Skyline r32 20det missing and stalling, will be driving and acceleration cuts out for a few seconds then put foot back down and comes back, or like today for the first time won't come back and stalls, or stalls randomly at lights and has trouble starting again sometimes, has run great for 8 months, just started this a few days ago, seems like it's doing it more and don't like driving knowing I could break down at traffic lights if it decides to stall and not want to restart ...

AFM connection, coils, fuel pump or something? anyone had this prob? needa sort it asap

Does it only happen when car is warmed up?

Sounds alot like when my old Bluebirds CAS was on it's last legs.

Cutting out at approx the same place daily on the way to work, ignition cutting out and kicking back in, stalling and not wanting to start for a couple of minutes etc.

New CAS, no problems.

Could also be AFM related but I'm leaning towards CAS.

Search for "Crank Angle Sensor" & see what comes up.

I think it is only when it's warm, I'll see in the morning as I need to get to uni, not looking forward to driving it at all was hoping it would at least be OK through till friday but it seems alot worse... may have to try hunt down a cas tomorrow, or find out if some one can confirm the problem.. thanks so much for the help at least now I have a likely cause for this... its very annoying!

Freaks you out when your'e hummin' along and suddenly everything stops.

Popping the bonnet at the lights isn't much fun either.

Goodluck, hope you get it sorted soon.

Oh and Welcome to SAU !

Yea never had any problems up till now, have searched up symptons and there's been too many causes to figure it out.. like air flow meter connection, coils, cas good to get some peoples opinions here as well to match whats happening, wish my car could talk and just tell me wassup

ECUtalk cable, its the most practical imo, comes with a USB connection and software !.

Dont go the chinese route and get a RS232 those things are so oldschool you need a laptop with a RS232 port,

if you dont then you need to get a USB-RS232 converter and thats just annoying you will end up

spending $$ to get it to work. ECUtalk best bet its like $80 and in with the times.

Its a poor mans Multi Functional Display.

Thought Id bring this thread back.

Tonight something weird happened. I was driving (just entered sydney from the central coast), slowed down for a round about, and got through it, then on the other side I applied about 5% throttle just to coast along, and it hung on to 2,000 rpm for at least 2/3 seconds I was then about to get off the throttle, and then it started to gain revs again.

Then I pull into the garage, park, I then jump out to have a sticky beak at any noises, and I can hear the car slightly dropping and picking up revs, power fc said about 200/300 rpm. And then it stalled, so I crank her up, she starts first go, and I let her idle, same thing again, stall after about 10 sec.

Hmmmmm... Im thinking my AFM is farked, or TPS. Am I on the right track? Im going to check tomorrow to see if its still doing it, if it is still misbehaving then Ill unplug the AFM's and see if it persists.

Or am I just chasing my tail and I should be looking at the CAS?

BTW, if my AFM's are f**ked then, Jez mah man, get that LINK ready

Its all apart atm. Cas is looking good still. Gears still have good teeth.

Afm, one has some oil on the element. Will be cleaning them and putting cstch can in to prevent this in the future.

If this doesnt fix it, then I am done with afms haha

Mine is still doing it, have taken it into get fixed and they did an oxygen sensor somewhere under manifold and the spark plugs which they thought fixed it but turns out once I got it back wasnt fixed so she's going back in.

@Hadouken Mine has started doing something similar to yours over the last 2 weeks which it wasn't initially doing once the missing started, when it's idling she can't keep the rev's stable, stays stable a little bit, rises, falls, rises, falls, and usually will end up stalling, sometimes quickly sometimes takes a bit. As you can imagine this is annoying as hell at traffic lights...

Oh well, gotta get through this week with her in this condition in the city while I'm at uni and take her back home to get back into the workshop and use a family vehicle while it gets fixed...

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
