I just pushed my skyline home for almost 2km, car just died, when u press accelerator pedal it just chokes and turns off...you can start the engine, idles fine then i press accelerator it dies down...what could be the problem, its r33 with wolf3d, bigger turbo intercooler, bigger injectors fuel pump...i think its fuel related? any thoughts? any replies welcome?

thanks

surely the hand controller would give you some indication of what is wrong? does it show the map sensor reading correctly? does it show injector duty ok? does it show fuel pump relay and power working ok? all fuses ok?

i dont understand hand controller functions too much but injector duty is same as it was before...i checked all the hoses and found out that one vacuum line from inlet manifold to some thing in left corner driver side where u put brake fluid is ripped, do you know what is that thing? the vacuum hose is prolly 1mm thick

Basically, everything you need to know is displayed on the hand controller's main display. RTFM.

Watch what the display does when you s-l-o-w-l-y press the throttle.

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
