33 gtst - clutch and full exhaust (bellmouth)

Had issues for a while when I fill up tank with fuel and start the car it won't idle correctly and hunts (sometimes stalls)

This issue I was always a bit whatever about it. Hit the throttle and she settles ok.

Major concern is:

I have had a very intermittent issue where the exhaust will pop when I decelerate with no throttle and then touch the throttle it will pop no matter how many times I go on an off throttle. Sometimes it will get so bad it will pop whilst decelerating down revs without touching the throttle.

Through the revs doesn't miss a beat.

Did it with 2 different motors in it. (blew motor) Only things that remained on change of engine was afm, tps, coils and loom. (fuel pump of course)

Cas, plugs, fpr, injectors all changed.

I got consult to find O2 sensor sitting at .3 when cold then when at temp sits around .1-.2V. Had a spare sitting around so tried that and it just read 0.0-0.15V. So I Bought O2 sensor and found readings Fluctuated from .28-.80V. Which a mates car also did. Got better fuel consumption of course.

Car still popped intermittently.

Tested for vac leak and all good.

Tested tps voltage and all good.

Also I originally had exhaust studs snapped so gathered that would cause popping. Changed all studs and gasket. Still popped intermittently.

It was very intermittent so hard to diagnose but of course now I am in QLD on holidays it is doing it a lot more then normal.

I have found that when I'm low on fuel it doesn't pop at all no matter how much I cruise or thrash it. I pull into servo and put fuel in and I pull out to check if it pops and it does.

So I am thinking fuel pump but why or can u guys think of something else?

Sorry for massive read but wanted to give as much info as possible.

I also understand if u all are not in the mood to think as it is Easter and u may be drunk or hungover.

Also check tps setting.

Did u keep the charcoal canister or remove it? If u removed it wat did u do with the lines? I had a mate route his breather line to the inlet manifold and wondered why it was running rich on decel and accell

Stock bov not blocked.

Exhaust wrap isn't needed for flames lol. It's stock and people think its off tap cause it blows flames.

Charcoal canister lines were put on as they were but will gO over them in the morning.

Checked it couple times as that's what everyone thought it would be and didn't believe I checked it right. It is set at .43v and reads normal on consult when issue is happening.

I'm going to get stuck into it now and see how I go.

One way to check whether or not its the TPS is to turn the ignition off whilst on decel and see if it makes any difference. If everythings working as it should it shouldn't make any difference. Just make sure the motors hot first

Yea that's still the same with ignition off.

I have vented charcoal canister to Atmosphere and it hasn't popped and carried on today.

Will hook canister back up tonight and see if it pops (of it does) then i will undo it to see if it fixs it.

Also found fuel filler fitting loose which is why fuel leaked last DECA.

Just did manifold gasket as I had 8 snapped studs lol. All new genuine parts. Reused gasket to exhaust which was fine.

When it was popping I thought this was due to fix it for sure but didn't :(

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
