My car for some reasons has stalling problems after hitting boost when its warmed up.

It has stalled, then when I turned it back on stalls again, then on second time it starts but at times when I gave it some gas it splutters and then plays.

THis only happens when I rev it past 2000 RPM, I drove below 2000 rpm yesterday and didnt play up at all.

What could this problem be??

how old are your plugs? what type and gap are they? does it only stall when you are decelerating? if so, there is a good chance its your plugs. mine would stall after giving it a bit of stick then slowed down. put new plugs in and went away.

very much doubt it is the bov. seen plenty of skylines with atmo bovs that run fine. most common problem with atmo bovs is people put them on then don't tension up the spring so they leak. and when they do run rich on gear changes it is only for a split second. they don't constantly run rich.

stock car...

spark plugs have been changed ot new iridium NGK... coil packs r fine too. AFM is clean.

no idea...

i think it may something to do with the fuel system (fuel lines, fuel pump)... thought maybe u guys could chime in with something else...

getting same prob myself at times - seems ok and revs are stable (but higher than normal - idling at 1100rpm ish) but after accelerating and using boost - come to slow down and it can stall here n there.

only thing I can think of personally for mine is AFM on way out as other owners I know had similar trouble >_<

could also be idle control valve. we did some 'tuning' on my car and the next day idle was all over the shop. first it would idle high, then it would stall, then it would hunt. ended up taking the idle control valve off and giving it a good clean. sorted it out for me.

I put money on faulty AFM.

A mates car did the same thing. Started then stalled after one or two seconds. I unplugged his AFM, then started it with a bit of throttle in there, and he limped it home. It would cut out over 2000rpm (exactly), but it made it. New AFM and it runs perfectly.

idle control valve is at the back of the motor on the drivers side. it sits at the end of the plenum at the top. it has 2 pipes coming out of it, 1 of them underneath it. it has 2 plugs on it. if you look at it from the drivers side you will see the idle srew (about 8mm in diameter and takes a flat blade screw driver... i think) it is 3 screws to get off, the 2 plugs and 2 hoses. the bottom hose is a bit of a pain to get on and off.

to clean it you need carby cleaner, and optional is some pipe cleaner. just give it a good spraying. i took the little motor bit off so i could clean it completely. then when you put it back on you may have to adjust your idle, unless you get your screw back in the same spot.

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
