Hey guys,

been having this problem ever since car got inported from japan! car is completely stock apart from HKS air filter. Ive replaced AFM, ECU, plugs have been done dyno showed no problems. fuel filter replaced, cleane AAC valve, throttle position sensor and crank angle sensor have been adjusted, replacing coolant temp sensor next week to hopefully fix hard start problem but the main problems is that the car can run fine for a while then the idle will fluctuate under the 'normal idling level'. when arrivign to a stop and put the clutch in neutral and the car will idle real low and then back to normal ...this happends all the time and i think its not normal to drop that much...90% of the time it stalls. Also while driving at a constant speed whether the engine is cold or warm the car hesitates badly just like if the if the car wasnt even running almost like no fuel is going through but all that has been checked???

Im lost for ideas...any help????

Mine does it every now and then. It's only when I come to a sudden stop. I know exactly when it's going to do it as well.

Sound like you have the same issue as me and I'm pretty sure mine has to be a vacuum issue...

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
