It's not all the time.. Only sometimes.. Like this afternoon when someone was watching me come in the driveway and it stalled. Then I started it again and the revs started goin from like 100rpm to 800rpm and then I just kept revving it till i got in the driveway, got out, slammed the door, put the alarm on and left him have his little tantrum.

It used to do it and then that problem was fixed, but I can't remember what it was.

hey erin when u say that the reves were going from 100rpm too 800 rpm do u mean up & down if so thats your TPS :cheers:

you really have to love the inconsistent problems. Especially when they NEVER come up when you drop your car off at the mechanics. :cheers:

I had another weird one with the silvia. It would rev way high like 4500rpm in fifth doing 80 on the freeway sometimes and then after a cold night it would stop. The car would sit in the sun all day and then in the afternoon the problem would be back.

So I screamed something like f**K THIS CAR and bought a 33. Best thing I ever did.

ah no TPS is not hard to replacebut is a l few $ $ $

prob try the subaru upper engine cleaner befor going ahead & replacing it might just be really dirty

ah as for the sugur I would not wish that on my worst enemy it means u have to pull the fuel tank out & clean it + new fuel lines filter & injectors out & cleaned :cheers:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
