Hey guys,

Anyone has the problem when you are trying to slow down or stop the car and the revs goes to 0 and the engine dies?

Its happening to mine and i have to throw the clutch or turn the ignition to start it back.

Its getting more frequent.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Terence

is your car turbo? if yes, what sort of bov do you have and how old are your plugs?

i had an issue with my 33 stalling when lifting off due to the plugs getting old and worn and even though i still had the stock bov it was going a bit rich on lift off and the plugs weren't able to cope. new plugs fixed it for me.

Sounds like a problem I had about a year ago... ...But I was also losing power when putting the foot down...

Turned out to be the bracket that the CAS (Cam Angle Sensor) is mounted to was broken about half way through... ...I think it is aluminium... ...So maybe more of a tear...

I also learned how to test to see if it is the CAS bracket...

* * * Warning - if you lose your finger don't blame me!!! * * *

While the motor is running press on the plastic timing belt cover from the front towards the back and see if that changes the tone of the motor...

If it does... ...Take the plastic cover off and press on the CAS it's self and see if it changes the tone of the motor more or less than with the cover on...

Then if it does again... ...remove the CAS and the CAS bracket and have a good look at the bracket... ...most likely you'll only see a very very fine crack somewhere... ...But under load the crack could open up a bit and get the CAS out by a few degrees... ...Totally messing up the timing of you motor...

Oh... ...And don't do what I did have have a broken bracket with no other car to go and get a new bracket with...

Hope this helps...

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
