Help S2 R33

cruisin at a constant speed ie around carparks the car sudders and loses all power

and rolls for 3.4 sec then jolts back into life sometime its quite violent

what would cause an ignition/fuel? cut full loss of power

only momentary 3 -4 secs at a time

replaced o2 sensor

replaced cas

replaced afm

replaced plugs

tested coils

timed engine 15 deg

set idle

stock apart from a power fc

Sounds like a fuel cut to me, whats the condition of your fuel pump and injectors? What about your fuel filter ( i know its dumb but check it anyway ) Does it only do it at that specific load point? Or other areas of the tune? Have you checked your ignitor chip out? So it only does it while crusing slowly? If so sounds like a tuner hasnt tuned the first 3-4 lines of the power FC Fuel map properly, maybe has removed the fuel in those areas to avoid reversion richness... have seen it done before as strange as it sounds.

thanxs for the reply

umm pump is stock fuel filter is about a month old a/f are 13.2 donw to 11.9 at wot

last time i had on the dyno in feb its been doing it since then he could find the prob on the dyno

yes low load low speed say first second and third first five by five block

also has a slight surge at high speed like on the highway

where is my ignitior chip the series two have the ignitors in each coil so i would be not a coil prob ?

the numbers are 125 3x5 and then 129 to complete 5x5 block

I had a similiar issue once. Was a bad connector on the afm signal wire. I previously had a safc in the car; removed the bullet connector soldered the wire and all good.

I found the problem by using the pfc's graph signal trace type option. I could see the afm signal dropping to 0v occasionally; that confirmed the problem. :)

please answer the following

has it always been a problem or just only started occuring?

does it ever occur during acceleration?

when it does happen do you loose power (volts) too or does the engine just stall?

if you look at ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK when the problem occurs, what do you see?

i would say based on what you have described that its not tune related, it would be pretty hard to tune it like that

do all the lights go dim etc, have u got a battery guage, if so check it when the car has the problem

or even look at MONITOR, 1 CHANNEL, BATTVOLT and see what it does when the problem occurs

have u got the stock ecu?

put it in for 5 minutes and see if you can replicate the problem with it

if you can, then run stock ecu diag with consult and it should tell you straight away

thanxs for the reply

has been a problem since the power fc was installed (engine was transplated from another car all at the same time)

not under accel at all

batt voltage is good engine rpm just goes to zero no power you can even pump the accel pedal nothing at all

tps read a change but engine does nothing

no change with anything at time of fault

the stock ecu has other probs it runs reallt rich so that doesnt help much

it only happens at the low load low rpm when the same point is being used for say 400m rolling around car parks for example

It might be a "wear spot" in the TPS which is telling the ECU that it should "fuel cut on overrun". When it happens, move the acc pedal, see if it kicks back into life. Also, try and borrow a mate's TPS and see if you can replicate the problem.

ive had this problem. it is most definetly the AFM.

took weeks to snoop out.

swap it with a mates and test it

He said he's replaced the AFM. So unless its is another dodgy AFM and/or dodgy wiring then that isn't his problem. I have this problem with my R32 GTS-T atm and have had an ECU diagnostic tool plugged into it and the CAS reading goes crazy when it loses all power. My ECU also had an AFM fault so i cleared it and went for a drive and it came back. I'm going to change the CAS asap and will prob change to a Z32 AFM soon. You've said you have checked and replaced both of these though, there's a thread still going atm with a problem a bit like your and he changed the fuel pressure regulator and it fixed his problem so you could try that maybe. Let us know how you go mate!

Cheers

Stricko

yeah i have replaced both the afm and the cas

a big improvment in car response when i did

however it still has the weird cut out point

when it cuts out the engine responds to no input (accel pedal)

or otherwise

it has to be a wiring fault im going to strip it down on the weekend

  • 1 month later...

yeah i had similar problem and it was the harness plug on side of ecu not being straight, 10mm bolt was done up tight but it tends to bow like sxr said.... loosened the bolt and straightened the plug, pushed it on hard at both ends as i was doing bolt up and no problems... mate had same sympton but different overall problem, his was dodgy afm signal wire connection, kinda doesnt like when u twine the wires together n tape em up, so i stripped it all back and put connectors on it and no problem...

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
