Ok,

now my car wont even idle or start-up.

recently lost my licence and havent been driving so i charged the battery and all was good, then about 1 week later i started it up and was running like crap (rough idle, black smoke, rich as) so i turned it off and tried again a few days later and it started and bounced around 300-500rpm for 10-20 seconds and stalled, black smoke and non burned raw fuel out he exhaust, f**k.

now it will start barley, maybe idle rough for a while and stall?

it is a series 1 r33 gtst with the folling specs:

rb25det

power fc

avcr

gt3076

555cc nismo injectors

z32

turbosmart 38mm ultragate

bosch 044

standard nissan coil packs

8.5 to 1 compresssion ratio

ross pistons

gtr rods

turbosmart supersonic BOV

ect.

have checked for vacuum leaks, checked bov, and i am stuck.

i have read other threads looking for an answer but most ppl seem to talk about stalling when you slam in the clutch and slow down which was happening to me too.

i am guessing it has to be no spark and/or dropped cylinders as unburned fuel is coming out exhaust? or AAC valve? or bov issue, but that should be ok with powerfc?

any ideas are much appreciated as it is driving me f'ing nuts.

When the battery starts to die, the ECU will cause the engine to run like crap because it gets confused by the high charge rate trying to recharge the battery.

You will more than likely have to replace the battery to solve the problem.

Years ago my 180SX did this in a petrol station, fine when I left it to pay, wouldnt run when i can back out.

Once I towed it home I found the engine temp sensor connection was so corroded it was effectively unplugged, making the ecu think it was really cold and needed lots of fuel.

I guess the PFC still uses the stock sensor, might be an easy fix.

Wouldn't think it would be stale fuel. My old man had BP98 sitting in his tank for over 2 years... when he finally got around to starting the car on that fuel it was fine!

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
