Hi guys

I have a '96 gts-t, which hs just started playing up tonight. When on idle it will sometimes 'hunt' usually upwards the sometime splutter and die this is only occuring when i let the car idle. Driving around it's fine until I come to a set of traffic lights. Car has had no mods for the last two weeks, so its nothing I have done.

I suspect its a fuel filter or pump.

I pulled into the servo to top up with fuel just incase I was running too low, and I noticed the fuel filler neck looked odd. Is is possible for someone to post a pic of their fuel filler, I have a nasty feeling the filler has fallen into the tank and caould be causing the problem. But 'm not sure, is it even possible?

Can someone with a 33 please help me out, and post up a pic.

Thanks

Nick...

Thanks for the help guys, i'm pretty sure the brass bits were there before. It looked odd when i put fuel in, but i wasn't sure. When I fish the little f_ck3r out will i need to glue it back in or anything, or should it just clip in?

Also has anyone ever heard of this before? Or is it a new one for the skyline medical journals?

Looks like your going to have to do battle with the big plastic nut on the top of the fuel tank to get the bits out. May the force be with you, and failing that a nice strong lump of wood and a big old hammer.

Ok, compliance pisses me off. They stretch your fuel filler neck to fit that spastic brass thing in. This means that your petrol cap won't seal properly against the filler neck anymore without it. Downright pisses me off, because those stupid restrictors always come lose after time.

If mine ever comes lose, i'm going to source a filler neck which hasn't been 'complianced' and replace it.

leave it out... its the first compliance thing i remove on all my cars.... im lazy and hate having the unleaded restrictor in there especially when filling up at the airport :)

So does the filler cap not create a proper seal then? Wouldnt you get fuel splashing out when going around corners??

I had an issue where my filler wasnt sealed properly, and it spills fuel all over the track when i'm cornering hard..

It won't seal. Your tank cap seals against the filler restrictor - correct? yes

Therefore, the restrictor's cap opening is the same size as the original - yes.

I know because I watched the pricks comply my car. They used this air tool that expands the opening. They use a little bit of that squishy metal stuff. the metal glue that you squish in your hand until it becomes warm, then it sticks.

    • 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.
