Hey guys,

i've been having this problem for a little while now and i was hopeful if anybody here could help me to pinpoint the problem?

Sometimes, when im driving along, the car will cut out and stall all together..

When i turn it back on it does this:

When i turn it back off, and on again, its fine ..

I was thinking maybe its a shoddy alarm installation?

I tried changing pods and cleaning the AFM.. could anybody help me out?

Car has a stock BOV, happens every so often and i dont know how to re-create the problem to show any mechanics! :bunny:

mine starts idleing like that as the alarm imobilisers kick in.

i have one of those brant pin pad alarms. it has a highjack setting.

once i get in the car, start it, close the door and put my seat belt on its enabled. so once any door is opened and my seatbelt in un-buckled after 40 secs or so it starts beeping at me and then the car cuts out

can be a pain sometimes...took me ages to work out when i first got the car...even took it to an auto elec and he didnt know.

I'm going thru the same problem as we speak.

A few mates have told me it could be a range of different things including air flow meter, fuel pump, coil packs, spark plugs, dirty throttle body blah blah blah.

I have an R33 RB25DET - very low k's so i don't think its the coil packs, i changed oil, fuel filters etc, i've taken it to a few mechanics and coincidently it runs fine and there are no errors that come up. Today i changed the spark plugs and it made a huge diffrence, now i can actually drive it up the road before it cuts out and starts coughing and spluttering. The spark plugs were black and smelt like fuel so its running really rich. I'm gonna get a new airflow meter bolted on next week to see if that's the problem - i'll keep ya posted.

If anyone else can help that'd be great. Even just some direction on what to replace next or even some suggestions on who i can take it to to get fixed around the Wollongong area. I'll take it to Syd if i have too.

Good luck

My r32 stalls like that once or twice a month... I still haven't figured it out. No codes, it just dies. Some times it will start up and be fine, others I have to sit and wait 30-40 minutes before it will start again. Not sure if it's related, but I can't get the timing lower than +25 even with the cas all the way ccw.

New fuel pump, new fuel filter, cleaned injectors, new fuel pressure reg, new ignitor, new battery, new spark plugs, borrowed coils from another car, new ignition loom, new (used) cas, new (used) ECU, new battery leads, pulled some extra earth leads, tested alternator, cleaned every electric connector on the car, clean & resoldered afms, cleaned aac, compression tested, boost leak tested, tested almost every wire in the loom.

Nothing helps. I'm so frustrated with it that I'm going to sell it next month if I don't get fix it.

Sorry to rant in your thread! I hope you have better luck than me!

i would be looking firstly at the IAC and AAC valves. they control the idle IAC, as well as the idle when things like the aircon is turned on or the steering is turned and more load is put on the engine at idle (AAC). these valves often get dirtied or blocked by carbon and don't operate properly because they become sticky. this is why sometimes turning the car off, or even just giving it a rev can be enough to make it idle better as you are making the valve move even more which can be enough to temporarily sort the issue out.

i'm guessing that isn't your car in the video and you are just using it as an example of what the car runs like? if so then the above is what i would do. if it is your car (even though the video is from october 08 and plenty of people have said what the problem is in the comments) then i would plumb the bov back in to where it's supposed to recirculate to (between the AFM and turbo) and that will solve the issue.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
