hey all.

mates got a 4 door r33 gtst which started stalling yesterday.. since he put on a dump pipe.. it only stalls when at idle, drives the same, a bit extra power.

what happens is that it stalls after 10-30 secs of idling... otherwise it drives fine.

mods:

FMIC

Full exh

pod filter

stock boost(7~psi)

wasted spark setup

HKS bov(working fine before)

weve tried to unplug the aac valve, and that doesnt make a diff.. the lambda sensor is unplugged, it doesnt make a diff even if plugged in(as its only for fuel economy anyway)

any ideas? weve tried resetting th ecu. all the plugs seem to be in place and nothing loose.

Help??

I don't care if the BOV was working before, I bet its causing the problem.

Take the Piece of junk off and put a plumb back on, or put up with the stalling.

Do a search for stalling and you'll find plenty of threads.

I say it is the bov I had that problem when I got mine installed. Basically mine would stall every now and then but xspeed sort of fixed the problem by adjusting the the car to idle at about 900-1000 rpm instead of 600 rpm. Did not work 100% but heaps better. The only way to fix it 100% is get one that is plumbed into the car.

why would the bov cause the car to stall AFTER it's been idling for 10-30 seconds?

I'm a hater of bovs as much as the next guy but it doesn't make sense.

When it stalls, is it sudden?

as in, does it idle along perfectly then completely cuts out, or do the revs drop a little and car starts to splutter, then stall?

Is the car auto or manual?

thanks for the replies guys! :blush:

well.. say ur idling in the carpark with the keys in the ignition.. after 10-30 secs it will struggle ALL of a sudden.. seems like the spark is there, the fuel is there but it stalls. seems like a sensor or something is all of a sudden...

i will try putting on my stock bov tonight if i have time.

i also have my suspicion on the bov but then im not 100% on it.

I'm going to suggest the AFM.

my 200sx did this on occasions.

the cable to the AFM on my car was dodgy and would sometimes cause a temporary bad reading. enough to cause it to drop revs, then back up and sometimes just struggle for 2 seconds then stall.

see if you can force it to happen.

pop the bonnet.

start the car.

then move your afm cable around.

or even move the afm around (if you have a pod filter instead of stock airbox).

in the DIY section of these forums, do a search for "AFM+SOLDER" to find the thread on how to repair a faulty AFM.

also, if you haven't already done so, take the AFM off and spray the inside with electric contact cleaner.

this will clean off any oily shit and dirt that might be there causing the problems.

spray on and it's clean and dry within 20 seconds.

The soldering is also pretty easy..

have a search/read

yeh i had my suspiscion on the afm as well, however it runs fine so that kinda rules it out, but ill have a play around either tonight or tmorw.

i sent him to my tuner today so hopefully he can give him some tips.

would a clogged up aac valve do this? i dont think so, as the aac valve is only good for when cold right?

idle is BOV - its probably got a really small fluctuation that is causwe the bov to open and shut a little bit. Then after a while he BOV opens and shuts a little bit more and more each time, then eventually after 20 seconds, its opening too much on idle and you start to notice how much your piece of shit BOV is making the car run like a dog.

Take it off and I bet the problem is fixed.

Or prove me wrong, and put a piece of coke can inbetween it and block it off completely and tell me if it stops idling bad.

alright so my tuner just had a look at it.. reckns its the aac valve..

thing is now that it idles at 2000rpm and doesnt stall as often.. maybe say 2/5 times only. so were gna quickly clean out the aac tonight, if that doesnt fix it ill chuck on my stock bov. :happy:

lol and once you have put the stock bov back on might want to lower the idle back to normal. 2k is just silly

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
