Hi. I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I have a 32 gts-t with a stalling problem. The problem occurs when the car is idling, or slowing down to idle (eg at lights). It runs OK sometimes, and then others it will drop in revs and just lose it, or it may drop in revs and then recover itself. I've replaced the AFM, O2 sensor, igniter and even the motor itself! It has the original BOV (not to atmosphere). We've checked the fuel pump and that's running fine. Injectors and coil pack have been replaced.

WHAT ELSE IS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've read the other posts that cover stalling problems and haven't really had anything that relates to this situation.

If I can get ANY help on this it will be much appreciated.

Thanks

PS. The guy who had the car before me had some dodgy work done to it. Don't know if this may be a factor.

Heh - I'm having the EXACT same problem!!! Boostworx has got my car atm and has for the past 2 weeks trying to sort it out!!!

We've tryed averything, had the auto-elec there a million times, tryed second hand parts etc. Nothing! Finally he was going to try replacing the fuel pump, but he would have had to order in one. So instead I'm just getting him to install a Bosch 040 which I was going to do eventually anyway. Hopefully that'll fix it!

Thanks,

Adam

p.s. with the fuel pump it can be running fine but still be the problem due to intermitent earthing problems, instead of mucking around with wiriing etc I'm just replacing it (a worthwhile upgrade anyway if your ever going for any performance mods!).

Thanks Adam.

I've been wanting to put in a bigger fuel pump for a while, but didn't know how to get around the wife. This is a great excuse!!!! And of course we'll keep our fingers crossed that this is the solution to both our problems!!

Darren

PS. Let us know how you go with yours

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=408 This thread is about the same problem but it is in the forced induction section. as i understand it, the computer in the car senses when the car is on idle and to stop the noise of the fuel pump being so loud when idleing, the computer cuts voltage to the fuel pump from 100% to say 50% to keep the humming noise down. now when the car does this it causes them to stall or idle up and down sometimes causing stalling problems. my car does it aswell, but i havent fixed the problem yet. to fix this problem u have to get the earth wire off the fuel pump and re - earth it to the body of the car to get 100% voltage to the fuel pump all the time. in this thread it tell you how to do it. just read throughit. hope this helps you.

Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. I'm putting in another fuel pump today, and if that doesn't fix it i'll try the AAC valve and re-earthing. I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!!!

OK. Changed the fuel pump and still had the problem. So I earthed the pump to some bare metal in the boot and guess what:

IT STILL STALLS ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The AAC has also been changed.

I am at my wits end (to put it politely).

Please if you have any different suggestions, let me know.

Dont have your bov vent externally simple

My car has this problem and it only started after i fitted the bov that vents externally. I plan to vent the air back in in the future so i can put up with it for now, it happens very occasionally anyway.

if its of any interest i did read somewhere on either here or sdu about a procedure u can put the ecu thru to rasie the ide speed or something. maybe do some searching... good luck

i had a similar problem, darren

turned out that it was because i had cut wire 53 (to remove speed limiter) and the car just thought that was a terrible idea. would stall sometimes at low rpm for no reason.

might be worth checking it out

could be a broken wire somewhere in the loom. it sounds like you have enough cash to go searching so maybe invest in a brand new wiring loom?

good luck,

Waz.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
