hey guys

i have an R34 gtt and i was driving one night and I noticed the engine light was on i do admit i was giving her a hard time but the car has been serviced about 4000 klms ago (just minor oil change etc) and the car since the light has been on does not miss a beat it drives and feels fine

just to be safe another member has suggesting reseting the cpu which i have done and still have eng light

has anyone had a similar problem and what was it?

how can i fix it?

any help is appreciated

cheers jason

Ps: the car has a exhaust front mount pod and boosted to 12 psi (if that matters)

tried the site search option yet?

no spoon feeding today until you have used search

yes i have and i searched again today and nothing that really matches my situation every post ive found they have either had the tcs and slip light come on as well, had their car running rough when the light was on, or had their light flashing. mine runs smooth as (as stated before) everything looks fine connections, hoses, etc ive reset ecu (several times now) even let car sit over night with no batt connected and my engine light just wont go away.

obviously there is sensor or something that has failed i just want to find out if anyone has had the same problem and if so what was it? or is there anything thats i need to check that is not obvious?

if the engine lights on the ecu will be giving out a fault code, not going to go into detail here, its been covered many times. but you can check your ecu codes by bridging the top right two pins on your consult connector and switching the ignition to on.

Download the manual it goes into detail on how to read the codes and what they all mean.

as the subsequent replies also point out : the proper thing to do is get some basic facts clear before you post a question - yours was so broad there could be dozens of answers : why waste peoples time?

when you get the fault code post again (only if you need to ) - you can get it with about 1-2 min of effort - lol (and no tools needed) - how has been described many times

"search" is your best friend - lol

:P

ok....

ive done the diagnostic thing where you bridge the two top right pins and the light has dissapeared which is a good thing i guess but it did not go through a sequence of flashing the code? every thing still works ok just wanted to check if this is a normal thing or not. :P

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
