My 300Gt Is Going Crazy....

I have had a couple of issues quite recently.

1st of all the car started to stall mostly when I slowed down at the traffic lights. It's quite strange as the car would stall without any sign at all. I mean no shaking, chocking or jumping up an down. when it happens, it takes a bit of time to start the car. you need to hold the key for at least 4 to 5 seconds to restart the car.

I thought the fuel pump was playing up so I changed it. , I had a quick look at one of the spark plugs to see the condition and it seems like there is nothing wrong with it so I assume that others are pretty much the same.

The 2nd issue I had was a bit scary. I was on the freeway, doing 100km/h and all of a sudden the rpm went all the way down to zero and luckily all the way back to 3000rpm. However the car was stalled for a split second. I did shit my pants as you would imagine what might have happened.

I had a quick look at the air filter, Mass Air Flow Sensor, and throttle body. It seems like everything is ok.

Do you have any recommendations about what I should check or do to sort this issue out?

Your help is appreciated.

cheers

Have you checked for ECU codes? Could be a crank/cam sensor. Clogged throttle body/ plenum can also cause idle issues, but shouldn't have caused the loss of power you had on the freeway.

research and check the earthing points / battery terminals.

Wasn't a car doing this on the fwy recently and turned out to be a loose terminal?

If you haven't cleaned out your plenum, the I suggest researching that too- I think that will be the cause of your stall. The throttle closes fully under decelleration, and then cracks back open at the lower rpms to maintain idle. If stuck up with the sticky shite that is so prevelent in DD motors, it won't open again properly and the motor will stall. You will need to perform throttle re-learning as part of that process.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
