Hi All,

My car did a strange thing this morning, i had just left the house and was about 1km down the road at the intersection when as i accelarated it cut out twice but picked up again almost instantly as i took my foot off the accelarator. I wonder what could be the cause as it was fine for the rest of my journey.

Has anyone experienced this?

Cheers Richard

This sounds similar to a problem I had a year or so ago.

The Fault was the Cam sensor on the right bank. It was a recall item in Japan has also been a problem on local Pulsars that use the same cam sensor.

My car would literally stall at any speed and would have to restart the motor.

This ma not be the same as it sounds like you car is not stalling but it does sound like the computer is cutting the engine because it detects some sort of fault is shutting down ti protect the motor.

Good luck finding the error

Cheers Andy

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the heads up, so did you have to replace the sensor?If so can you remember any part numbers and what the cost was.Did you need to reset the computer or does it sort itself out once you start up?

Thanks again cheers, Richard

Richard, did you find the problem. My car started doing the same thing two days ago. Under load, it would suddenly cut the ignition but then come good again. I can drive it forever on a light throttle and it doesn't happen, but accelerate or climb a hill and it gives these almighty coughs. It's too savage to be a fuel problem, and too savage even for just one HT lead or plug. It's a total (but momentary) ignition cut.

It may not be the same as your problem, but it sure sounds suspiciously like it.

Cheers, Jeff.

Hey Jeff,

sorry i haven't had the problem again, what you explaining sounds exactly the same good luckand if you don't mind keep me posted.

Thanks Richard

Well, the diagnosis is a dead (or at least very sick) Crank Angle Sensor. My Auto Sparky did a great job. It took someone with all the right diagnostic gear, which is defintely not me. It now behaves like it should - like one of the best motors in the world! :thumbsup:

Cheers... Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

I'm glad you found the problem, was it a matter of giving it a clean or was it a bad connection with the plug or did the sensor just give up the GO? What was the damage to your pocket for the job?

Cheers Richard

The crank angle sensors fitted to the VQ35DE & VQ25DET were subject to a Nissan recall because of a high failure rate. There should be a round silver sticker on your car on the drivers upright and this indicates that the car was inspected by Nissan for the recall.

The same crank angle sensor was used in Nissan Pulsars imported to Australia of the same vintage and they had the same problem here also.

Just one of those small hassles of importing.. but so worth while when the motor is going well.

Sorry for the slow response. I must have a profile problem because I never get notified of postings.

The damage was $290, including $165 for the part.

Cheers... Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

That sounds like it was resonable price, thanks

Cheers Richard

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
