Shaking/loss Of Power

[Jack-]

The other day I was cruising around all of a sudden, my car started to shake while idleing at traffice lights, and as I was taking off had little to no power at all. The orange error light or whatever it is came on, and so I shit myself and proceeded home. I turned my car off and was gonna check it later, so I turned it back on after and it seemed normal again... this has happened 2 or 3 times since, while driving to and from uni... car shakes while idleing and loses power when it comes to taking off...

anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

AFM is my best guess.... just same thing happened to me last week, got new one problem fixed..

It's probably missing, hows your battery, hows your fuel pump, APR, and injectors, honestly could be several things.

TPS, AFM etc etc have a look at the DIY section and work through them.

It doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes while driving but its been more frequent... where can I get an AFM?

[tridentt150v]

Check the one you have first, there is good stuff in the DIY thread about them.

[Jack-]

Yeah.....

Where can I get an AFM?

I had the exact same problem for months. So I came to this forum and asked for advice, I was told it was the coil packs and after I changed them I've never had that problem again.

When the problem occurs, see if you can park somewhere and turn off the car for 10-15seconds. Start it again and it see if it runs properly.

Splitfire. I think they're between $600-$700, I'm not sure thought.

oooww this happends to me in my R33 also... well when i am coming to a stop i will have clutch fully pressed in and whne the revs drop to the idle amount it sometimes drops lwer then comes back up to idle, however occasionly when it drops it goes to low and just stalls so you have to start her up again... it all sounds fine and runs good before and after it just a random thing that happens.... And im yt to figure out why lol

this happens to me every now and then too...

seems to not happen when i have a full tank of fuel though. im thinking its my fuel pump.

Splitifires mate, theyre top dollar but like they say you get what u pay for

[s13rb20pplater]

ok... my mate had same problem last night, we bought some splitfire coilpacks and threw them on, problem gone, so thats my best guess without inspecting your car personally
