G'day guys, i own a ca18det 180sx.

i need more ideas of how to fix this problem, basically car won't stay running without my foot on the accelerator, and when i do it won't rev pass 900.

i've changed the spark plugs, test the coils, did a compression test (all good), cleaned the most of the adaptors.....

is there anything else i should do to to get this car on the road again?

not wanting to sound rude but what could be wrong with the afm? i did took the thing off and gave it a quick cleaned, and from inspection,i thought the thing doesn't have too much mechanical components nor electrical components for it to be related to any problem.

as for the intercooler, while carbie cleaning the throttle body, i did took some of the IC pipes off to clean off some of the oil, i remember i did tighting up all the clamps but will pull it apart and pull it back together again tomorrow.

uummm at this point i gonna say no to a new comp :) wallet is quiet empty now after easter.

by any chance could be related to the crank sensor?, cos i got it replace a few days before this rev problem

This happen a day after i degreaser the engine, but i did took the car out after i cleaned it, and it was fine

Check your intake piping, I popped off a pipe today and it did exactly as you described it. Won't rev and dies if you lift the foot off the accelerator.

took all the pipes of today and put it back today nothing change so................

Is the CAS tight?

It might not be on tight enough and the timing is way out.

Check your connections on EVERYTHING electrical too. Just unplug them, and plug em back in.

........i messed around with the crank sensor, i didn't take it off just losen the bolts and turned it in both directions a lil bit at a time. NOW THE DAME THING DOESN'T EVEN KICK OVER.

CAS was tight, timing is okay after i changed the crank sensor, i've already unplugged most of the adaptors and cleaned it with carbie cleaner.

ANYBODY GOT ANYMORE IDEAS?

try a fuel pump. i replaced one in a r33 that was doing the same thing fixed the prob

i checked the fuel pump when i changed the "O ring" on top of the fuel tank about 6 weeks ago, fuel pump looks to be near new, also checked the fuel pressure and thats okay aswell.

thanks for that tip SXC_R33, can anybody think of anything else that is causing this problem?

+1 afm is stuffed actually a really common failing part and it wuold make the car not run past about 900rpm but you should be able to start the car fine, try starting the car with it unplugged if its worse its probably ok but if its the same then it could be stuffed

its entirely possible that its the AFM as stated, and because its been running rich for so long you have simply fouled the plugs...

i'd say get a new set of plugs ($20 all up for NGK copper BCPR6ES) and get a hold of someone's AFM

change them both at the same time and see if it kicks over and runs ok

hope that helps

seeing how i've stuffed around with almost everything i can think of, next will be the AFM, will try it unplugged or swap it with a mate.

i've already changed the plugs when this problem first occured, but that didn't much to it but might changed to those recommended to see if theres any different.

yeah but what i'm saying is that the AFM is the cause, and the plugs are fouled because of the AFM

so a new AFM might fix the cause, but the car might not start still because the plugs are foulled

you have to fix the cause (AFM) and the effected parts (plugs) at the same time to see if this is in fact the case

    • 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.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
