Compare the decel fuel cut set points in your tune against the ones in the standard tune. If it has been fiddled with by the tuner, it might have been fiddled with poorly, or to cover some other problem that has since been fixed or otherwise changed. But my recommendation to you is to stop stuffing around asking questions like this on a forum and take the bloody thing to a decent mechanic/tuner who can test it out with some diagnostic gear attached and see what is actually happening. Instead of keeping going like this day after day you could have it fixed in an hour or less.

GTSBoy you could be validating a good suggestion about the decel cut points, maybe thats the problem, but why now all of a sudden after fitting my dump and O2 sensor?

As for taking it to a decent mech/ tuner, it would be at Unigroup already... If i had my licence, or a fultime driver....

I'd say it's just as likely to be coincidental as being caused by anything you did. But a decent dump will affect the overall breathing of the engine and so might have tipped your engine over the edge of some failure that was waiting to happen.

Anyway, I agree with Hanaldo. Put it on a truck and get it fixed, or put it up on blocks and don't fix it until you get your license back.

Lol at putting it up on blocks, but putting it on a truck and off to tuners is simply not smart financial sense as i dont need the car fixed asap, being suspended makes me all the more determined to bite tooth and nail, hunt for solutions and keep my car 'perfectly prepared' and waiting for me when i get it back. Not only does it keep me bUsy with an interesting hobby of tinkering with cars, but its taught me a huge amount of stuff and made me more n more confident at fixing little bits n pieces along the way while also keeping dosh in my pocket than into someonelse's, theres every bit of chance to get ripped off anywhere in this industry, such as Hanaldo's $300 intake...or was it more? Wink;

There seem to be a lot of members of sau with autos and mostly atmo aftermarket bovs who seem to encounter this exact problem of stalling upon rapid release of the throttle. Example stopping at lights or slowing down after WOT. Mine is a manual with stock plumb back bov, so tryin to figure out if thats the cause.

i have had problems with staling at lights and feels like loss of power and when driveing on freeway bit of a jerk like car went off and on, changed my coils improved it allot but still had bit of a jerk, at the end it was the fuel filter that was blocked to the shit house that literlly made my car stop completely and jerk while driving on freeway, this is on my 33. on my 32 i had problem staling at lights also and ended up being breather hose on my fuel tank every time i turn corner or some thing air went in system and shut off my car so replace that got power back and no more stalling, so with your problem could be a fuel issue and ignition. maybe fuel pump on way out or fuel filter blocked with gunk, i suggest changing fuel filter first because it really cheap and easy and get fuel pump tested, maybe pump not pumping enough fuel or just not working properly, hope this help and is the issue, and check and tighten all the clamps maybe a leak some where but doesnt sound like that to me. good luck i check in.

Ha, that's cute man. Carry on then, you've clearly got it sorted.

well there is nothin wrong with trying to fix it your self and save some dosh for other mods, thats why we got this forum to help people who like fix and doing there own cars and also vise verser. Not every one got allot of money,

He doesn't have a license. If he did I would be encouraging him. But imagine if you got cleaned up by a dude with no license messing around with his car.

fair enough he shouldnt be driving the car at all agree with you there , he should get one that has licience to test it to see if problem does not exists and he can continue fixing it,

and you should not be driving it with out a licence or else no one would be helping you out, get your dad to see if problem gone or a friend with a licence to drive it.

Definitely should not be driving it, but did a couple of 5 minute runs, otherwise I get my friend to take it out when he is available.. Thanks for the suggestions on what could be potentially wrong with the car.

i notive you have a T boost controll, i herd that they meant to stuff up and spike boost up and down and stuff up completely i suggest getting a electronic boost controller can get one cheap of justjap.com search them up on google or visit there forum threads here.

sorry for double post dunno what happen :S

Thanks, my boost holds nicely though - goes to 10-12psi very quickly and stays there, only drops to 10 from 12psi. Not unstable at all.. It is a funny issue, this engine shutting off - I have ruled the O2 sensor out because it does it even with it unplugged, battery is definitely ruled out, fuel filter wouldn't be more than 10000kms old, more like 5000km, but will change that I think.

I am thinking its either the deceleration cut-out points in the tune or the stock bov leaking? A lot of people have this problem in all sorts of cars - and the culprit seems to be these things or the O2 sensor or even the IACV and TPS

It could be the bov causing a lot of reverberation? But I'm guessing it's the stock intake pipe, and it's a recently occurring issue, so I doubt it's that. I wouldn't expect it to have much to do with the bov.

My money is still on the O2 sensor. Disconnecting it does not necessarily mean it CAN'T be the O2 sensor, because the ECU is still expecting it's feedback. You would have to edit the tune to set the O2 feedback temp very high to effectively rule it out. But then again, I would expect it to be causing more issues at idle/cruise if there was a problem with it, not only at decel. Are there any other issues, apart from the cutting out at high rpm? Does it idle nicely, cruise nicely, etc?

This is why I suggest you take it to a tuner. You might be getting a DTC which could be checked through consult. So if you insist on doing it yourself, at least get a consult cable and download ECUtalk or a similar program and check your codes, you might save a lot of time.

*EDIT* Just read your O2 sensor is not done up tightly. Speaking from experience, you need to do that up tightly to get it to seal properly. I cross threaded my stock O2 by putting it in when the exhaust was hot, and ended up with a big exhaust leak. I suggest you fix things like that before continuing to diagnose, it's such an easy fix and might be the issue all together.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
