Hi Guys

last week i noticed this for the first time, i drove from Newcastle to Port, went through some hills and my car started to splutter and loose power now this was new to me as it wasn't a missfire as such but more of a sruggle to make power then die.

i have worked at Port all week and the car has been fine, not a drama. i gave it a boot afew times and nothing. Now last night i drove to Coffs and it was fine but today i was giving it a little and about 15mins latter it spluttered and died in the middle of a round a bout mind you lol.

It seems to happen when the car is hot, could this be spark plugs/coil packs? at first i thought fuel pump but it's been fine all week.

it's really wierd.

Mods: front mount

3.5inch exaust

Standard turbo

Boost controller running 10psi

coil packs are stock but siliconed

i pulled the plugs out thisarvo and they have the usual blackness and coil packs look okay.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Cam

ok, if it is the CAS will this slowly get worse? can this be easy tested to see if it is? and how much roughly to fix?

at this stage with work i don't have the time to fix but need my car, if it's easy to do yourself i will do it.

i drove it today for about 5mins just to see if it would go, it seems to be when it gets hot it does it

cheers for the help guy

well the known baddie you have is the taped/botched coilpacks

you already know these were causing an issue last time as you have repaired them

so the most likely culprit is the coilpacks - i can't understand how the CAS is at fault, unless it has come loose

how often does a CAS fail? i cant recall a single CAS Failure? it seems in the last two weeks everyone posts "CAS" is at fault. check the basics. check your coilpacks, check base timing at idle (that would confirm if CAS is toast or not)

If it died in the middle of the round a bout then i'd say CAS.

Won't be coil packs.

CAS's play up in some fken weird ways. Car can be fine for a week and randomly die, and then it might die twice in the next hour and then be fine again for another week.

My CAS when it was failing did exactly that - made it a bastard to diagnose

Ahuh...cheers..i always figured it was a sensor of some sort causing it, it only really happens when cars been undriven for a while, if i give it a bit of a flogging it always corrected itself...

So what would be wrong with it, or does it just need replacing?

Hi guys, thought I would let you know the diagnosis of my problem. Turns out it was a faulty airflow meter, yep the symptoms matched what you guys were saying about the Cas had it looked at didn't find nothing, when it did it again we put the computer on it and yay. So take note the airflow meter can cause similar issues, and after a new set of coil packs, plugs, I even got a cas. thank god we got there

      Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔

      If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.

      In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.

      I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
