Hi, I'm fairly new to posting, have searched the forums for answers but get nothing specific so sorry if you have heard it all before:-

Got a stock R33 (Auto) Series1, have a 3" Exhaust from cat back, blow off valve and air pod. When I am at low revs around the street I accelerate, then let my foot off.....it then drops revs to about 500 and almost stalls, or it has even stalled once or twice which is not good. Any ideas? I tried putting a stronger earth for the fuel pump but no change.

Also driving at about 60km, the car sort or drops down then picks up then drops down, kinda like changing gears, but my foot isn't on the accelerator very much.

Hmmmm............

sounds like you might have a head gasket or dropped cylinder problem....get it pressure tested at a mechanics (in your capital city) and see what they say

another thing it could be is the air/fuel mix. If the Air Control Filter (which is electronically controlled) is acting up and not closing properly you will be getting air intake when your not supposed to and causing a drop in revs.....

also check the Oxygen sensor

I have this problem too.

You have to do 2 things to reduce the effects of this problem.

1) Clean the throttle body

2) Raise the idle RPM

Note that it doesn't get rid of it entirely. However the car becomes very much less prone for a stall after acceleration.

I have also heard replacing the AFM will also help.

      Do not ever trust ChatGPT with anything math related. They can't do math. They have no idea what it is. With enough data we can fit a decent equation in Excel, or if the available fits in Excel aren't good enough, a Matlab clone.

      You could check/calibrate that with a thermometer, we have long glass thermometers at work which go from -10 to +150°c, they are pretty cheap too I believe,  as monkey fisted soldiers tend to break them, and getting new ones don't seem to send red flags to the people that hold the purse strings Edit: after a google they apparently cost about $80, but, digital ones seem to be much cheaper at around $40

      I should have prefaced all of this with "I'd really like to not pull anything out of the car for this"

      Me, I would happly spend some more coin on better tyres for my street car  Will they work, yes, of course, but why substitute some dry grip/braking distance, and wet weather grip/braking distance on what is really old tech to save some coin on your "precious" street car In the end it might not be you that farks up, it's the thousands of other idiots on the street that you need to worry about  For a street car that gets some "fun time", I have found that a quality tyre that can handle dry, wet, cold (Canberra gets pretty cold) and hot conditions, which may costs a little more, is great insurance  From my experience with them (driving around Goulburn in the winter) the RE003's are pretty poor in cold and/or wet conditions on the street If RS4's didn't hate gripping in the cold I would be running them always on the street,  great in the dry, OK in the wet, but, they do hate the cold, with a passion, I run PS5's year round now, basically, I've found the PS5 to be a great year round street tyre for all conditions, they last well, and are mid range pricing wise TL;DR. Tyre choice is probably like what brand and grade oil you should use, ask 10 people, and get 10 different answers... LOL
