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.....

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.

mmm i had this problem while drivin my moms ford falcon AU but apparntly in only happens when i drive it !! the car is a standard 99 falcon. i didnt think it was that bad when it happend a few times in low sppeds just b4 red lights or just as im pullin outa the driveway or pullin into one but when it happend while i was turnin from a 70ish zone :down: to a shopin centers car parck and a car was behind me .. just on the 90 degree turn and ir dyed and stoped turnin i was about to go into a tree and a car bihind me had to kill thier brake to avoide me and u can emagine the other cars behind that.. anyhow i took the car to many diffrant mechs and they all sed somethin diffrent but none actuly solved it as far as i know im not drivin that car no more and if what mom sez is true then u should just eaze up on the brakes i guess and ull be fine. id love to know what the problem is

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
