When driving the R33 gts-t for 20min the engine cut out. Then may happen twice in 10 minutes space..

It boosts and accelerates fine normally, but once it cuts out, it may

take 5 or six cranks before it hold idle again.

The safc and electronic boost controller has just been refitted after compliance.

It will now not be tuned till i drive it back to Adelaide.

Should it be fine? What could the problem be?

CAS, igniter or dodgy wiring on safc(ebc unlikely but possible)

its not fuel pump. we are checking and cleaning air flow meter tomoro. It does it after a long drive then i'll start restart and it will happen. Could it be the plug that goes into the ignition on the back of the motor getting hot on the rocker cover?

I'm putting on another afm friday to see if that fixes the problem. safc was removed but still has same problem.

Does anyone think it could be anything else?

Could it be this plug that runs over the rocker cover getting too hot?

bruz- i HAVE the same problem at the moment.

im pretty damn sure its the air flow meter.

ive had it checked over by a few mechanics and they cant find

the problem becasue it has to laps while thier tools are hooked up to it.

ive had numerous bits and pieces changed and im all most certain its the AFM.

it just cuts out intermitently. and some times only revs to 2.5 and pops.

this prob has cost me around $600 fkn around with it.

Hi there, i had a similar prob with my 33. it cost me a heap to send it to the auto elec and he didnt fix it. just cleaning the afm will not fix it. you need to remove the cover off the top and resolder the 4/5 joints in there. just resolder, then make sure you resilicone the top on well to prevent water getting in. you never know, it could fix it for you. apparently this is a common prob on cars with pods, such as yours.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
