Hi there Guys,

It's been a while since i have posted a question and i have done some searching through the forums but i can't seem to find what i'm looking for.

Problem -

1995 Series 1.5 Skyline RB25DET

* Issues started with low idle - and engine stalling when cold (By the way it's an automatic) Engine would stall if any load was put on it.

* Investigated timing and all timing marks line up for 15Deg

* I've had fun by doing the following - re-Gapped sparkplugs; Got a 2nd hand CAS; Got a 2nd hand AFM; Brought new plugs

I've just been playing with the car today and managed to get it firing by itself but i had to hold my hand over the AFM to restrict the flow Engine was able to idle for 3-5secs before stalling again - I repeated the process and when firing took my hand off and died -

I'm thinking in my mind the following -=-

Either I have a break in the pipe work (Intake) but when i had my hand over the AFM the pipe was sucking in and i couldn't hear any other air. Or the AFM is cactus.

Does anyone have any other thoughts -

Regards,

Ashley Neal.

Check trouble codes then

check fuel pressure

The ECU did show me Code 55 - Everything OK -

The Fuel Pump is working - I disconnected the Feeder pipe and put into a bottle plenty of fuel went into the bottle - Is there a spec on how much presure should be there?

whats it like when its warm?

is it on a stock ecu?

if its always idling very low and is on a stock ecu, perhaps try to adjust the idle up a touch. theres also a mixture screw on the back of the ecu that you could fatten up a touch, that makes them run a little easier when their cold. But if you add fuel on base idle you will also want to up the idle screw.

Hi mate,

The car seems to be racing when warm - sitting just shy of 1000rpm - when spec say's 650+/- has a slight sputter every now and again.

The ECU is a completely sealed unit with no trimpod for adjustment. I also checked for Dry-Solder in the AFM - and everything checks out there = ECU still giving Codee 55 = All Ok.

id go for fuel pump.

They can throw up an array of symptoms but seem ok with prelim testing like you did.

Otherwise vacuum leak...

Thanks mate, I've checked all the Intake piping and there is no apparent air leaks - does anyone know what type of presure should be coming from the rail --

I also did some further testing and with doing the following - blocking the Intake - and allowing a small vaccum of air into the AFM - the car would start with timing retarded - engine would fire on it's own for a moment - but if i removed my hand or made the vaccum less the engine would stall --

The suction from cranking felt quiet faint - can anyone comment on this?

Thanks.

did you look at all the piping cooler etc? my freind had a problem with his for 3 weeks before finding a pin hole in the intercooler.

try changing the fuel filter as well my turbo pulsar wouldnt run and idle and it was a blocked fuel filter but it still primed etc

+1 for fuel filter...im assuming you've checked your air filter..

My mates car wasnt starting, and racing at idle, i blew out the air filter with a compressor and it ran great for another couple of days..cheap prick wouldnt spend 20$ on a new one

Righto - Still Not anywhere -

I've replaced - all clamps, enusres tight- checked Cooler for leaks - new fuel filter -

And still no go - does anyone know how much New AFM's are and where to get them -- as I got a price from a crowd and it seemed a little steep at 780$ex out of Melb.

Or does anyone on the Northside of Bris have a 3 pin (Pink Lable) AFM that is known good that i could try?

Thanks.

Try a diffrent AFM had a simular problem on a mates car, Go to a wreckers or something and you might be able to test it, also AAC valve is clean? check that as well. Do you also have a BOV? or is it stock standard?

just unplug the AFM and see if it idles

the engine will run with no AFM and should idle OK, but it wont drive very well and will rev cap at 2500RPM

if the AFM is the culprit when you unplug it, it should run to normal idle

if the AFM is NOT the culprit when you unplug it, the same problem will be present and it will stall

Hi buddy,

The vehicle wont even start - or run enough to test this theory.

I'll try the fuel line thing shortly.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
