Hey guys,

Iv had my 1998 nissan skyline for about 2 months now and iv been trying to figure out why its running so rich

Im getting 200ks A TANK!!!!. It blows black smoke and smells like fuel

Iv changed the o2 sensor, spark plugs, maf sensor 

When the car is off and  the engine is warm the car stuggles to turn back on... it turns on but then i have to tap the accelerator to keep it on

When im driving and coming to a stop i clutch in and slow down and the rpms drop below 1000 and sometimes even stalls 

When im speeding up and boost starts to build the car starts stuttering sounds like antilag tbh and i loose power

I dont know what it can be and would appreciate any help 

Thank you

I had the same problem with my GTR and found it was the fuel pump control module in the boot was starting to die

Um, how would the fuel pump control module make a car run rich ? All the GTR pump module does is put 6v, 9v or 12v to pump via dropping resistors within the unit, controlling how hard the pump runs. It could cause a lean condition, not a rich, as pump is not supplying enough fuel at load.

Im just stating what i have experienced

And how did you find that out ? If module fails and pump runs flat out at 12v, injectors still deliver the same fuel as programmed. Like wiring a pump to run flat out all of the time, which a lot of people do, won't make any difference to injected fuel to make it run richer.

If the module fails so it makes the pump run not at 100% at say 9v, at WOT, then the car will lean out under load. That's like saying a failing pump can make a car run richer.

At no time can the fuel pump control module fail in any way to all of a sudden make the car run rich.

For OP I'm leaning towards a big vacuum leak too as @GTSBoy stated above.

Nah, running filthy rich and not wanting to idle suggest a big fat hole somewhere. Dirty injectors usually lead to lean pops and only a moderate increase in fuel consumption.

Will pull the injectors out to get them cleaned and i couldnt find any vacuum leaks anywhere 

Car idles fine just doesnt when the car is warm and iv clutched in while driving ....only last a couple seconds then will either stall or bounce back up and steady itself..

 

Have you pressure tested the inlet from the turbo to the TB? Boost leak is not always going to show up as a vacuum leak.

And, for idle control, how sure are you that the IACV is working properly? Cleaned it lately? Your symptoms (rolling stall) are typical of a sticky IACV.

my vote is boost leak, and yo umust pressure test. thats a rule. you cant see them.

second vote is for coolant temp sensor.

both votes hold equal weight and if i am correct you owe me a favor. talk later.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
