Hey I had/have (not sure if it's still happening b/c I learned to drive in such a way it didn't happen) this problem with I bought my 33GTS-T

Basically if you just start getting on boost (>3200rpm or something) then put the clutch in the rev counter will fall all the way to 0 and your engine will die, is this right?

Two things you can do to to avoid the stalls:

- When you think your driving might cause this to happen, blip the throttle after you go into neutral/put the clutch in, and it'll stop the engine from dying

- If it does die and you're still rolling (even a little) just drop the clutch whilst in second gear and it'll force the engine to turn over and spring back to life.

Very annoying problem when I first got the car. A year later and it doesn't seem to happen anymore, but I'm not sure if that's because I just adjusted my driving to avoid it or in the 3x services between then they fixed it unknowingly.

yeah exactly my problem ae.. to the tee i got a 32 tho

umm yeah thats what ive been doing hey just dropping the clutch but i wanna try fix the problem..

i find it happens wen the engine is a bit cold so i warm it up befor i drive it but then sometimes just randomly wen i clutch it round a corning it will just die and the steering goes all hard so i just drop the clutch

not a clue wot could be causing it tho??

nah exactly like how i said it.

put the foot down every now and again usually its alright but sometimes wen i putt my foot down for a few seconds then hold the clutch for a bit its just dies.. reves drop from where ever its at at the time then drops to 0 and dies.

it happened once wen the engine was cold so i warm it up before i drive it but sitll does the same thing even wen i been driving for half an hour or so.

any ideas mate?

yup ive got a bov that isnt plumed into the air box or anything jsut straight into the atmosphere ..

what can i do to fix that? jut plumb it into the air box or wot?

The main issue is that the AFM is getting an incorrect signal due to the registered intake charge blowing off.

You need to use either a hybrid BOV which vents both to the atmo and recirculates (which still isn't a 100% fix) or replace the stock bypass valve and return the charge to the system after the AFM so it doesn't overfuel.

Yeah basically it is overfueling because the ECU is reading* air that isn't there.

On a side note, wtf are you clutching in around a corner? you should always go around corners in gear with clutch out.

This has just started happening on my car last night.

However the IDLE of my car is extremely rough. At idle, my car is missfiring that badly, it sounds like a 350 with the lumpiest possible cam it in. Yet while driving at anything above 1750RPM, it wont miss a beat.

Any ideas? I have read that it may be worth cleaning the AAC valve, however i do not believe that it is the coil packs or plugs, as if they were not funcitoning correctly, my car would missfire throughout the entire revrange. At idle, there is more resistance than while revving....

I have no idea why it wont idle properly/missfires like a b!tch....

Well it has been missfiring on idle for a few days last night, so i'm more concernced about that.

I have checked that, and all vacuum hoes are connected.....any other ideas lol?

Could it be my stock AFM is screwed?

New spark plugs went in about 1500-2000kms ago, copper plugs. Have always used NGK copper plugs (cant remember the code for the plug) and have never had any trouble.

AAC valve? Coil packs? Piston rings? I dont know what it could be >.<

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
