Hi crew,

My Silvertop RB20 is stalling when the car is warm.

Symptoms include:

Clutch in revs drop too low and the car stalls.

Eventually the car wont even idle.

I have new Splitfire coil packs and rebuilt injectors, and there is no missing in the revs under boost anywhere. (for those who know my car it gets alot of air and fuel in those cylinders :P )

My thoughts on this include, battery is not being charged by alternator, battery is dead, CAS f**ked or CAS wiring was f**ked up when I extended the wiring. Fuel pump is dyeing at low revs (12 month old Bosch 023) \ when heated up?

Remember, this only occurs when the engine is warmed up.

There also seems to be a voltage drop across the cars wiring, although this has occurred since I owned it.

Another thought is the 555cc RX7 injectors (rebuilt) and the Power FC not liking the de-celeration and turning the injectors off too long \ all together? I hear there are issues with this that cant be tuned out with the hardware on the FC.

Also, I do not have an IAC setup, only AAC (although I probably need the former more) This has not been a problem in the last 12 months before the last 2 weeks that I have noticed this.

Angry saw this occur 2 weeks ago, and today my missus took the car with me to work as hers is getting a new fuel pump.

At first Angry and I thought fouled plugs or lack of fuel, but the car did it at 1/2 tank this morning.

It could just be low fuel and the pump running out its supply, but crank it and it starts straight away and drives, drive on the highway without changing gear \ letting the revs drop and no problem.

It could also have a tune factor, since I fixed a leak in my intake manifold, but it is still weird to me.

Any thoughts to add to what I have described?

Cheers

i reckon now the manifold is fixed the idle mixtures are whack as..... drop in fixed in a flash, and you know its not gonna cost anything.

this issue has been raised before too

one thing to look for is FPR (Fuel Pressure regulator), i am not that much mechanically minded as to how it works but i was reading a thread on Nissansilvia and a guy had the same issue with his CA18det which is prettty much a smaller version of RB's he changed his FPR and problem was solved. (however i would do the usual things first like clean AFM, throttle body, idle controller spring etc)

if i find the thread i'll link it

edit: heres the link

NO AFM, Throttle body was just cleaned...No Idle control, AAC was cleaned, as mentioned NO IAC....

ummm, not stock FPR due to AM Fuel rail...

And Nismoid STFU about stock reg, its not by choice!

Trent, Ill call you monday :P

Hey

I just went through this, Idled perfectly/strong on the cold start cycle, then hunted/died once warm. Disconnect your TPS once warm at idle and see if it idles. Mine did. Replaced TPS. I had a bad experience with a company(wrong part then three+ week wait for correct part then the plug is still wrong so we are still sorting that out) and I will PM you as they used to be a well regarded chain, now trading under another name in vic.

Best bet would be seeing is Streeter can source you one and send as they are ~150 new trade price here for the genuine part, or 200+ with a 2week wait through nissan.

Let me know how you go.

If its not the tune, then you might well have a voltage drop... in the 31 2-door?

I'm having voltage drop issues of my own when i use the windows causing it to dip a bit, nothing extra juice to the ECU wont fix though so that's something else to look into.

Why no IAC? How are you getting around it?

Yup its in the HR, low revs, and you use something that needs some current, but it has been there for the 5 years I have owned the car. There is so much old wiring in these things its hard to track down. I previously got around it with a big ass battery but changed to a smaller one, now the battery is in a box in the boot so I could always buy a large commodore\falcon size battery.

No IAC because I just didn't really bother when putting the FF plenum on, it stood out like dogs balls on top of the plenum so I decided to tune without it. I may put it back in the system yet, but Trent seems to have worked around it.

You can give the ECU some extra power, i Andrew is rewiring my car tomorrow actually and we are gonna give the ECU a better feed rather than off the loom.

So should get rid of the drop, seems rather common actually more investigation i do into it :)

Yup sounds like the right thing to do :)

Previously bloke who owned the car had a Wolf V4 in it so the loom was hacked to shit, I ended up running a new loom to the fuse box when I put the Silvertop in a few years ago, and I couldnt get a ignition source so I ran one under the dash, but there is still issues elsewhere, could be on the alternator loom, not 100%, its the 3rd alternator in it too ;)

Time for a rebuilt beefed up alt? best thing ever in old cars!!!

    • 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.
