I have a new fuel pump.ive checked all the relays and fuses.never seems to do it on boost ,max was probably at 3000rpm.could the crank angle sensor cause this or would that just be a misfire cause it is definatly momentarily dieing in the ass.when it stalls while idling it will start straight away.couldnt find a light on the mines ecu to fault find.i have a consult unit but im not sure what or where to get the software from.was hoping maybe it would give me a code.

No i havent actually replaced and tried the eccs relay.i just checked the connections by pulling out and back in and sort of shaking the harness and plugs around while idling.i cant get my hands on a known 100% maybe a used from the wreckers.

Just thinking could that eccs relay be the cause of when i turn the engine off 50% of the time it still runs for a bit although roughly at sort of half idle .it usually stops byself after about 5 seconds or if i just press the accelerator it will then stop and then at that point  the relays or whatever sound i hear in the car actually click and thats when it shuts down like the ignition is still on until i press the acelerator.i changed the ignition swtch but still the same and i dont have  a turbo timer.maybe problem is related.oh and also sometimes to start starter motor just clicks.also changed that but still the same.ok thats all the electrical problems i have.maybe its all related.

Sounds like a complete mess.  Too much of a mess to try to tease out whether you've got one root cause or a bunch of separate ones.  I would say though that it is eminently possible that someone has done something....inappropriate with the ECU/ECCS wiring at some point which could cause it all.  Booting a Nissan ECU is a bit like booting a PC.  There is always power fed to part of the "motherboard" and when you send a signal on one pin it causes the rest of it to boot up.  The ECU has some feedback in its wiring to keep the ECCS relay powered after you remove your external power up signal.  When....unskilled people play with that wiring you can get freaky behaviour like you describe.

Yeh your 100% right the wiring especially under the dash has been messed around with by previous owner.its only been playing up say the last say 6 months.ill just slowly start eliminating one thing at at a time.i do have an electronics background but its never hurts to ask for ideas.cheers for the help.

Ok.stalling and cutting out issues sorted.i remember my vl turbo many years ago had a plug near the dizzy that when u jiggled it would stall.so i replaced my cas with a spare i had.the connector plug had the locking tab busted but since i swapped it over the stalling at idle problem and the brief cutting out at revs has stopped.maybe just taking the plug on and off sorted it could not safely acesses this plug while engine was running.bought a new plug and i will replace.1 problem solved.

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
