hey folks, ok basicly my car is stalling while im moving, an it tends to be in 5th gear and when im clutching in, thats when this has happend, luckily ive been driving in a straight line because the steering goes when this happens so ive been lucky so far but i need to get it fixed asap, anyone know why and how to fix this?

note i recently installed a pod and put new oil in the gearbox, theres another thread on here regarding the oil i put in but no one has answered and i realy need this solved, basicly in regards to the oil i put in 3 litres according to the help from autobarn, and that worries me alone.

Anyone know whats going on and how to fix this?

cheers

Ok thats really weird cause my car just started to do that, out of the blue really but has happened only twice will post if anything knew happens otherwise will be following this thread closley

i forgot to mention it sputters while cruising, like vvvvvv.vvvv.vvvvvvvvv.vv every now and then. also, i was testing it a bit and it only stalls when i hold the clutch in to long when changing gears. the revvs just drop like a rock, so i goto keep blipping the velocitator to keep it from stalling, any difference in story?

cheers

Mine is stalling a little often at the moment too... ...but when I go from 1st to Neutral... ...and mostly while turning while doing that... ...eg three point turns...

But it's been a while since I got it serviced (damn cash flow)... ...So I think it will be picked up in my next service...

its the afm 100% you probably havent clamped the pod on properly. Ages ago id taken the lid off my airbox to get that gay woosh sound and for about a day the car would stall like urs too until the computer kind of worked out what the hell was going on and it went away. If the car wasnt doing it prior to the pod being installed then chances are its something to do with that.

good luck!

cheers mate, i think your right, i had a glance last night, and i might have found some spots, i really thought it was the computer cracking the shits, but still hasnt worked out the right amount of fuel/air ratio. awell, will pull apart and start again lol.

oh P.S is there a way to reduce the WHOOSH sound the pod makes? it sounds a bit wankish lol

PEACE

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
