Hey, been looking for similar problems on the forum but wasn't too sure still.

Basically, my m35 stutters when driving slowly and turning tight, happened the first time when doing a U turn and since, when I am parking/reversing/...

I can take a video of the car doing it if you want to help explaining the problem.

I have an extra unrelated question. There is a small switch just behind the panel where the obd2 connector is, anyone would know what it is?

Thanks!

shudder could be because of the "tight corner phenomenon" and the 4wd system but thats just a guess. The switch sounds like it could be to turn on the attesa pump when u need to bleed the system

Ha! I've pressed that switch multiple times and not too sure in which position I left it :/

The shudder is quite intense once it starts, is there a way to easily turn off the 4WD to validate that ?

All this is just speculation tho, my car has the shudder at full lock too ;). I guess for the switch you could flick it on and off and listen for your pump under the back right hand side of your car while your car is off. if the pump don't turn on then its not the switch lol

No there isn't an easy or safe way. These have a different Awd system to the c34. It is not good for the transfer case. The only way to properly make it rear wheel drive is to pull the front drive shaft

Took the car for a ride and couldn't get it to shudder again so no video yet of it..

For the switch, I tried to follow the cables ( red and black+red) and they go up in the ride side of the steering wheel in the dash.

Maybe it's related to the alarm or something. The car also has this little remote to start it from outside (which doesn't work).

The switch is definitely not stock as it was fitted with screws in two holes in the lower dash just above the pedals. Can't see any light turning on/off when playing with it.

I never got the remote with my car. I just done some research to find out what the switch was for. Mine has a silver sticker above it with Japanese writing. Had it translated and yeah it is remote start

Ha! That's it then, got the same sticker so that's sorted out ! I'll get a video when the car shudders again and put it here, should help with the troubleshooting. Weird that it doesn't happen every time (maybe only when really hot, will have to test)

      Tomei gasket

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By Trinicandian · Posted

      Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.

      So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
