ok, one of our headlights only lights up when it feels like it, but if you beep the horn, usually it will come on?

what would cause that?

also, car has 150k with original coil packs, had iridium plugs that have caused no problem for 50k at 200 odd rwkw

car has just started randomly hesitating, usually at cruise, havent seen it do it at high rpm yet

time to start looking for replacement coilpacks? or could it be something else

nothing has changed on car in 20k

ok, update

car just completely died on me

went from small heistation to massive stutter to stalling immediatley

turn key on, engine revs just drop to stall immediately

let it sit for 1 minute and was able to limp car home

damn, first time shes ever let me down :yes:

i had the same problem with my headlight, mine wouldnt work, then when i slammed the door it would work..

it ended up dieing and not working at all so i went on a hunt to find out why and it wasnt getting any power so instead of stripping the loom really far back i did the dodgey and hooked it up to my parkers... seriously who drives around with only parkers on anyway haha :(

ok, bit more info about the hesitation/dying

cars been at shop for the last two days

of course when its in shop, behaves perfectly, no dramas at all

had diagnostic guy come out and check everything, no faults, coils look ok

mechanic seems to think that afm mite be faulty?

problem has only ever occurred at light load, not on boost

cruising at 110 on highway, and then cruising at 60km/h the other nite

im looking at changing my afm to a bosch z32 anyway, so mite give that a try

fuel pump is a reasonably new walbro, probably 12 months old

havent had any issues with it that i know of since install

i am watching the pfc hc whenever we drive anywhere now to see if something funny happens with the afm reading when this occurs

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
