Hey Guys, hdon't know if anypone has come aross this problem before, but am having trouble with my 33. It a 96' ser 2 gtst with some big fuel problems (i think). The problem is the catr will start fine, idle is a little high at 1000rpm, but ok. it will rev all the way through to the limitor, but if you were to hold it at about 3500 rpm or higher it will staret to flutter and the eventually after about ten secs die down and almost stall unless you eoither give it more throttle or back right off to idle. I have been talking with my mechanic and he suggests it is a fuel problem. Now the good thing is that i have another complete car which i have used for some body parts. I have replace just about the whole fuel system (filter, pump, regulator, sensors on the fuel rail, etc) and still no luck in fixing the problem if anything made it a bit worse. We are at a loss to what the problem is and are a biut stuck. Does anyone have any ideas or have they come across this problem before????? Is there a way of checking for a ECU faul????? Any help would be appreaciated. e-mail: [email protected]

hey mate just got my car dynoed,they said my 33 has way too much fuel running through system,so i need to remap the ecu to fix problem,will increase power and run heaps more efficient,u should look into it,rekon u cant go wrong

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
