Help! R32 motor randomly cuts out

[BryanB]

i have had this problem for a while, it has not been a worry until recently (it has gotten worse), the car seems to just clonk out randomly at any speed, and before 5000 rpm... the engine just cuts out and cuts back in sometimes but other times it doesn't come back in, but nothing else cuts out like the lights and stereo are still on... its got me buggered

i recently changed the stock air filter for an air pod and put platinum spark plugs in, this seems to have stopped the problem a bit, but not eliminate it....

another thing i have noticed that from a cold start the motor will cough and choke like its got lung cancer, but after the cold start it will start ok.

any help would be much appreciated

itd be ure fuel pump or injectors or something, but im guessing its the fuel pump, its probably getting clogged or something, so u might just wanna check it out to see if it does look like it is, or jsut change it anyways (Theyre not that much .. less than $10 i think)... im not 100% sure but im pretty sure that its that cus its probably getting starved of petrol and therefore doesnt ignite and just shuts down.

so check ure pump and injectors

Also check the AFM, could be faulty or have oxidised connectors. Give everything a good spray with some electrical contact cleaner.
