usually after i fill a full tank of fuel in my car, i start it, then revs go up then drop dying off.

to prevent this i usually peddle the revs for a few seconds to combat it then its fine (and wont die). it only does it if after a filling up with a full tank.

so the question is why does it do that? other than that, the car runs fine.

similar thing happens to my r32 often.

Do u run the tank dry then fill it right up??

before i found what was wrong with mine i had to refill once tank got half empty because my fuel pump sensor level had broken and was a bit dodgy and if the fuel was moving around in the tank it would trick itself and think its empty and car wouldnt receive its fuel becasue the pump would suck it up.

Jaysiin, my s2 does the exact same thing. Usually the symptoms are worse if I "overfill" the tank, i.e I keep putting small amounts of fuel in after the pump has "clicked" a few times.

Try filling it up just to when it begins to click, or even a little under and see if that helps?

PMR33, What is that front bar lip / diffuser thing?! I love it! Tell me more?!

you really shouldnt fill your tank up above that first click, however i generally do one click after that to make sure its full and the pump isnt tryin to piss me off, if you fill it right up to the brim (alot more than 2 clicks) what can happen is the fuel will run down the breather tube to the charcoal canister if you run one... and providing the canister is hooked up properly, it can cause the car to run like shit, its what destorys charcoal canisters, you'll know when its gone as you get a fuely smell thru out the car

Where can I get a set of these? How much coin would I be looking at?

i belive its something to do with the preasure in the tank, you know when you open it when nearly empty u can hear the preasure some out. i belive its got to do with this as the tank then has to repreasurerise when the car starts check you carbon canistor that has a vac line that goes to the tank thats ment to do something in that scence of preassurising or de press the tank?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
