Hey people,

Have myself a large problem, well large for me :D

When the car starts it will run for about 5 seconds then stall, if you increase the revs and hold at a certain level the car will still stall!!!

has new spark plugs, and starts fine!

bear in mind that the car has not been started in 3 months was wondering a few things, would this be caused by:

A) removing the stock solinoid eg unplugging it from ecu

B) fuel filter drying up and not allowing fuel through

C) dirty airflow meter - how do it clean?

D) suggestions please

thanks fellas, dying to drive her again :D

sounds like its something that directly affects the way air/fuel is measured.

so i'd say maybe a leaking inatake hose that is causing a loss of air, or a dirty AFM (do a search for how to clean), or an afm that's unplugged or something?

does it blow a puff of black smoke when u start it?

If the car has an Alarm system that runs with its own Battery and has the power to cut of Fuel then u need to buy a brand new car battery then connect it to a charger and charge it for about an hour to give power to the alarm battery...

This is a common problem with Those kind of alarms....

Otherwise you could have a mechanical problem of some sort..Get it checked out

yeah, just got a new car battery as well!!!

i know what your saying though, but it wouldn't start at all would it?

this thing runs for a couple of seconds then drops off, and only if left for a while!!!

it's at a mechanics now, hope fully to pick it up today!!!

had a mad run of bad luck!!

had a bloody window fall out on the way to the mechanic's today, bloody sikaflex must have gone off and not actually dried!!!

so thats an extra $300 to get this replaced then get it tinted again!!! AAARRRGGGGGGHHHH.......

well maybe something will go right for me :)

maybe

Yeah thats much better, whats even better i have the car back now, running like an animal!!

it's amazing how much faster they get when you dont drive them for a long time :D

anyway turned out to be slight corrosion on the points of the ecu, and fuel pump relays!! had these cleaned up and it started, running rough though!! cleaned the AFM, then had issues with the calibration of the idle controller (no changes prior to incident) and it idles sweet now, although the revs dont drop after being in neutral for a couple of seconds like it used to!!

But hey, im still and extremely happy man, just gotta take some photos and post up the new paint job, now that it's all back together.

thanks for the responses people!!

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
