Yo i stalled my car today.. but clutch was completely in.. and normally when i stall the lights come up on dash board.. this time it didnt..

Any1 know what it is and how much to fix?

so when your car is in neutral and stalls...

on alot of cars...tbe the throttle position sensor may need cleaning.

what sort of car or maintenance on the engine?

This has happened to me a couple of times also when the clutch was fully pressed in and been coming to a stop. Me thinks its nothing to do with the clutch though, and as others have said it feels like something to do with engine. Only has happened twice in two years i've had the car so i'm not too worried about it....

Huh?

If the clutch is all the way to the floor, and it stalls, it's the clutch slave cylinder... or the master.

Happened to me in my car a few months back.

yeah i dont think its got to do with anything regarding the clutch

things like this are more likely the throttle position sensor...AAC ... blocked vaccume hoses can also produce this affect...and ECU faults can do this as well.

Mine used to do it until, I got rid of the clutch line loop back block that sits in between the clutch master and slave cylinder.

Pulled that out and bought a braided clutch line from jj that goes straight from the master to the slave and I couldn't be happier with the clutch action now.

It doesn't try to stall the engine when you come to a stop with the clutch in, in gear.

it doesnt really sound like your problem, but when i replaced my o2 sensor it fixed all my stalling problems 100% (touch wood), but mine really only stalled when i bipped the accelerator and went on the brakes.

EDIT: actualy after reading through all this, most people seem to think its to do with the clutch, most likely not, wats ur idle like when warm and cold?, wat about with the a/c on? and when u steer does ur engine struggle a bit or do the revs go up? if ur idle is low all the time u probably just need to reset and adjust it. if ur idle is fine (warm/cold start and with a/c) but the engine struggles when its under load (braking at the lights, turning the steering wheel, maybe even bipping the throttle) then its probably the aac valve, air flow meter, or even the o2 sensor. how many km's has your car done?

quick question, ur not running anything under 98RON fuel are you? this will cause ur car to run and idle like shit

when i first got my car, it had an atmo venting bov (a blow off valve that goes psssshhhhht into the air). i had this same type of stall happen to me a few times, randomly, always when coming onto the brakes with clutch in. the more sudden the action, the more likely it was to almost stall, occasionally stalling.

plumbed the bov back in. never had this issue again.

so, if you dont have a blow off valve, forget everything i said. if you do, i would consider this a high priority on your check list.

edit: i just read your original post again, and realised you may have just been idleing at the lights, not coming onto the brakes at all. if so, its prob not the bov.

dont know why i imagined braking lol.

do you often use the clutch to change the gears in your auto?? :P

if so i think that is where your problem is...

just rip your clutch pedal out that should solve the problem

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
