Hi guys driving my car before i felt a slight miss/surge and didnt worry about the problem.

Driving home on light/medium throttle car hesitates and surges and wont go anywhere even if i try to put the accelerator pedal flat to the floor while its happening. Dont think its spark plugs cause it dosent do it on high revs.

Advice please.

Thanx

Anthony

only thing i can suggest is that my petrol was very low. near reserve, and was doing it then.

i put 30 litres of fuel in and it done it once again. Few minutes later everything seemed fine and is running back to normal.

Is this a fuel pump problem or maybe i just picked up some crap out of the bottom of the tank?

ok went for another drive now the problem is getting worse.

at idle the revs just dropped to 0. basically car nearly turned itself off then started straight away by itself.

Then had to nurse it home cause i couldnt go past 2,000 revs as it will just splutter and hesitate/surge. :)

you can clean them with contact cleaner, theres also a diy thread around about how to resolder the point inside the afm incase they have dry solder or have gotten lose.. pretty simple and easy to eliminate

or you could buy a z32 one but once you start replacing parts it gets expensive =P

how low is the fuel tank atm?

Well you said it was playing up regardless kinda?

I reckon its either AFM or pump mounting based on what you've said.

Try cleaning them, but i doubt it'll fix it... the insides where the elec stuff is will be the stuff thats causing problems = replace

    • 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.
