R32 gtst hot issues

Hey,

So ive got a 1992 gtst type m that i picked up recently. Its got 100,540km on it now and i just did the timing belt, put on a cheap diy intake and thats it. The car is in spotless condition.

Now im having an issue with the car when it warms up. Originally it would just start hard after the car had been driven. Now the car will start fine cold with no misfires or anything, but as soon as it gets to operating temp it just stalls. If you crank it over the idle will be high, around 1800rpm and then it will start to idle hunt from about 800 to 1800rpm. If you give it any throttle input itll stop at 2500 rpm which im assuming its a limp mode?

I replaced the ignitor and checked all fuses throughout, but im running out of ideas. 

Any help would be appreciated!

Dan

Small update.

I unplugged the MAF while it was idle hunting and when i plugged it back in the idle INSTANTLY dropped back to normal and the car stopped running in limp mode.

So now the car is back to starting hard after its warmed up. Itll start up but immediately die. Then it takes 10 to 15 seconds of cranking before it sort of "coughs" to life and then runs perfect again.

Well i still have the factory parts and i may put it back to stock. That being said when i got the car the MAF wasnt tightened down in the inlet tube. Its a super tight fit even getting to the clamp which might be why it wasnt done up properly.

As far as i can tell this car was dealer maintained its whole life.

Ordered a used maf hopefully itll help with my issues. Also going to pull my stocker apart and see how bad it is.

Reading through a few posts scattered across the net, some people said the contact points in the connector have fallen apart due to time and heat among other things.

So the idle hunt and other issues were solved with a remanned afm but im still having hot start issues.

In the morning the car fires up fine but getting in after work the car will fire up and the immediately die. Then the engine will crank for 5 to 10 seconds before it fires up. Today i noticed smoke from the exhaust and it appeared to be black. Ive also smelled fuel when the car needs to crank longer.

Is it possibly leaking injectors maybe?

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
