So I have a c33 laurel swapped stock rb25det built myself and been running for a year with no issues, Couple months ago my car started to just shut off while driving no pattern emerged as to when or why, would just be completely random. Sometimes would go days without doing it sometimes 3/4 times a day. All I would have to do is just turn the key off and back on and she would fire straight back up. 

Then progressively got worse and I’d have to turn they key a couple of times. Then got to the point it wouldn’t fire, I assume electrical but Ive got no idea where to start looking. 

Basically when it happens I loose all dash lights after a split second, ecu still has power, radio still works, windows work, car turns over, fuel pump doesn’t prime.

so far I have tested every relay i could find in the car except fuel pump, pulled ever fuse, gone over all loom given it a shake to try source a possible loose connection or break in wire and found nothing

im thinking it could possible be my alarm but was installed by previous owner and wouldn’t know where to start. Completely stummed and would love to pick your guys brains to get her back up and running for summer 

cheers in advance for any help ??

Is it a series 1 motor ? Then its probably the air flow meter. The internal connector pins that are soldered together have come apart and need re-soldering. Run a search here on this forum i think there is a tutorial on it.

She’s a series 2, I have been having problems with afm wiring definitely a crappy connection at the plug somewhere but tried having a wriggle around and doesn’t fix anything usually just goes into limp doesn’t shut car off when she plays up

Update... 

so ecu doesn’t have power when car dies but when power to ecu is unplugged in the engine bay the dash lights return 

I’m assuming fault with ecu have opened up and cannot see any visible issues, possibly short somewhere but stumped because will run for a few minutes then switch off and not run for a hour or two

with car running and I unplug afm car dies but will start and run in limp, return to normal once plugged in. I don’t see it being an issue with afm

      I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless

      Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.

      As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
