My series 1 r33 skyline with series 1 rb25det is got a problem. It idled rough on a cold start untill I give it some throttle. And randomly cuts out when driving around 2500-3000 rpm. It also stalled while idling last night. I've cleaned the aac valve and air flow meter. I've changed the fuel filter, air filter, o2 sensor, coil packs and put iridium plugs in it and it is still doing it. The cutting out is random as in, one day it won't do it, next day it will and it varies from one quick cut out to 5 or 6 times in a couple of minutes. It is similar to when a car runs out of fuel. Any help would be appreciated.

The afm I got was 70mm off gtr and not 80mm for a 25. Car didn't stall while idling and didn't cut out like normal but surged when accelerating hard so the problem could be afm but yet to justify that when I get the proper one. I'm getting a z32 soon but have read that I can't connect it untill im ready to put my pfc in and get it tuned.

Ok so I got a hold of a new afm to suit. I plugged it in and the car was idling rough. Drove ok but idled rough for a bit, seemed to idle ok after a bit of a drive and warm. I'm yet to drive the car today but Could it be cause the ecu needs to readjust to suit.

The part number on it says its the same as the old one I had and the guy at jap autos says its the right one. It not a jecs or Nissan one, its just a aftermarket one but is brand new. I didn't want to fork out for a jecs when I am putting a z32 on it in a few weeks when I get my new turbo.

this happened to me also, i replaced my air flow meter, it took about 20 mins to really change anything as the car was still running wierd, after it warmed up and started rolling on the freeway , suburban roads and stuff, i realised i had no power cuts or engine stalls, so it was my afm, Most of the idle and stalls point to AFM, i found one cheap, and genuine , look around!

BTW just fyi, aftermarket ones are CRAP, mate had one on his r33 and it didnt last very long and caused him issues, couldnt start the car and kept dieing on him all the time.

Car seems to be running better now but occasionally has a bit of a rough idle and mainly when cold. Also get a bit of a pop/backfire on down shift and in between gear changes when getting into it a bit. Could this be because its an aftermarket afm?

I wasted 2hrs on the dyno today to do what is normally a straightforward tune.

Then i removed the "z32 afm" brand new from ebay and fitted a genuine z32 2nd hand from one of my cars, tuned up perfectly after that.

DO NOT USE COPY AFM's. This is the 2nd time i have wasted time due to them.

Buy a genuine only

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
