Stalling

[Guest Nic]

Have just bought a HR33 GTS-t and have had to put a new heavy duty clutch in. I took it down to my mechanic for the reason that it kept on stalling when I started slowing down only to find that I needed a new clutch. Anyway, it keeps stalling!!!! Some times it doesn't do it, other times I find that it drops to about 100-200 and then picks it self back up to about 900 rpm. I have taken this problem to two different mechanics and no one seems to be able to help me!!!! Can anyone help????

Not happy - it is F@#%ing annoying!!!!! Every time I pull up to a set of lights the F@#%ing thing dies on me.

I would go to a mechanic that knows skylines I dont know any in bribane cause I dont live there.

It could a number of thing but might be the air flow meter

Has it got a BOV? Its not uncommon for Skylines, esp 33's to have erratic idle when having an atmo venting BOV..

Check to make sure the BOV is plumb back, or tighten the spring on the aftermarket one.

Don't know alot about the car yet, but yes it does have a BOV - not to sure what type though??? The thing has got me is that I can drive it around all weekend and it won't stall but then all the following week it will idle erratically and stall.

What sort of petrol are you using? Does it have any other mods? like safc? air pod? etc..?

I am running BP Ultimate seems to like it a lot better than Opti. I have a pod filter (no box), dual dump pipes and front mont GTR intercooler. Have been reading around the site and it looke like it could be the BOV that may be causing the problem

You'll know if its got an atmo-venting BOV - they're the stupid things doing the pssshhh noise on gear changes.

If the engine stalls from running to idle, check:

1. the idle speed is correct

2. AAC (Auxilliary Air Control) valve is functioning correctly. One check is to disconnect the plug, see if anything happens.

3. Air-fuel ratio. Probably a crook AFM (Air Flow Meter), but try disconnecting O2 sensor, see if that changes anything.

4. Ignition components.

I had the same problem, not quite stalling through, just erratic idle, enough 2 cut mt stereo from playing:mad: (not good when a cd is playing, every traffic light) I found it was the AFM, I would check every thing else that costs less money first
