hey,

i am driving along, slowing down is usually when this occurs.

And the car shuts off. What would cause this to happen. I have tried looking for lose connections, but everything seems fine. its just when i approach rounabouts, and prepare to stop the car shuts off.

I turn the igntition back on, and theres no problem.

Then it will happen again.

What could cause this to happen.

It really makes shit to drive , as you also get no brakes. (i am getting a 1 way valve tommorow, along with power steering lines.)

but yeah, car ccutting out...

Cant see it being fuel pump, as i got an 040 one, and plenty of petrol.

cheers

i dont have power steering hooked up...

i dont have a BOv, so the non venting this doesn't apply.

It also happens when your in down changing.... I thought yeah, i'll just drive into corners, but then you get this massive thuddd from the clutch, as the car wants to cut out, but cant cause i am in a gear....

no blow off valve, power steering coming next week, so i dont really know what it could be.

some have said it could be cause of excess dumping of fuel...

i do have a bosch 040 fuel pump.... and not producing really all that much power...

so maybe to much fuel getting to the motor.

will go for tune, once i get power steering lines done.

i'll get air flow metre checked also.

cheers

it definately could be a fuel problem dude

though it shouldnt happen if ur just slowing down or coasting

anyway , sometimes depending on ur selection of turbo etc , when u back off pretty sharply the throttle body closes and all that ait goes back thru ur cooler , thru ur turbo and the out the afm , afm's meter the air that passes over the hotwire , so it doesnt matter which direction it is flowing , therefore it see's all this air and inturn tells the computer to squirt more fuel (supposedly to mix with the air)

anyway , too much fuels dumped into cylindar m washes out spark , doesnt fire and stalls.

but like i said it shouldnt happen if ur just slowing down , will happen if u gun it , back off and then slow down.

try tapping the accelerator as suggested , keep the revs up a bit

something is tricking the computer into believeing that there is air coming in which needs more fuel to mix with , or ur injectors arent functioning correct and are staying open (elec problem) , or ur ignition circuit somewhere isnt right , might be as simple as a crank angle sensor , or it may be the loom plug that connects to ur coil/s. could be a pain in the arse to find or it could be right before ur eyes

or u have a fault in the engines electrical side of it , maybe a slight un-earthed wire , causes it to stall etc.

good luck hunting it down

Your AFM is fine, the problem is you dont have a BOV at all, when you back off the throttle after using some boost, you get the fluttering noise through the induction. That noise is air rushing back and forth past your AFM. Unfortunately, AFM's aren't clever enough to know whether air is going backwards or forwards past them and simply meter it as air going into your motor. Its just as bad as having an atmo venting BOV.

Connect your recirculating BOV and it will fix all problems.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
