G'day,

My skyline is running terrible, stalling and struggling to restart and this ones has got me stumped. The car seems to have a rev limiter of 2500? (AFM?) it really struggles to climb revs, and many times will stall and not restart. The strangest thing is the car will run perfect for the first 5 mins then start bunnyhopping all over the place like its running out of fuel. Give it a few mm of throttle and it dies in the arse and bunnyhops.

Any help is great the only thing left is the AFM, so how can I test it?

Cheers heaps

Try taking the AFM out and cleaning it with metho or something, I usually use a gas lighter on it as well to burn the metho off -may be a bit extreme but it seems to work for the last ten years of doing it every year.

Also change your fuel filter if you have not done so.

Seems to be when it gets hot that you have the problem so that indicates maybe a water temp sensor??

Yeah thanks mate, fuel filter was changed and whole fuel system was flushed out and a new tank was put it, so at least I know it's not that.

Yeah will give the AFM a better clean this time, but it was crystal clean last time was cleaned only 2 months ago.

Will check the temp sender again

I'm sure some other poor bugger skyline owner has had this before :wub:

Cheers

Yeah iv had almost the same problem. not as extreme as what your getting though. I took my car to a few different people and no one could give me very good answers. My car seems to of fixed itself though... wierd.. hasn't happend for a few months now..

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
