lots of people have this exact problem. Have a look at the stick thread "THIS LOW RPM ENGINE STALLING SAGA POSSIBLY SORTED"

I have heard of people wiring the pump to run at full capacity all the time, turning up the idle speed, cleaning the AFM/AAC's and many more other solutions. Some people on skylines downunder even suggest that it is air reversion back through the AFM.

My car had the exact same problem and I have virtually changed the car back to stock and it still happens (but very rarely). I changed:

Turbosmart BOV Type III to Stock

Blitz pod to Stock air box with K&N air filter

Replaced the tiny battery with something more powerful

Changed all vacuum hoses

Adjusted the idle speed to about 850 rpm

Cleaned the AFM

My car rarely stalls and I'm happy with it, except the noisy lifters but I am going to fix that.

I have found that a stall is more likely to happen when I have my lights and lots of electrical gizmos going

Aftermarket bov's will cause that too happen initially coz they have a spring tension setting and obviously isnt set to your car or boost setting blah blah, when its adjusted correctly i dont beleive this stalling is an issue. Well my personal thoughts anyway

put your stock bov back on and see if it stalls? :^)

however i *did* have this problem on my series II 33, had the stock bov on and it was never changed. no pod or anything, even stock exhaust. took it to workshop got a full retune and it was fine after that. i couldn't pull up at the lights without it stalling

    • 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!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
