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...

PN-Mad, any recommended mechanics int he area that could diagnose and fix it? any idea on cost?

Scotty, i'm in Western Sydney and there is no gay K+N hanging off anything lol. Engine wise car is stock.

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.

CRC? Ok shall have a look...think I should clean mine one of these days considering I have the shitty K&N pods

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
