Chugging Skyline R34

[Hanzie]

I Drive a 1998 Nissan Skyline R34 25-GT (import), I had it in the shed for 3 months then went to start it up and the battery is dead, which figures lol but after i jump started it, it started to have an engine chug sound, it does it in neutral, park, and while driving, it sounds like the fuel pump, but would like verification and details on which and where to buy.

Dont go rushing out and buy a fuel pump, could actually be any number of things wrong with the car

Put fresh fuel in it. Clean injectors, change filters. Reset computer.

I'll be putting in a new battery tomorrow as well as some fuel, and seeing if the situation persists, if so which filters do u recommend to replace? Oil and fuel?

Fuel filter. You have old fuel in there. Fuel goes stale after a while and loses both it's octane rating as well as the amount of force it explodes with, resulting in both gunk building up in the fuel system and the car not running properly. It may take a few tanks of fuel for it to run 100% again

ok, so ive put a new battery, new fuel and a new fuel filter in, (which was hard considering im still on compo with hand surgery haha) it stopped chugging for bout 20 mins and started again, im thinking mad082 is right about just needing more fuel ran thru it due to its low octane rating, i only put 10L in and there was about 10 already in it.

What do you think?

[niZmO_Man]

Get someone else to do the physical work.

Full tank it with 98RON fuel.

Does it sound like its on 3 cylinders down on power?

[StevenCJR31]

Fuel wilbe fine, I started my r 34 today- drove to work no problem, fuel has been in the tank since january

[Darky82]

Cool man, glad it's sorted. Fuel is crap now a days depending on where you get it.

[Hanzie]

No, it doesn't sound like it's lost power, mostly feels like it's trying to suck for fuel and can't get it.

And its back, after about a month of driving it, it seemed fine and running perfect and then last week the chugging was back, the exact same sound and problem, so i bought ECUtalk, and plugged it in and got it working, but it says "error 55" which is no malfunction, so im now confused of what to do if the ecu says its running fine :S Tomorrow ill be pulling the coilpacks out and checking them with a multimeter to make sure they are fine as i am assuming that either the coilpacks or fuel pump is the cause. But has anyone got any ideas on where to go and what to check?
