Hi there..

Hey my R32 GTS-t has started trying to stall when cruising at about 100ks.. It hasnt done it a lot, but it gives ya a bit of a fright when your car tries to die as your driving it on the highway lol.. anyway, it seems to try and die when its cruising, not under any great load or anything.. the cars an auto, so no change in bov.. thinking it could be a fuel filter cause im not sure when it was last done, esp because of the way it drops power very fast for about 2 seconds and then comes right.. the thing im wondering here is most fuel filters ive seen are made of like a clear semi transperant plastic.. but the on in this car is quite an old looking silver tin one.. is there any chance it could still eb the factory one or something?

cheers

it could still be the factory one, but you will find that the replacement one will look pretty much identical. it would be worth replacing either way just to rule it out. sounds a bit weird that it is only doing it at light load. could also be an AFM issue, o2 sensor, AAC valve issue.

will look at changing the fuel filter and see what happens.. the only think ive changed recently is adding a full 3" turbo back exhaust.. but that was about 2000k's ago and its only started doing it now.. is there anyway way to check the o2, afm and aac valve?

since the car was traveling at 80 -100km at the time of the drop, and so doing around 2.5 - 3k rpm, wouldnt that rule out the aac vavle? just trying to think of what might cause this so i have somehwere to start.. any input is welcome! cheers..

It won't be the AAC valve - that is only for idle control.

IT WILL NOT BE THE O2 SENSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! A dead O2 sensor will not prevent the engine from running. It will simply cause an increase in fuel consumption (at worst).

It could be the fuel pump controller playing up. See if you can get a fuel pressure gauge set up and drive around a bit observing if fuel pressure has an effect.

The clear plastic fuel filters are for carburetted engines. They only need to withstand around 4psi pressure. All EFI engines run a metal canister fuel filter, so they can withstand the 3bar + fuel pressures.

clean your AFM, AAC valve with cabi cleaner. and try.

is your AUTOMATIC transmisson..? if so,

1 when it try to stall put it in to N

2 see how you feel. if u feel it want try to stall,

3 check your transmission fluid level.

drive or idel until engine get warm,

drive 1 2 3 and D and put in to R put in to N and leave it 1 min and check the level of the fluid. fluid level S/B in between L - H level. make sure your dipstick with no fluid bubles. if so do a transmission service.

I had the same prob with my car. hope ths will help u.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
