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

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 馃槅 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 馃檪 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
