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.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
