Hey guys just wondering if anybody has had a low fuel pressure problem? My v35 was sitting for a couple of months waiting for a new clutch after it was all installed i cranked it over and it started fine but instantly started idling rough revd do op to 500 and almost stalls, there is little to no throttle response and will stall if you dont pump the accelerater to try get the revs up? Has anyone had any similar issues?

When it first ran bad it threw two codes for the vvt solenoids we cleared it and it came back straight away i bought new ones and codes are gone speaking with a couple of my mates they sugested a couple of things that it could be a mechanic friend said it sounded like a blocked exhaust but we unbolted it and didnt change anything also low oil pressure was suggested we checked it last week and pressure seemed normal except it would rise and drop with the revs when it was about to die. Then it was brought up that it might be starving for fuel and without trying to rig up the oil pressure guage to the fuel line i cant tell if it is, so i was turning to the forum i get most of my answers from for advise ??

and i havent cleaned out throttle body yet

Well im just seeing if anyone has some advise for anything i can check to cross off the list, trying to avoid the mechanics but if its too hard to pinpoint ill take it in. Ive looked through alot of threads and havent seen anything with the same symptoms as mine. I know it might be annoying to tell people the same shit but if anyone has anything i can try i would appreciate the advice ?

The usual list is:

  • Dirty fuel injector(s)
  • Fouled/worn spark plugs
  • Faulty coils
  • Dirty IACV
  • Dirty/stuffed AFM (including dirty sensor element, dry/cracked solder joints, bad loom pin connections)
  • Bad CAS loom pin connections
  • Dying fuel pump or FPCM

And to that there is a random selection of other possible shit, like the O2 sensor can cause wierdnesses, the fuel pressure reg could just possibly be stuck open, and so on.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
