WESTWD Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hey guys, My RB25DENEO in my R34 has cut out while driving twice over the last two weeks and the engine and oil light have both come on each time this has happened. Once i come to a stop, i can turn the engine on and drive away just fine. I changed the oil after the first time it happened as it was very low and the car ran smoother but it happened again after this. I am planning to take it to a mechanic today, but was curious if anyone had any ideas here? Thanks a lot.

Plattsy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 had same issue on a 33, check you box oil level, mine was a little low due to a split line going to the radiator. basically i would accelerate then come of the accel, and the revs would drop right down and engine would cut out. (this also happens if boost pressure is not plumbed back into the turbo, but your natro so cant see it being that) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/415772-engine-cutting-out/#findComment-6670787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missileman Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 How about connection up to a consult cable and reading any fault codes... My auto 32 did this cutout thing not long ago, I managed to limp home and the only fault code was 12: air flow meter Followed the tutorial and re-soldered the pins and hey presto, not more engine cutting out.

Plugged it in last night and no fault codes detected. however, my timing was going all over the place, jumping from 4, up to 17, then down again etc. then it had brief moments staying on 15. Could it be the CAS? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/415772-engine-cutting-out/#findComment-6672319 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad082 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The timing will fluctuate at idle unless locked in timing mode. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/415772-engine-cutting-out/#findComment-6672809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESTWD Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 yep same issue as mine exactly....... have you reset the ecu? Yeah, i reset it 2 days ago. Not sure if it helped at all. Car hasn't cut out since, but im not convinced a ecu reset has fixed it? I just see how it goes.

Plattsy Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 as hugh said dont worry about timing. check your throttle position sensor voltage, and make sure your gearbox oil is good. and full.
