Hey Guys,

Just then i went on my break and went and put some fuel in my car it was running on E so i went to the petrol station and then filled up with BP Ultimate

Car was boosting and driving fine before i put the petrol in. I drove back to work car started coughing and spluttering and then just conked out and stalled and now i cant start the car at all.

If i leave it for 5 minutes and start it, it kicks over then stalls. I need help as i need to get home from work!

Anyone who can help me out would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Trent

sounds to me like you may have picked up a shit batch of fuel.It may have clogged your filter or even have stuffed the pump itself. I had a similar problem a few years ago with a VN that I had. Pulled the tank out and emptied it.So much water mixed in with the fuel.Other things too like grass,cigarette butts etc..

I agree, definitely sounds like a clogged filter. When you run your tank empty it brings up all the sediment and gunk from the bottom and stuffs the filter pretty quick.

Sorry i don't any quick fixes. Get it to a mechanic.

Good luck mate.

my 2c is that you let it run too low... the new fuel has stirred up the 15 years of shit in the bottom of your tank and then you boosted it str8 away and have now put all that mixed up shit in your fuel system... change the fuel filter drive off boost...

problem still there... see a mechanic or remove/empty your tank

If it is a clogged filter its an easy fix.

1. Change fuel filter.

2. Throw some Wynns fuel system cleaner in your tank.

3. Disconnect spark, turn car over a few times to get fuel in the system.

5. Reconnect spark, and away you go.

If you cant hear the pump though its probably stuffed, what sort of pump is it ho old?

If its the standard one, you should get a fresh one anyway.

problem solving time. ok.

1. possible bad fuel. but if so u shouldnt have gotten out of the bp driveway before stalling

2. blocked filter...possible. however the fuel pump has a filter sock that should filter out the larger debris.. so replace that.

3. might be a stretch...but check the fuses. especially the fuel pump fuse. u said it wasnt priming. so it is either broken...or has a broken circuit..

then run some injector cleaner thru

Pump is a GTR item, Issue is it was running sweet before this started then fuel was in then BAM and the issue starts..

Looks like car will stay here overnite then i'll have to coem back tommorrow with some tools and shit :D

I got NFI on cause, but would just try the remedys ppl suggested above.

Something interesting though i think, is that only a few weeks ago, i manually scooped 1/4 tank of fuel outa my "89 GTR. After a lot of looking around, rubbing etc... the tank was spotless, none of the shite ppl tank about.

Have a S14 mate who swears all Silvia's get so much gunk in the tank... not my older Skyline... i figure mines been flushed at some stage? hrrm..

*keeps on rolling*

for gods sake people... the fuel pump pick up is at the bottom of the tank... regardless of if you run a full tank or on the fuel light, the pick up is still collecting the same quality of fuel. Not to mention the filter sock on the pump is so fine it would bearly pick anything up to clock tjhe fuel pump instantly... that sort of stuff takes years to accumilate shit into a filter

Thankyou.....

About to say the same thing.. I run my tank empty often with no problems... Changed the fuel filter on Monday (after 40000km's since compliance) and it was very clean....... BP Ultimate FTW

Yeah thanks to all who helped out.

Pulled out the tank at work in bollocksen boiling hot heat found out ti came outta its cradle and had detatched itself form the power. Fun!

Then the O Ring streached out so much that i had to cut it to fit it back in lol

Anyway its fixed now, all ig tota do now is fix my exhaust leak sound like a bollocksen rexy..

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
