Gday all

been driving my missus 1996 RS4 Auto Stagea

and at random times when i'm slowing to a stop the revs die and the car stalls

it's recently been serviced engine is completely stock

but has been filled with just plain unleaded fuel (unsure if that matters)

any insight would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Tyson

when i first got my 33 my boss shouted me fuel but his fuel card only worked at the shitty servo with normal 91 and premium 95 or something, and even on the 95 stuff whenever i came to the traffic lights or a stop sign revs would drop to 100-200 and nearly stall, id hate to think how it would run on 91, this is with the stock ecu too btw. now with any 98RON fuel she runs fine never drops under 5-600 rpm

i would head over to the stagea section on here there is a few threads about stageas stalling aswell as all the possiblities it could be. Personally i know a few who are running their stag's on normal fuel and have never had an issue.

Stageas stalling is common to an extent and most seem to be able to fix it rather easily....have you checked the filters and fuel filter.. they maybe blocked or dirty? your afm?

but like i said head the stagea section and you find how people fix them or determined what was going on..

Good luck!

Sounds like your AFM

had the same prob with my stagea and R33

change out the AFM and see if that fixes it

you could probebly borrow one, only takes about 5mins, will be able to confirm befor spending money at workshops

Usually caused by fault Air Flow Meter or Aftermarket Blow Off Valve.

Both are easy to fix, the AFM is the easiest and cheapest to test, you can borrow somebody elses, will only take 15 minutes, if no difference then it's probably related to the blow off valve. Aftermarket blow off valves that vent to the atmosphere (instead of recirculating) will cause most skylines/stageas to stall.

Also as a quick (temp) fix you can unscrew your AAC valve a little (it's a small screw on the intake plenum) this will raise the idling RPM and should make it a little harder to stall (will probably use a bit more fuel and have a less steady idle though).

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
