Ok, heres the deal.

My gtr is stalling on idle, spluttering etc only when warmed up.

Thought it to be a ECU issue with the power fc(Which when installed happens alot more frequent and worse) so i got the old ecu installed worked fine for a week.

Issue still exsists.

I have checked the Vac Lines and piping for leaks as far as i know there are no leaks.

I have cleaned the AFS with contact spray.

I have yet to check the Idle control unit.

I run a stock bov.

The car use to idle on 1200rpm however after issue only appeared after idle down to 9000/1000rpm from Godzilla after they fixed my timing to 20.

I have taken my car to Mercury and they did say it was either the Power fc or the wiring.

I got my stereo installed by WOW @ Underwood. Dodgy install dodgy products drivers side speaker blew and they tried to say i installed it myself (I Didnt)... anyways back on track when the car stalls it does not seem like it looses power the engine just dies could the wiring be stalling cutting ignition to the engine?

I have been told that it is a common fault with skylines that it does not return to idle very well. or that the altnerator does not charge correctly.

Can anyone help me?

Sounds like an airflow meter to me, try swapping them one at a time for one you know works, While yours are now clean the fault could be on the solder inside it for example or like mine the wiring in the pug has come loose from the pins

Wiring is fine, Suspecting a DEAD AFS. or its not earthing right, so tried some stuff and if that doesnt work new AFS will be coming.

Hey mate go to the ETC on your PFC hand controller and select sw/sensor - you will see o2.1 and o2.2 listed check what these are reading. They will be different but if one is way different to teh other tehn you can confirman AFM prblem.

lol. thats all i have to say to that claim.

So are you saying that after WOW installed your sound system, the car THEN went funky?

Can you give some advice as to how the events unfolded in chronological order?

I remember I had to adjust my idle thingy on the rb26 and all i can say is DONT take it off because it is a broad minded person to get back in. If you adjust it with a screwdriver, it may work for you, though I don't know if that is just a bandaid solution - still masking the original problem.

Jonnyo's postulation seems quite logical, if you dont have access to a multimeter - id give that a go first, since it is a non-invasive procedure.

Otherwise, good luck.

When I first got my R33 a few years ago it used to hunt like mad and sometimes stall when pulling up to lights and stuff. I searched on here for similar problems and a few people managed to fix it after cleaning the idle air control valve. What happens is the spring inside gets all full of shit and doesnt open and close properly causing the car to hunt at idle. I took mine off and cleaned it all with carby cleaner and then adjusted the idle and that fixed the problem. Easy game.

Here is the link to the guide I followed.

AAC Valve Cleaning Guide

This is done on an RB25 but there isn't too much difference between the two engines anyway.

Thanks, I just adjusted the idle and it hasnt not hunted since ;)

if its still playing up re-install stock ecu and hook up a diagnostics tool to it, ask mercury or what ever shop u use, one should have one and it should be able to pull out a fault code, letting you know exactly the fault, my guess will be afm's most likely. very common problem, they just get old solder inside them and can be repaired, but most people exchange them or buy new ones at great expense. butr could be another issue with iac aswell? try them all, just go to the diy section and start searching for HOW TO: threads. its a process of elimination with skylines.especially when it comes to sensor problems, some or many may lead to the same out come, its just trying to find the correct one which is a bitch.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
