Now everything it out back together the car runs but the PROBLEM OF THE LIMP MODE IS STILL THERE !! I can't even rev pass 2000rpm, even when parked! Something must be playing up and I'm thinking it's the AIR FLOW METER. Ever since I changed the Pod Filter the problem started, but the thing is I changed it back to normal but it's still limping, I can't even hit 60Kms on the road :0

When my MAF was bad the car wouldn't rev past 3000rpm, it made my car run rich and when I changed the MAF it did not run right as the plugs were fouled. Thoguht I would share that. Pull the MAF sensor plug while the car is running, should make a difference on AFR's, idle speed etc.

Haha dam but did the problem happen as soon as you start the car up ?? And I'm thinking of buying a New AFM and replacing it. I've tried spraying it down with electrical and contact cleaner but nope seems the same when i take it for a drive. 

1.It would drive Fine past 60kms till it gets a little warmer or after 3mins and then BAM it just won't let me rev past 2000rpm and i'll be limping the car home on 40kms LOL ! 

2.Then turn off the car, and turn back my ignition on and i got my A/T light flashing :O !  after about 10mins, I start the car up and its back to Normal
 

Then repeat 1.

Weird problem, it could be the AFM because it previously had a BLITZ POD filter and i swapped it for a bigger K&N POD filter. After I changed it that night i went out for a quick drive and climbed to 100Kms safely while going hard and after a RED light ( car was idling fine ), when i accelerated it wouldn't let my Rev go past 2000RPM, i thought at that moment my car just died on the spot !

 

After that went home changed New Spark Plugs and Coil Packs cause I thought that was the problem but NOPEE. Still happening ):

So I got a scanner and got what says : A/T CVT Fault & ABS/VDC Fault, I believe it's the AT because my transmission is jerky and pretty clunking and it puts the car in Limp mode so it doesn't damage the car from what I heard. Any thoughts ??

Car starts up now, sounds perfectly fine but at occasions after 10mins of driving when on idle or when driving the rpm drops slightly and starts to shudder like the car is about to die and the rpm goes back to normal sitting at 1000rpm. any thoughts ??
CHANGED : Spark plugs, Coils, New AFM, Fuel Filter. No visible vacuum leak, cooler hose or tight with clamps. I'm lost :(

Took it to the mechanics and there clueless, went to 3 different places. They got the same code but are clueless why it's having trouble starting. Have to push the pedal in every morning start up. Am randomly car struggles with revs then shuts down when at a red light. Car idles perfectly at 1000 when warmed up no hesitation or shaking only until when it's warm up it will randomly just drop revs like it's about to die on me

Went mechanic today, turns out my transmission hose was bent too much and stopped the fluid from going through so he replaced it, and did a clean on the idler valve. Car has been running beautifully, no stall or any random vibration, that's probably why the A/T fault was on the OBD2 scanner. Brilliant.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
