hi guys

so i bought my r34 gtr a month ago and after a week noticed slight hesitation while cruising at 120ish, now a week later some days the car is sweeet pulls hard other days i can feel the hesitation. then driving back to work after lunch it was almost undrivable for a couple of minutes, could only put like five percent throttle on other wise it would completely miss and be hopping down the road ( it was like someone was giving it %100 throttle then nothing, all within a second. then after a couple of minutes it came right.

seems to do it when engine is warm

its now done this a few times but had a day in between with no problems, now a list of things ive tried

i read alot on here but couldnt find anything i thought was my problem. my ecu is only giving me code 55 which is all clear, i checked hoses for leaks , i forgot to do inlet gasket but i will try that, i cleaned afm's , chucked a new set of spark plugs at it, ngk platniums which are 1.1mm gapped,

been told it could be water in fuel tank but im not sure

any replys will be greatly appreciated

afms were getting dirty due to the air filter seal around the outside had a chunk missing, ive already replaced the filter as soon as i seen it and cleaned the afms but yeah il gap the plugs this weekend, and il look into the O2 sensor, thanks

put the afm back in, car was fine until it warmed up then did the exact same thing, but this time the ecu threw a code, 12 which is afm, so either it was afm or i damaged something in the afm and its that now aswell :( haha going to pull them both out recheck everything and solder if i need to then clear the ecu and try again, cars symptons were the same though so i am leaning towards a faulty afm

i do want to put an powerfc or something in it but i live 600kms (perth) away from any decent tuner so id have to raise a bit of money and go there for a couple of days and then somehow get around while they had it ...

anyway update: i took both afms out, resoldered the plug and sensor connections on both cleaned them and put them back in, its better now the car hasnt hopped (like a complete cut of power) for a couple of days but it still has hesitation, doesnt have the pull it used to just lacking a bit of power, the ecu is also no longer throwing the air flow meter code after they were soldered again

any suggestions at all anyone?

thanks

just discovered today that the hesitation is constant when the engine is still only just in vaccum and when you make about .1 bar of boost it starts pulling again if this helps anyone

  • 4 weeks later...

just incase anyone follows this in the future the problem ended up being 2 problems at once haha

a bad solder connection on the afm caused the car to hop and cut power, dont know which connection it was just soldered up every main one,

secondly it still had hesitation after fixing the afm so bought the consult plug off ebay for 25 (highly recomend getting one) and noticed straight away the rear 02 sensors voltage was just staying at .4 or something and the other one was actually reading and bouncing around with different revs on so replaced the rear 02 sensor and problems solved.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
