Hey Guys, I'm new to this and joined to see if anybody could help me. I have a skyline gtst r33 and recently it started stalling with out any reason (it's automatic trans.). Whether the engine is hot or cold or while driving it'll just stall. I went to Sinergymotor Sport and told them to do a service and check what's going on. They didn't find any ECU fault codes. Fuel pressure no fault when road tested with fuel pressure gauge. Has anything like that happened to anyone before? The shop just told me to come back when the fault becomes more regular as it only stalled twice for them and then just run perfect. After picking the car up from them it stalled on the way home while driving. I live in Oakden SA. If you can maybe recommend to see a workshop that is in the area or have any other suggestions.

No its pretty much standard.

It's either standard or not. Not pretty much standard .

Time and time again people say their cars standard, and a few pages in we find out there's something not standard about it that causes the issue.

I'm not being a dick. Are there any mods?

Sorry mate. No there isn't any mods except for a nismo exhaust.

Ok. Intermittent problems totally suck. The two things I would be looking at are the afm and the cas.

Starting with the afm clean it, Google how to.

You don't want to be buying parts at random, so ideally you could try a borrow a known working one before buying your own.

^^ as mentioned above. Give the AFM a good clean, take it for a run and see how that goes.

Also by getting Synergy to do a service, what was done as part of the servicing?

Stalling is a known issue with the BOV being blocked off, even though I have yet to experience it for myself as yet.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
