Turning Off Wtf.....

[batakr33]

Hey guys,

Well I got an R33 GTST and im having this problem. The car turns off while im driving. It has happened twice now ahwile apart it happens from stop start going through gears then all of a sudden it turns off. Anyone know what could be wrong with it ? It seems to be idle'ing a little low would that have something to do with it ?

check the basics and go see a mechanic

reset the stock ecu, check belts, plugs, fittings in the engine bay

check for any loose plugs or connectors

check the afm plug

check throttle body etc for anything loose

check battery voltage at idle

Mine is doing the same thing with power fc,

sometimes im driving at 60k's just no throttle then 3 secs later throttle works

and wen idling just stalls sometimes

overfueling?

Is your blow off valve correctly installed and recirculating to the system like it's standard?

[paulr33]

try and replicate the problem while watching ETCl, SENSOR SW CHECK

on the hand controller

do any of the sensor names go black background or do you notice any wierd values

ie; a shagged throttle body or tps would show TPS with a black background when it goes out of range

Sorry to get in on the other guys thread,

i reset the power fc back to stock r33 base map, fuel pump is new and was fine the past month

im still running the 044 fuel pump but with stock injectors and afm,

will try checking the sensors wen it happens,

it happened just before at 10kmph the car behind me almost smashed into me as its like i hit the brakes then it throttle cam back on 2 secs later and was all back to normal

it could be as simple as loose or faulty AFM plug, no reading and it just turns off...

I think your timing belt is loose. I had the same issue with a 95 R33. My mechanic believed it was timing belt, had it changed it and problem was fixed.

Had a mate that had this exact problem with his STi, car would just randomly turn off, turns out his ignition barrel was shagged or something and it was rattling loose when driving and turning the car off, new ignition barrel later and a new set of keys and it wa fixed.

Mine did the same thing, in the end was dropping out every couple of k's whilst driving, turned out to be the afm as well.
