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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      By OST Micah · Posted

      While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
