i have tested the vehicle on a gas bench and everything is good has a lambda reading of 1.02. and all the other gas levels are within specs. i have recently replaced the coils, spark plugs, fuel filter and o2 sensor . i have also cleaned the air fuelter and afm.

the vehicle runs fine at idle but once you start crusing along anywhere between 80 and 120 with the engine at operating temperature the car se

ems to jolt as if a really bad miss is present.

i have also noticed that the power light flashes on start up. after running diagnostis the lock up solenoid signal is missing or faulty or something cant remember exactly what it means. could this have something to do with it?

the car is a 1993 nissan skyline r33 gts with an auto transmission.

any idea would be appreciated

This is why I ask is it actually the engine missing or the transmission slipping/dropping out

Do the revs drop when this happens or do they stay the same/rise?

is it while cruising or while comming off the throttle? cause mine has started doing that

When you come off throttle and in gear the car should just hummm to a lower speed then it will burble when the rpm is too low for the gear. My car was running perfectly during cruise, now it lean pops its arse off ONLY during cruising. Full throttle, medium throttle etc is fine. Touching the throttle lightly to maintain a steady cruise speed sees lean popping.

500rpm drop is fair big... If it was your gearbox it would go up rather than down... Lean popping will cause your engines rpm to splutter around. If you have a big exhaust, hold the rpm with the window shut and you should hear the thud of the lean pop. My car is like. pop..........pop.....pop pop pop etc and revs bounce around and the car will jitter. Misfire sounds like a machine gun, kind of like lean pop but VERY rapid.

Only way is by sound and by AFR plots. This is misfire

its not a straight 500 drop. alot of the time i get multiples in a row adding up to 500 rpm. ill try your check next time it starts happening. what is your sugested fix for a lean pop?

I fixed my lean pop today, required a touch up in some cells in the tune. If you are running after market ECU, injectors and what not then it is very likely you will suffer from lean pop. Its common on Skylines and they require a little more fuel then stoich to run smooth.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
