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..

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
