As topic states, I got a problem with my Ceffy where it runs for a few minutes and then just cuts out and dies. It then wont start again for a while.

Any help on where i could start to look for faults?

I did have recent issues with the fuel pump but I have replaced the pump since with a direct feed to it which runs off a switch (dodgy i know its only temporary).

Hey man, i think i can actually help you out with this 1

Try a different cam angle sensor, its the silver roundish part on the left front of the cam, be make sure to line up the pin when re-fitting.

Or if you cant get a replacement try this, pour some water over the sensor when it stops to cool it down, and if starts quicker than normal, you have the problem sussed :thumbsup:

I have an rb25 CAS on another motor that I could try this out on tonight. Thanks!

Good stuff, this had me baffled for ages.

I took my car to a auto sparky and he advised he had fixed the problem, after picking up the car and started to drive home the thing stopped on a bridge of all places! So i had it towed and started doing the diagnosis myself. Luckily this was the first thing i tried and still runs purfect haha.

Glad to help mate, please let me know if this did the trick.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
