more info? lack of power may be rich and retard or an air leak.. air leak may explain why its running like shit and stalling.. car runs rich when cold partly countering the fact its getting more air under vacuum.. when it warms up its still getting more air but less fuel and stalls.. just a stab in the dark with the limited info u gave :/

can only give what i know has power cold and warm some times when warm and you put your foot down it will take off then all of a sudden its like pulling a freight train

and 2 as i dont have RPMs yet it is like it idles as normal then drops to all most still then gose back up and dose it agen some times it will stall out and some times it wont if you hold the revs up say 1000-1500RPM it will still do it

what did you disconnect? the connection that goes to the temperature sensor? your theory has a few holes in it.. as your assuming that with the sensor disconnected, the car would think it was cold? the car may just run the car like its hot without the sensor, plus there is two temperature sensors.

Its more than likely an air leak, ive seen this before a few times with friends cars that swear they have no air leaks and have checked it with air compressors etc..and months later we end up finding a air leak in some remote location, like at the carbon canister, once one of the runners had a crack in it at the bottom, couldnt even get your hand down there to see etc..

If its not a air leak theres a small chance it may be a dying fuel pump or an electrical issue, but more often than not its an air leak =/

fuel pump is brand new (a R31 intank one) i was told it will be enough??? in the next 3 mounths or so i'll be getting a 040 pump

when i wiried in the engine i solded all the joints

there is a earth on the alt that is held on with a 8mm can that make any difference if it in not on???

can i spray WD40 over all air hose to fined a air leak?

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
