alright guys its been doing this since last week and now its getting pretty annoying cause i'm a noob and i ahve no idea what it could be lolz.

the car is all good when i start and everything...car runs normal and so on..but every now and then the car will just seem like its engine braking or simply losing power for about 2 seconds then it goes back to normal. during these times i'll still be on the accelerator and it still loses power. the car doesn't switch off or anything..it'll just go down in revs abit then go normal again. sometimes it'll happen when im clutching in to slow down and at this point it'll drop down the revs till it stalls.

i have a feeling it might be a faulty afm? or could even be my spark plugs? but i wouldn't have any idea on how to check. if anyone can tell me how please do.

otherwise if this sounds similar to what you ahve experienced or are experiencing please tell me what u think it might be and i'll check it out. thanks

my r32 does the exact same thing... sometimes bad, sometimes just jolts a bit and carries on.. feels like its running out of fuel.. im pretty sure its the afm, as i can feel it change from the afm to 02 sensor at 2500rpm, runs smoother, but can still muck up at higher rpm, but ive had it before where it wouldnt let me past 2500rpm, just hit a rev limiter.

saving up for a safc so i can get a brand new z32 afm.. will also change 02 sensor and fuel pump for shits and giggles.

breaking news...drove to skool today and it didn't do it at all?

really weird...i have a feeling now that if its not any of the other usual suspects could it be a bad batch of fuel? maybe fuel with water as they have reported on the news?

cause i filled up with bp the week it started happening...yesterday filled up with vortex and it didn't happen. i'll see what happens on the way back home if it does it again..if it does i'll know it can't be fuel.

could it be a bad fuel issue

sounds exactly like what happened to me, and it was AFM.

Get your hands on a working one and borrow it for a little bit, see if it does it again. If not then you've solved your problem. If so, then you know to keep looking.

Bro check all your vaccuum hoses...my 32gtst was playing up when releasing accelerator pedal

hmm..it didn't happen again for the 1 hour that i was driving around after skool..pretty weird?...i had my timing belt done recently,,,maybe its not put on properly? or it could of been a bad batch of fuel?

get this... my car drives fine for the 1/2 hour trip i do to work everyday... not a problem... come night time though, when me and my g/f go for a drive, it happens all the time... cant boost it or anything, freaking annoying, just dont think the car likes her, which is fine with me, she is taking up cage space.

check the afm wiring, that its not shorting out somewhere.

cheers

hey man this sort of thing keeps happening to me too with my r33. well now i've actually figured out how to actually stall the car. its not random. try this alright:

when you are 4th or 5th gear, boost the car a little bit to gain a bit of speed. then let put the car in to free gear(neutral). if it stalls or rpm drops below normal you probably are having the same prob as me.

think it mite be something to do with the turbo winding down or BOV settings?

that would be your BOV... I have r33 that does the same thing, ive adjusted the bov and it helps a bit, but still does it once or twice. I cant get my hands on a stock bov which is even more annoying.

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
