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.

    • 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.
