My 91 R32 GT-R runs perfect but every once and awhile while I’m cruising the car will lose power like you shut the car off for less than a second. It’s like the ignition system quicks working and then works. 

 

No engine code or anything. And it’s so quick that I can’t seem to catch anything on my logs to get a idea of what it is. 

 

Power FC ecu with Data loggit  new plugs, coil harness, ground kit , new battery, soon new coils  

 

 

what could it be?

Just  cruising on the highway typically when it happens. Like 115-120

Ok, that may not be the issue then. If they're not under load, i wouldn't expect them to fail. Does it ever happen when you accelerate (or seem worse under load?)
 

If it's not that, I would be looking at my battery connections and earthing points (as an easy way to check things out). Certainly my car can be a bit temperamental to crappy earthing connections. If it seems to happen over bumps check this out.

Otherwise, listen to other people on here, i'm sure someone has experienced this before. :)

Yeah never under load. Never over bumps. 

 

Battery connections are solid and new. Grounding kit using 8 gauge wire to block. Head. Intake. Valve cover. Injector rail and body all straight to the battery.

Well, to be honest, I don't know then. If you're confident in your basic electrics, that's where my expertise ends. 

I'd rather not guess through the Internet about someone else's issues. I hope you find the issue. It's a shame when they aren't quite running right, or you feel you can't trust a car. 
Good luck. :D

Yep I think the random Power FC ghost misfire also. Had exactly what was described on my 33 gtr with a brand new GTR33L 8.04a version that I purchased around 2006. Never under power, light throttle only. Bought another new one around 2015 when the EL controller came out and it fixed it. Still in there now. Code still says it's version 8.04a though so they should have been identical, but after the second one went in it never happened again. Same tune carried across from fc datalogit too. Might have been a bad batch around that time with different PCB type or manufacture, different processor, internal code ect. as if you google it there is heaps if people reporting the same issue.

All I know is the latest one definitely fixed it. Never happened with the old RB26, PRO or the 33D code ones as I have had all of them on my 32 before(which has now been replaced by a Haltech Elite 2500)

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
