Hi all,

I posted up last summer with this same problem but i really didnt get enough info to help me with my problem..

The problem im having is that my GTS is spluttering and stalling like it needs fuel/ At first this was happening only on extremely hot days. around the 40degree mark, id be driving along, start to feel like im running out of fuel and as soon a the revs get lowish the car would die. The problem went away completely all year untill last week when we got the hot spell here in adelaide. This time the problems getting worse though, its cooled down now but i still havethe problem with the stalling and starving for fuel.

I need ideas on what this can be, iv taken it to a number of mechanics and they do not give me any answers, one guy said to me it could be o2 sensor, i sed i think not...obviously doesnt know much about skylines then...

So somethings geting affected by heat, im thinking Crank Angle Sensor, AFM and fuel pump right now.. less likely to be the fuel pump though i think..

Please help with your ideas..Mechanics iv taken it to obviously dont want a bar of it..

Cheers

Don't laugh I have had this happen to another car.

The fuel would evaporate in the fuel rail due to the engine bay being to hot and not actually get in to the engine. Try looking at you engine temp and gauge the engine bay temp. Plus get a service to get you fuel rail checked.

agreed

seriouse. Ok ill look in2 that.. Thanks..

i must say though that my gts-t auto gets ALLOT hotter under the engine bay than my GTS, although if you think there might be a problem in my fuel rail then that would explain it..

Iv run plenty of nulon octane boost and flush through it and changed the filter just over a year ago. (Had the original nissan filter on it, lol).

guys the problem is definately getting worse now.

I havnt had time to do a thorough inspection of my lines but so far they look ok. Looks like i might have 2 slightly leaky injectors again, but iv watched them and i cant see fuel coming out just looks bit like fuel been escaping a bit around the injectors.

I have noticed that when i open my fuel tank now theres no sound of pressure being released anymore. I remember there used to be, so does this indicate that there is a pressure leak somewhere in the system? If there is guess thats the cause of my problem..

Cheers

ok incase anyones interested iv found my problem. AFM.. started getting worse and worse untill it went completely into limp home mode..obviously theres dodgy connections in there or something. very wierd because it presented slightly different symtoms than what normally occurs when they go..

Btw, it doesnt show up on ecu diagnostics..dunno why.

Yeah swapped it with my wifes gts-t and its not doing it anymore, so has to be the AFM, ill get myself another one when i get a chance. unless its a coincidance that the problems stopped.. lol, i hope not.i want it fixed.

You can fix them if it is just the connections...don't throw it out.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
