Hey All.....

Well the other night i was coming onto the highway.... gave it a boot in 1st and noticed that it kinda cut out at about 6grand...... so drove normal in 2nd.. and then cruised at 80.... dropped back to 3rd and tried to give it a bootfull and the car cut in and out voilently making the car surge forwards and backwards....

took my foot off the gas and just cruised... took it easy for 5min and it didnt do it again...

i had 1/4 tank of petrol although its only ever cutout when ive been sitting on empty and boosting hard... no error codes and boost was normal on 18psi......

it rather worried me and it hasnt happened since so im not that worried but wondering if anyone can shed some light on it... maybe a sensor playing up, possibly ignitor on its way out? CAS? ... i dunnno!

mods

spitfires, highflow, injectors, retune, the lot... all supporting mods etc....

Weird thing is it hasnt done it since, and has never done it before this so im guessing there has to be something somewhere

Any thoughts...

Thanks

Hey buddy I had the exact same thing happen to me, usually after giving it a bit of boot. Tried everything to fix it, I can tell you that it wasn't the ignitor, injectors, fuel pump, or the air flow meter but a week later I had the CAS fall off and the resulting error in the timing killed my turbo, so check it out before this happens. I also checked for boost leaks and again it was fine.

My advice, check the CAS incase it's the same as mine.

i would also say CAS, but if that is ok maybe the ignitor or AFM. if it has gone away it may be a bit hard to find the problem.

yeah i was thinking cas or afm.... ill check them both out and give the afm a clean..... i was almost thinking fuel pump was on its way out (bosch 019) but it would keep doing it if it was......

Any other ideas? or tests i can do?

Well looks like i might have to start looking for a CAS sometime soon... although it only did it briefly and hasnt done it at all since, how much am i looking at for a good used one Blitz?

Ive got a Bosch 019, pretty much exactly same as 040 just slightly lower flow rates... but still goot for 300rwkw or so... ive only had a surge problem when its been ON empty, not with 1/4, thought it might have been a cause thats all...

I had a similar problem with my car.....it would run fine one minute then lean miss/surge the next as you're cruising. Scoped the AFM's with FC-Datalogit, I have a power FC, and found 1 of the afm dropping out to 0.3v or so then back up to normal.

Resoldered the 4 pins under the AFm lid and problem fixed. The signal wire pin had dry jointed to the terminal for the plug. It looked soldered but wasn't.

Simple fix.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
