R34 Gtt Help

[SKY 34]

Hiya,

driving halfway and the engine just died....the oil and the battry light went on...and I got to restart the car again...just stops like that, no stall nothing, I notice the power steering lock is back on....It's the 3rd time for the past two weeks, all happened as I am braking...once while stopping straight...twice while stopping to turn...

I'm using an automaster alarm, my best guess so far is that the alarm unit is faulty and cuts the fuel some time after the car started...however according to the manual, if that happens, the car will get locked; which it does not....need help, this is really dangerous, can't imagine what would happened iof the car just switch off midway driving the freeway

bckground detail....

about two weeks ago I installed a PFC, Greddy boost controler..however the boost controler was faulty so I removed it ..I'm now running 5 pound of boost without any boost controler...other mods, only a BOV HKS filter and CAI box...dun think these causes what's happening anyways.....

BOV causing your stalling issues? I would not be surprised

But check your alarm, mine cut out while idling once, I found out that the power supply to the alarm was a bit loose causing the car to suddenly idle funny then shut off.

My suggestion as with all "sudden" enginge faults is to double check all the wiring to the ECU - make sure it's all connected properly and tucked away neatly.

Mate has the same problem whenever someone accidently kicks the ECU area as his wiring is not done in the best manner.

dun think it's bov stall...if it's bov, will feel the stalling like vibration thing....this one jsut turn off...I didn't even know that the engine is off..

yah I'll check with the alarm and the ECU..thanks for advice
