My Car Just Broke Down

[33drifter]

ok heres the story,

i have a mildly modified r33 s2 gtst, i have a after market ecu that still runs the stock afm, a few days ago i replaced my metal mesh pod filter which was quite large to a signifacntly smaller apexi one, i think this may have something to do with it.

when i drove to work yesterday morning (5am) the car was fine, but on the way home about 4pm the car was sputtering abit and eventually stalled, luckily outside my house, i drove the car later that night for a short period and it was ok again.

the same thing happened today except i didnt make home, i was able to restart the car after i let it cool for a minute but only for a few seconds, and then the problem repeats itself, heat seems to be a factor here but thats about all i can come up with at the moment.

i will replace the old pod filter asap but that may not be possible for a few days

any suggestions ???

pod filter will not cause this, unless its clogged to buggery, The issue may be however the AFM, somehow during your swapping for filters you might have damaged the AFM possible or got some dirt on the hot wire element, Try spraying this with carby cleaner or brake cleaner.

SOunds like CAS, they tend to play up when hot. Check the AFM is plugged in properly, could be ramdom fuel pump failure, what computer is it?

the computer is a hks f-con s, i had a nismo fuel pump put in about 10,000 km ago, excuse my lack of knowledge but what is CAS. it is possible i have damaged the afm but why does it work sometimes and not others?

could have disturbed afm plug, check that for sure

I could almost bet it is your plugs playing up.......

My nephews car would just stop....he would have to wait until it cooled down

then drive it back home...lol

I replaced his plugs...and presto....no more stops.

Replace your plugs.
