Check for a vacume leak like a leaking manifold gasket or intercooler pipes and all the vacume hoses even a small leak can cause problems. The easy way to check for a leak is to have the engine idling and spray engine start over all the hoses inlet manifold and intercooler pipes if there is a leak the engine will rev up or splutter when the engine start gets sucked in.

yeah going to chech that today, i have some pluming end caps to allow for plumming up of the air compressor and looking for leaks that way.

also founf on the net that the plug near the washer bottle can couse problems, so i am going to clean it up and redo the connection to make sure it's AOK.

other then that i am out of idea.

I did a log of the car this morning and noticed that as soon as it does this and goes funny, the oxygen sensor drops to zero and then bounces back then back to zero,

dropping to zero means really lean, ie could be fuel cut. what do injector duty cycle say as same point?

post up your consult logs would help

just cause the ecu is remapped doesnt mean its necessarily remapped "properly". a few stray values and the car might be cutting all fuel for given points in the map. can the rom be downloaded with consult? if so maybe u could check that out with some rom editor software and see if anything looks dodgy whereever you're having problems

I have the .bin file for it i will PM you with it. It definatly has not got boost cut on the ECU. Like i said teh ECU ran fine for about 6 months, no issues it was briliant, and somethign has gone wrong since then to make it liek it is.

I will do another log of the car tomorrow morning and post it up for you all to see.

I have had a new CAS and AFm on, no differance, new TP and ACC valve, no change, have 6 new injectors to chuck in it and do a full blown leak test on the piping.

did u get any fault codes? under 3500 rpm sounds like possibly a knock sensor issue

and im not up to speed on rom stuff, but if there is a secondary knock map, then maybe its detecting a bit of knock, and then using that knock map (which could have the dodgy value in it) or simply the knock protection is what ur feeling (r&r)

not sure if the ecu listens to knock sensor at idle though, so you may have another issue there.

well got a new ecu and no go still the same issue. I did a full log this morning and am about to go over it and have a look.

I was thinking Knock sensors to, but accoriding to my SAFC II no matter which one i connect to, thy both show simmilar values. I have a set to put on, so that is next on the line.

This may fixnumber two, but still starts like a dog in the morning.

As for fault codes, sweet FA.

This sort of sounds like what my car is doing atm. It's standard apart from a 3 inch straight through exhaust and a pod filter. It keeps stopping. Like if you drive along it will stop and then jerk back into life again. It doesn't seem to be related to anything. The only thing maybe is that when it is warm cos i don't remember it doing it while its been cold. I'm thinking it could be something to do with the ingnition because if it was coilpacks it would just miss wouldn't it?

Good luck with your problem WogsRus, hopefully your solution will help me :P

EDIT: Oh BTW i'm trying to get hold of an ECU Diagnostic tool to see what i can find. Will post the results.

yeah well still searching. I did a pressure test on all IC piping and connection, 50psi and holding no issues there. Still to pressure test the planum.

Getting a new PCV valve for the rocker just in case.

I had two more ecus and it's not that. Nothing to do with mapping, as i had my mates PFC and it still does it with that, and his can has same mods and power.

I have replaced 90% electrical componenets and still nothing. Going to go over teh wiring loom as there has to be something worong with it. HAS too.

boooohhooooo,

pretty sure 0 = lean, which means u have a fuel problem (rather than ignition...if fuel was getting in but no ign, o2 sensor would be rich)

had ur injectors tested/replaced at all? ran any additives etc?

u really need to post logs though...eg is the fuel problem because the ECU is telling the injectors not to inject, or because the injectors arent injecting the fuel (even though the ecu is telling them to)? eg is there an input sensor (afm, engine temp, cas etc) that is messing up at that rpm due to vibration etc, and the ecu is responding accordingly? cant tell without the logs.

i have an a stock reg and a 1:1 rising rate on inline as a precortion. I have the log i posted it here.

So far i have showed it to a couple of people and taking their instructions on board.

check or replace the CAS with a known good one and see if problem goes away.

Right i've had the ECU diagnostic tool plugged into my car and went for a drive. The CAS reading went up to about 6000rpm even though the engine speed wasn't this and the when it jerked back into life the CAS reading came back to normal. Getting a new CAS ASAP to hopefully fix my problem. The ECU diagnostic tool also said there was a AFM problem. Could this just be because of the CAS being dodgy or could my AFM need replacing as well?

BTW car is a 1993 R32 Skyline GTS-T Type M with 86000kms, 3inch straight through exhaust and pod filter.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
