+1 to painful arms when they're under petrol for a while... Mine were burning like crazy!

That said I had started a bunch of engine mods and forgot that I shouldn't have had a full tank of fuel. Mine was literally about 80% full.... Mistake!

I was putting in a Bosch 040 into my R33 and the screw clamp I put around it was bulging out a bit in the wrong direction... Took me ages of arm immersion time to figure it out... Ouchies!

well it done that shuttering again before....so it wasnt a one off...what the hell could it be??

[soultz]

done it again tonight...i can still drive it its just got no guts, the turbo carries the car along...its sounds like a flooded motor...just a deep missing sound...thing is sometimes when i rev the shit out of it as i up the revs it corrects it and the car goes properly then when i take my foot off it does it again....i pulled the bonnet up and the motor sounds fine...it sounds like the exhaust...i am lost...i might have to take it to someone to get it looked at...only does it sometimes...

[soultz]

[SargeRX8]

Sounds like it's leaning.

[GTR_JOEY]

Yea it does, have you checked your rail pressure? Cleaned injectors?

Like stated before could be a tuning issue

[soultz]

i hopoe its not because i wouldnt know the first thing aobut how to tune it...lol...ill go over the maf tonight...and ill see how involved it is in getting the injectors off and ill clean them too...it needs a good service anyways

[SargeRX8]

Take it to a dyno, give the operator ~$80 to throw it on a dyno, check your boost, check your power, check your afr and potentially find the problem for you.

More often than not a failing afm causes starting and stalling issues with the car.
