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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
