Engine Problems!

Hi Guys,

I've got an 06 350GT Sedan with a strange engine problem.

I had a problem where i would be driving at any maintained speed and the car would start surging violently, i took it in and had the throttle body reset which solved the

surging but now i've got a new problem.

When i accelerate from a stand still regardless of if the car is warm or not as i accelerate the engine feels like its going to stall like the engine is starving, i put my foot down and it backfires and away it goes.

it doesn't do it all the time but its getting annoying and i'm worried its damaging the motor.

I always run 98+ fuel from BP or Shell.

Does anyone know what the problem is or anyone in the western sydney area that can diagnose it?

Thanks

Lack of fuel, too much unmetered air... There could be a hundred reasons. Fault finding like this can be a headache without a Consult3, it might be worth taking it to a mech. Where are you located?

Intank injector cleaner won't unblock an injector, the only way to test them is to see the spray pattern and measure the output flow. If you were local I could do it for you cheap, otherwise if you can rip them out and get an injector specialist, or ship them down to me, they can be easily cleaned and tested.

Have you changed the fuel filter at all? 8 years on the original might be pushing it, but if the fault is intermittent... I doubt that is the cause.

Could be a bad plug or earth problem. You could get the voltage at the injector plug checked.

Like Alex said, a vac leak could be the cause, especially as it seems to be low down more so than up high in the revs. Check the brake booster isn't leaking, or some hose hasn't snapped by pressure testing the intake.

The AFM could be dirty or covered in oil, especially if you have a gay K+N pod hanging off it...

I would start with anyone with a smoke machine/intake pressure tester, and a obd2 reader.

Hijack

Scotty, what do you recommend using to clean the AFM?

AFM/MAF cleaner.... ;)

There is a product. Brake cleaner is too harsh and can leave a residue.

Also, you can't resolder a vq35 afm. It's a little different to a RB.

^^ This.

CRC do an AFM cleaner. Make sure you let it dry well before plugging it back in, as it has a microprocessor inside.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.

      Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...

      Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
