Car Stalled Whilst Driving

Hey fellas,

Had an odd issue last night. I was driving my car about 10-15 mins into my trip and going along Cumberland Highway at about 60-70km/h when my car just stalled and i was rolling forward. My lights remained on and i immediately put on my hazards and pulled over.

My car then wouldn't start for about 5 minutes. I popped the bonnet and smelt something a burning smell. I can't be 100% sure if the burning was coming from my car or from something else that wasn't involved with my car.

I finally got to start my car and hopped in and got about 50 meters before it stalled again, this was just going forward and no deceleration (no brakes where used)

Took another 5 minutes before the car would start so i just pulled into a side street and switched off the car.

Tried looking for a towey to get me home, but luckily my mate lives near by. He jump started my car and i drove it home with no issues. At first i thought it was an alternator issue so i measured my battery with the car on which measured 14v (to my knowledge this means the alternator is fine? I could be wrong!)

Car is now at home and hopefully i can get some help what to check and what the issues could have been?

Note - Car battery is < 1 year old as well.

Any help would be appreciated :woot:

Thanks!

For future references. Took it down to JLM Great bunch of guys there.

They changed the CAS, AFM and alot of other things to try and diagnose the issue.

The problem was the Fuel Regulator.

Changed it boom fixed!

Great to hear its all fixed. Its good that from posts like these we gain more know-how as to what to look for when these symptoms occur to our cars.

Suspected Electrical fault turned out to be FPR.

Did you tow the car to JLM? Bet it wasnt cheap :(

Didn't tow it, i drove it haha. Luckily it didn't stall!

Within 5 minutes of arriving at JLM it stalled. Good thing it stalled then so it replicated the issue and also i wasn't stranded on the road :D

Other things they checked was my fuel pump, pump flow, battery related issues and many others but for the many hours they had it i switched off haha.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
