Hey guys noticed this after a drive. If i came to a stop and was idling for a few mins the car would gently die. I was able to restart it straight away no worries.

Now it wont rev past 2000rpm, when you add more throttle it just pops as if it only had 2 running cylinders.

Eventually it will stall after idling for 5-10min.

Its a built engine with cams, gt35r, Pfc and all accompanying mods.

As of now it is undriveable and is just sitting in the garage

Ideas?

I am led to believe that this is a C.A.S issue?

Afm has been checked by my mechanic, voltage and wiring is fine.

Will definitely go over my cooler piping again. I am only running 12psi-still on run in tune so I dont think a join has popped off. I will investigate my plumbing further tomorrow.

This happened to me for no reason all I did was put on my coil pack cover and started the car and idling like on 2 cylinders and would pop when you rev it couldnt figure it what it was and then after 30min started it again and drove up and down and it was back to normal still puzzled with what it could have been.

Thought I would give you guys an update. Finally got some time to go over it today.

Due to my r34 cams I have had to use an r34 cas. I took off the plastic cover of the cas exposing the bronze disc inside. The car started and revved freely.

It appears that it was full of dust and that was restricting it.....well maybe.

Its revving fine now, it idles etc so lets hope it stays that way :)

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
