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.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
