, then it felt almost like boost cut, no power at all.If it was doing it all the time, check your fuel pump/filter. Maybe you were starving it of fuel.

Jay_stylz Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yeah they are standard coil packs it was real strange tho wasn't a misfire it was like it was a complete dead spot when I I pressed the accelerator it was like the car was off no miss nothing just a dead spot Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/429613-car-cutting-out-under-acceleration-not-misfire-any-ideas/#findComment-6952798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleptema Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 So was it just a certain point in the power band or it just wouldn't accellerate at all ever? Or would it drive normally if you babyed it, and only 'died' when you tried to rev it a bit? Yeah they are standard coil packs it was real strange tho wasn't a misfire it was like it was a complete dead spot when I I pressed the accelerator it was like the car was off no miss nothing just a dead spot Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/429613-car-cutting-out-under-acceleration-not-misfire-any-ideas/#findComment-6952812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Try resoldering the AFM pins as per the 'how to'. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/429613-car-cutting-out-under-acceleration-not-misfire-any-ideas/#findComment-6952815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Kasko Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Popped intercooler pipe? Is the car making boost? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/429613-car-cutting-out-under-acceleration-not-misfire-any-ideas/#findComment-6952816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
niZmO_Man Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Check the links at the battery terminal Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/429613-car-cutting-out-under-acceleration-not-misfire-any-ideas/#findComment-6952901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleptema Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Alternator should provide all the voltage needed while car is running. Technically you could remove a battery once the car is started and not notice anything.

xhxr6t Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Sounds the same as what mine is doing. Completely cuts out, like it cuts the ignition, could pump the throttle and nothing. Then it comes back running perfect like it never happened. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/429613-car-cutting-out-under-acceleration-not-misfire-any-ideas/#findComment-6952911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleptema Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Maybe cam or crank angle sensor?My vy did the same thing, only the engine stopped completely and I had to restart the car. No noise, no splutter - just died. Turned out to be the distribution module underneath the coilpacks, which got the signal from the crank angle.

niZmO_Man Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Alternator should provide all the voltage needed while car is running. Technically you could remove a battery once the car is started and not notice anything. There's a link for ECU there, pull that out and the engine will shut off. Happened to me on my R31 and R32. Don't know about the newer cars. Yes you can pull the battery out, just remember where the alternator wire connects to.

xhxr6t Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 In my thread someone told me to re solder the AFM. I did this, and took it for a 25 min drive and didn't miss a beat. I'm still not completely convinced that it could be the fix, but I'm happy to be proven wrong, and I hope I am!

Joshhr33 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 same thing happend to mine , was the AFM. I swapped it over with a working one and has run fine ever since. I would start with the cheapest and easiest options first then move on to the harder and more expensive items.

Jay_stylz Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 what is CAS? could be there airflow meter time to get a new one i think Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/429613-car-cutting-out-under-acceleration-not-misfire-any-ideas/#findComment-6955979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Despo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 CAS is crank angle sensor, but it's most probably an afm issue Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/429613-car-cutting-out-under-acceleration-not-misfire-any-ideas/#findComment-6955993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
