im in cairns and it's never happend to me it gets blody hot here

Yeah mate, figured no-one else had this problem... Its f#$&^d!!!

Just hoping that someone knew wat was going on - considering this is a Skyline website and ppl CLAIM to know wat they are talking about!!

Thanx anyway.

Your car is fu(ked, :P

Yeah thanks for that... Just in case i didnt know!!!

Besides the blatently obvious of it being a pain in the ass, the fact that ppl look at Skylines and it stalls just about anywhere makes it a bitch to go anywhere without having every1 laugh at ya!!! Fun and games hey??

this problem was happening with my soarer, and I realised that it was my amp power wire had got melted over the back seat, and was shorting out.

I guess try to look at all obvious things - check wiring, batt terminals etc

Yeah had thought of that but when it turns off the electrics stay on so it wouldn't be a short...

Had about 1001 ideas of wat it could be but so far nothing, revs used 2 be unstable 2, changing between 300 - 2100 all the time, so i thought the turning off could have been related but found that the idle problem was just an average attempt to re-connect the RPM wire!!!

Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

Sorry guys - probably 2 vague, but was pretty sceptical from the start...

Alright this is what we're talking about:-

It has turned off while cruising or idiling - these 2 are the most common.

But it also has occasionally turned off on takeoff, or breaking hard!

The only time it NEVER turns off is when i'm really giving it to it.

It also seems to flat spot (if that's what you'd call it) i'll be driving along and it just stops responding for maybe 1 or 2 seconds, no matter how far the accelerator is down it does nothing, then it will kick back and keep going - it almost seems like it is trying to turn off... If it does this a couple of times, all i have to do is put it in Neutral while driving along and the revs drop to 0 and she turns off.

Electrics stay on though so i've ruled out a short, it also starts up straight away 2.

Another thing that it does is if I'm driving on a warmish - hot day, the flat spotting will occur and if i can manage to keep it on, the next time i go to drive it (no matter how long it is after it) it plays up, almost like its got a memory (thats where i was thinking the ECU)

It's very common during the warmer weather, almost unheard of during the colder - and its pretty much got me fu$&@d...

That's about it...

Hope this helps, if u need anymore info let me know...

Thanks all!!

it sounds like something i read on the forum about the fuel pump earth or sumthing shorting out.. finding the earth and reconnect it in a better location.. worth a shot. also check that your spark plugs are screwd in nice and tight.. disconnect and connect your battery after you try it.. hope this helps.

I'm no expert, but have you checked for leaks along the intake system? If unmetered air is getting into the system after the AFM, then that could make it run shit. A celica I owned had a crack in the intake plumbing and the bastard would not idle, almost dying all the time and bunny-hopped on take off.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
