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.

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.

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy

      I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn鈥檛 respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way

      I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
