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

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

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.

Thanks guys was my AFM the wiring even though soldered must have been touching as the afm keep dropping out

all fixed now :)

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.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
