so i drove my car from work to a mates place, drove fine, turned it off. turned it back on about half an hour later, idled fine, drove out the driveway, gave it a bit of a squirt, came to an intersection and went to pull out and it started to choke and had absolutely no power and just died. i turned it back on and it was idling between 200-1500rpm going up and down. roll started it and drove it down the road, seemed to drive alright down the hill, then when i came to an uphill it died as i started to drive up the hill. its always had a problem doing hill starts due to what i think is a leaking injector. also im not running a tps cause its got an rb25 engine harness for some reason. but usually if im already rolling when i come to a hill its fine.

im going to swap over to the rb20 harness, and put some new injectors in it. just wondering if there's anything else i should check. cause it drove fine from work, only after i went to drive it again it shat itself.

:( hate cars!

OMG benm has an impostor!

I would start by looking for a boost leak, especially if it is not idling properly. there are lots of vacuum hoses and a single split could cause an issue.

Wut?? what good would an RB20 harness do? Why doesn't it have a CAS?

+1 for intercooler piping leak.

Afm dude had same problem idal hunting like crazy no power then al of a sudden all is fine untill it does it again . Mine also would hit like a miss that sounded a bit like a rev limited at about 4,xxx rpm. My idal was between 800-1500 and would go up then like stall then Kik up then drop so annoying but Afm was my problem. Try throttle body cleaner or some sort of contact cleaner . Or replace also check Afm plug

It happened just after

...gave it a bit of a squirt...

didn't it?

You have a significant air leak after the AFM and before the throttle body. Probably popped an intercooler piping connection.

well the rb20 harness may be useful as i have an rb20? and i need the tps (throttle position sensor) as it controls alot of things.

could a leak pop up that quick?

In an R33?

i pulled the pod off, fully covered the afm and it didnt even try to die. just kept idling away fine. managed to narrow the leak down to somewhere between the afm and turbo outlet. pulled all the piping off and no splits or anything. so i have no idea where it could be coming from? also for a while it would idle like shit, going between 200-1500. then when i unplugged the afm it idled smooth and consistant?

Blowing smoke at all?

Grab a multimeter and check your AFM. The Nissan FSM has the instructions - you just check the signal pin on the afm to earth (engine/body) to see what voltage its reading. 0.3v ign on but not running, and something like 1 or 1.1v while running. Easy peasy and will rule that out.

Next find your consult plug in the drivers kick panel / fusebox area, and do the ecu self diagnostics. again, instructions in FSM. This will give you some flashes on the dash to tell you what the ECU reckons is wrong. Match the flashes up to the chart in the FSM and go from there.

If there is no flashes, then it's probably an air leak.

You have a compressor and an airgun?

Take your air filter off and use duct tape or something to seal up the end, unplug a vac hose in the intake system (before throttle body), and shove the air gun in there and let er rip. You could also rig up a tyre valve to do it with a tyre inflator but that's more effort.

Anyway you'll want a friend to help you find the air leak. try wetting your palm and holding it around the joins of the IC pipework. also with the engine off and intake pressurised, you will likely just plain hear it hissing out.

I think the last thing could be a borked IACV thing - maybe its jammed open/closed or something, don't know too much about how that works whistling.gif

unplug the AFM when the car is running, if the engine is still running then it could be AFM....car is meant to die straight away when unplugged.

Also because you gave the car a squirt you could of blow a piping off or a slightly came off....normally when IC piping comes off you will know about it lol gives a big bang

it could possibly be my air flow meter? although i've got two different ones and i've tried them both and nothing changes, and i wouldnt have thought they'd both be rooted. just after it happened my car was idling really weird, so i unplugged my afm and it started idling fine, then plugged it back in and it died. its at the mechanics now. they're going to go over everything, flush out the fuel rail, check injectors and replace o-rings.

i took off every single bit of piping and no leaks or cracks in the piping or joiners. all manifold bolts are fine and not warped. its currently not running a tps but the plug is in place, just needs wiring up.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
