Car Stalled Whilst Driving

Hey fellas,

Had an odd issue last night. I was driving my car about 10-15 mins into my trip and going along Cumberland Highway at about 60-70km/h when my car just stalled and i was rolling forward. My lights remained on and i immediately put on my hazards and pulled over.

My car then wouldn't start for about 5 minutes. I popped the bonnet and smelt something a burning smell. I can't be 100% sure if the burning was coming from my car or from something else that wasn't involved with my car.

I finally got to start my car and hopped in and got about 50 meters before it stalled again, this was just going forward and no deceleration (no brakes where used)

Took another 5 minutes before the car would start so i just pulled into a side street and switched off the car.

Tried looking for a towey to get me home, but luckily my mate lives near by. He jump started my car and i drove it home with no issues. At first i thought it was an alternator issue so i measured my battery with the car on which measured 14v (to my knowledge this means the alternator is fine? I could be wrong!)

Car is now at home and hopefully i can get some help what to check and what the issues could have been?

Note - Car battery is < 1 year old as well.

Any help would be appreciated :woot:

Thanks!

For future references. Took it down to JLM Great bunch of guys there.

They changed the CAS, AFM and alot of other things to try and diagnose the issue.

The problem was the Fuel Regulator.

Changed it boom fixed!

Great to hear its all fixed. Its good that from posts like these we gain more know-how as to what to look for when these symptoms occur to our cars.

Suspected Electrical fault turned out to be FPR.

Did you tow the car to JLM? Bet it wasnt cheap :(

Didn't tow it, i drove it haha. Luckily it didn't stall!

Within 5 minutes of arriving at JLM it stalled. Good thing it stalled then so it replicated the issue and also i wasn't stranded on the road :D

Other things they checked was my fuel pump, pump flow, battery related issues and many others but for the many hours they had it i switched off haha.

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
