mine has just started doing this all of a sudden, straight after i removed everything from under/behind the dash. REALLY bad. hardly drivable. hasnt been tuned yet but it is very intermittant. power fc d jetro with gt35. im going to do the grounding thing and turn off o2 sensors. cas tps etc is fine.

you say all of a sudden, yet you mentioned it only occured straight after you pulled everything out from under the dash - conincidence you think?

double check whatever you did and triple check it - it might be something obvious or loose that is causing a bad earth. given it was fine before you started fiddling its a high possibility whatever you were doing has caused it

by saying all of a sudden i indeed meant straight after i removed everything ;) im thinking that all of that stuff could have helped earth the car. i know it really needs a tune just waiting on a clutch. one other thing i did b4 going for a drive was alter the cas and cam gears. but ive done this b4 and it had no such affect.

nah everything is brand spankers and i done all the work, but it never did this until i removed the dash the other day. ive also moved the cam gears to where they are now (0 degrees) and was never like this. when i started the car up it almost felt like the accelerator had no effect for a bit. i think im goin to change the cas cos thats the only thing i can think of doin this.

By changing the cam gears u affect the tune alot with a d jetro due to the map sensors, if it was using airflow meters it wouldnt be as bad.

Try pitting the cam gears back and see if it fixes it. Then readjust them when u tune it

well its running beautifully now and i think it was the cas. when i took it off to put the cam gears bak to 0, i left the actual cas on the mounting bracket so it didnt move. but when it goes bak on its hard to get the keyway to line up perfect. i think it was sitting out a bit and the keyway not locked into the grooves ... one other thing it could have been was the aftermarket oil pressure sender, it has only one pin for the light. i unplugged it this arv and im going to get a new stock one. oh and the dash was removed to take out the heater core, a/c condensor and fan.

Can anyone confirm if the earthing wire solution fixed the issue? If so could somone take a pic for me showing me what needs to be done as I have this issue ony my 32 gtr with a power fc.

interesting topic, is this issue only related to normal pfc?

I am running dejtro in r32 gtr and have missfiring issue under light load.

Have replace spark plugs, coil packs, coil pack harness. it went away but has since come back

seems to only happen atm when downshifting + rev matching, low rpm from what i notice under 3000-4000rpm, currently running with o2 sensors off

had a chat to my tuner and he wants it back on the dyno to see if its tune related

It's a random thing.

Not a constantly repeatable one.

If you can force it to occur, then you've other issues than the ECU having a minor hiccup due to the addressing once every so often

doesn't happen all time just now and then, i just notice it mainly happens in low rpm and light throttle.

will get it on the dyno to double check the tune, and might try some of the grounding issue.

the only other thing i can thing of if its not the pfc then i might be the box mounted on the coil pack cover (forgets its name)

For me it sounds like what other people have. It just seems to randomly happen maybe once a week and it typically seemed to happen when cruising on the highway around 100km sitting just under 3000rpm, it feels like a sudden jolt but only happens for half a second and returns to normal.

ive had similar issues with power fcs and earths (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/349571-erratic-tps-34-gtr/, earthing pin #60 of the ecu to the chassis ground had a physical effect on the voltage to the problem at the time. clearing the signal to the atessa. its a simple job. could fix the stutter issue of the fc

hey guys, sorry to open a old thread but having this problem at the moment. done a service (plugs and oil) on my r33 gtst with PFC and now having this intermittent miss. thinking i had a bung plug i changed all the plugs but it is still there. ok under power but has little misses at about 80km/hr under light load. did other guys sort out there missing problems or is it still common. im about to rip out the coil packs and get them tested but i dont think its them as the car run ok before the service and is fine under load at high rpm. im going to have a look at the earthing of the igniter module as well. any other ideas. cars got following mods

pfc

high flow turbo

550cc injectors

hey guys, fixed the problem on my old gtst(ended up being a loose injector plug) BUT my GTR is doing it, same thing, intermittent hiccup when cruising. have extra earthing wires everywhere under the bonnet but still there. ???

Has anyone tried to get a fix out of Apexi. Surely with such a well documented problem they could come up with a remedy in the software. I have this problem about 3-4 times a day on my rb25 running a v8.04a rb26 PFC. Always light throttle, and it seems like when adding throttle, it feels like you turned off the key for half a second. I have added a ground to the ignitor case, but have had no change.

Strange, Apexi USA is still open, and the Apexi Japan site is up. I always have the o2 feedback off as I have not finished the tune yet. I had a SR20DET before with a PFC without this issue. I am using the same TPS and Z32 AFM as before, so I do not suspect them to have any problems.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
