Hey guys..

Im trying to work out what is going on with the engine... whether its an air leak or a sensor or whatever..? Below are the things the car is doing.

1.) Car idles fine, but when trying to hold revs in nuteral (3500k for example) the revs drop 3/4 way back and then climb up again, then drop, then climb back up again repetetively while im holding the accelerator down a certain amount

2.) Because of the above, the car obviously jerks forward and back a fair bit when driving which is DAM annoying!! eg cruising along in 4th gear at 70kms, the car will back off & accelerate again repetitively while im holding the throttle a certain amount

3.) In general, it is missing about 60% of the power its supposed to have... something is obviously holding it back ALOT. It feels like a combination of an air leak/and or faulty sensor??

I might also ask, is there an easy/effective way of checking for air leaks?? Ive tried to find something visually but had no luck...

Hmmm how much is a fuel pressure test to get done?? How is it done??

And, no nothing has been changed. The car is stock as a rock besides an air filter.

Could any of the sensors be playing around? If so which one most likely?

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
