Na 93 R33 Engine Issues

Hi all, Just after any type of advice. Ive read topic after topic on different issues and while each topic addresses individual problems my skyline seems to have them all...its just a RB25 non turbo automatic with an exhaust.

symptoms are

Startup is a major issue, If it fires up after the pump primes it usually stalls within 10 seconds of idle

When it stalls after startup it takes about 10 tries to get the engine to start. it will crank but not turn over.

randomly on driving and coming to a stop the engine will just stall instantly.

randomly while driving at any speed or engine load it will just freeze the revs and the engine will start stalling, sometimes it will come good other times it will stall.

at exactly 3500 RPM it shudders or misfires as the RPM Climbs to 4000 and then its fine again

Sometimes the RPM will hit a limiter at 2500-3000 RPM until the car is restarted.

I have run diagnostics on the computer and it came with error codes 12 & 21

I checked the MAF sensor and found that the previous owner had hot wired the 5 pin 4 wire plug to a 3 pin MAF. I bought the proper unit for the car and cleaned it thoroughly with Air Flow Sensor cleaner and installed it, i have since cleared the error codes and now I get no error codes at all.

I have run the engine in the dark and noticed that every coil pack is flashing slightly, sometimes when the coil clicks the engine will misfire other times it does't misfire at all.

I have removed and cleaned both the AAC and the Cold start valve and checked both to make sure they're working properly. I have checked the resistance on all of the coil packs and the all show a solid 0.9 resistance...the car only runs premium petrol.

i have reset the computer, reset the idle, cleaned the throttle body.

I am completely stuck on where to look next, is it normal for the coil packs to flash ? can i check anything else ? Ive run down guide after guide trying to fix this issue. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

thanks

I would give it a tune m8, if you cant do a major tune get a m8 or shop to do it for you, compression test, new plugs, Coils are breaking down ect idle valve is block ect, Hope this help, Jamind

    • I do think it's weird I had it for 2 weeks then the issue came up out of nowhere and progressively got worse. I would've imagined changing everything in the ignition system would've resolved any ignition related misfires but still has the high rpm and idle misfires that seem unchanged. I would've thought if it was fuel related it would happen all the time unless it's the pump losing pressure when it gets hot. If it was the ecu I would think it would do it all of the time.  Something I noticed when I had it all apart was a pretty decent coating of oil in the J pipe coming from the throttle body. The weird thing about that is the pcv that goes to the intake is blocked off. So that has me wondering if the oil is coming from the turbo because that's the only thing that could get oil in there. This thing does sound like it spools like a mofo like I'm a former dsm guy and the only stock turbo I've ever heard spool this loud (to only go up to about 5psi) is on a diesel truck. And the recirculated bov is really loud too I had a TurboXS RFL and this thing is just as loud and being so low on psi seems a little weird. I don't know if any of this is or isn't related but just trying to make sure I'm not leaving any potentially helpful information out. 
    • So latest update. I replaced the ignitor with a jspec unit from enjuku. It felt a lot better at first although it is a little bit cooler of a day than it has been. Warming up didn't have as much misfire sputtering as before. Went on a 10m test drive. Felt good, a lot stronger though I was taking it easy on the boost. On the return trip started getting the cutting out at higher rpm again and was getting worse the longer I was driving. Took it easy the rest of the way home. Before turning the car off was getting the normal idle sputtering I was getting before.  So where I'm at now, entire ignition system has been replaced with upgraded components. Plugs still gapped at .8mm. Removed the fuel cap in case it was building too much reverse pressure I'm the tank, didn't help at all. Now I'm still on the same tank of gas the fuel treatment was in, I'm thinking if I can run that out and then refill with fresh 93 maybe  the treatment is too concentrated in some areas but doesn't explain that it only does it once the car is warm. I'm leaning towards fuel pump or injectors but if the injector was clogging I don't think it would make it shut off like it has but then fire right back up like nothing happened. So my current guess would be the pump. Without a fuel pressure guage no way to test or check it while it's running.  So that's kind of where I'm at. Need to start testing fuel components and ecu/wiring but I'm at a loss of what's the next logical step and procedure for testing it. 
    • @niZmO_Man thanks for that info, lucky I bought the gktech ones 🤙.
    • Never cheap out on brakes, tyres, suspension. I learnt the hard way at Oran Park lol
