Hey,

I've searched the forum looking and hopping to find a cure for what ever is wrong with my car, I've done some things people have listed and so far nothing... This is my pickle...

I pas going to put this down as bad fuel but I've had about a tank and half since then from another BP...

When I'm driving, foot on the peddle just coasting along, and all of a sudden-out-of-the-blue, rev's drop (a lot) , no power, and a little bit of a cough, splutter and a small fit. If I try to plant it it just makes it worse and it keeps on coughing. If I put the clutch in the rev's drop that much it almost stalls. If I put the clutch in and give it a small kick on the go-fast-foot-rest, he's all good.

Ever since this started happening which was about a week ago it feels like it doesn't have the same pull. (I don't know if I've gotten used to the boost or what...)

I've just changed the fuel filter and that was a bitch... I've added a small bit of injector cleaner too and the problem is still there. But I will admit the pulling sensation does seem a bit better.

So here's the question.... Any I dears ?

The more I dears the better,

Thanks in advance

Justin.

OK, I don't know what you mean when you are refering to a " cas " if your trying to say my car has shot its self, then yeah... As for the tacho needle, yeah it drops.

On my way to get some plugs it happened all over again. I just finished changing the plugs and took it for a boot. When I was giving it stick there was a heap load of miss firing going on. And as I was changing the plugs I noticed the air pods are all dirty, like black, dirty. Turns out for some reason oil is coming out from one of air pods...

Not healthy, I know...

I'm not to sure if its all the blow by / blow back gas or maybe one of my turbos have gone kapoot... My old man said something about the PCV Valve might be shot and causing the oil business...

Just what I always wanted... A whole new kettle of stupid fish.

Anymore I dears?

Had the same symptoms on my 33 gts-t, was the cas.. I took it apart afterwards and it turned out that a piece of metal had shimmed off inside and was randomly blocking the led inside of it.

Another thing to check that causes similar symptoms would be your air flow meters. Over time the solder joints on the inside of it go brittle and snap, causing random voltage fluctuations inside the ecu causing you to run rich and misfire under load.

If you're blowing dirty amounts of black smoke (fuel) then I'd be looking at the afm's, if it's just a little random black smoke then I'd say the cas (Retarded ignition as opposed to no ignition at all :P

Wouldn't be overly worried about the oil coming out of one of your pods, I'd say it's actually venting somewhere, perhaps as your father said the PCV valve then getting sucked back in through the pods, causing it to build up on the outside of the filter. Sit down one weekend with about 10 cans of that nice $2 degreaser you get and clean out the engine bay, as it'll have shitloads of dirt & grime built up, and once it's clean you'll be able to spot oil leaks alot easier :)

OK... Check this shit out.

The other weekend I took off the air filters and the air mass meters to give them a clean. WhileI was doing it I noticed in the front turbo pipping a nice little puddle of oil right in front of the turbo housing. I cleaned up as much as I could and cleaned the air mass meters with loads of break cleaner, threw them back in a and went for a spin. It all seemed good untill after a 10 mins or so and the same problem came back.

My thought is... Because all the oil is (possible) leaking out the turbo, going through the cooler and to the plennum / bov's and when it creats boost and back off the bov's let it out (but not all the bost), and so come of the pressure is kept inside the plumbing forcing back and blowing / spraying the air mass meeters with oil and and giving it a faulty reading and there fore giving me the shits. (ya dig?)

I left my car with a mechanic mate of mine for the week and let them play arround with it. They told me exactually what I told them... I appriceate it, but they are like titts on a bull...

    • 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.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
