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.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
