Check all the vacuum hoses.

I had a mate that had his vacuum hose unplugged and it would stall at idle and lower revs.

Try resetting the comp, check your spark plugs, could be a lot of things.

I don't think its your fuel as the car wouldn't start if it was your fuel pump that had died. At idle your engine would be in a vacuum state. Revving down your engine would be a vacuum state.

check the above, its bound to be one of those things.

Check the following...

1. check vacum/air pressure hoses.

2. check blow-off valve - as it's not plumbing back to the engine, make sure the cut-off hose is securely fastened.

3. Check under car for breakage with exhaust piping.

4. always use high-octane fuel.

5. make sure that the battery is charging properly, if you get constant stalls - recharge battery or replace.

Thats all I can think of at the moment - good luck. But best to bring to a mechanic.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
