Engine dies after a few minutes of driving

Hey guys,

Car is a r34 GTR.

Car runs perfectly fine, however after around 10-15 mins of driving, engine cuts out and turns off. This could happen while driving, or while on idle at a stop light. Sometimes I can start the car immediately, however most of the times, I cannot. I can turn the key to the on position (dash lights all operational, no check engine light), however cannot start. After waiting a few minutes, the car starts up fine and continues to drive normally until it cuts off again.

I'm thinking maybe a sensor is overheating, and cuts the engine completely. Maybe CAS? Maybe fuel pump relay? I'm not sure.

Temps on the MFD, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp etc are all fine. There's a little fuel pressure gauge in the engine bay, and it looks like it has constant pressure.

Car has a couple of recent mods: Haltech platinum pro, MAP sensors, upgraded cams, fuel pump + relay, intercooler, injectors, fuel rail, upgraded turbos and running e85. 

I had these mods for a good month before the symptoms above started appearing.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance guys!

If it is a sudden stop it is likely to be electrical.  If it stumbles a bit it may be more fuel.  I once had a Falcon that would just shutdown after fifteen minutes or so - it was heat soak to an old coil.

Can you hear the fuel pump running when the engine stops?

Thanks everyone for the help.

I downloaded the Haltech software and connected the car to my laptop. Monitored everything and realised the MAP sensor was flashing. 

Ended up being bad connection to the MAP sensor. We had to re-pin it and now works perfectly fine.

Thanks again! I hope this helps others out with their electrical issues!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
