I've searched the forums and can't really find my problem...

For awile now my r33 gtst has been playing up when cold, the car will start but then will stall straight away, or run rough and then stall. But then be ok if i kept trying and warmed it up. It was only doing this sometimes but lately it has got worse and started running rough and stalling even when hot.

sometimes this problem wouldn't happen for a couple of weeks??

The Blitz BOV i have on it was getting stuck open and shut, so i pulled it off last night and cleaned it, put it back on and the car ran fine. So i thought i had solved it, but this morning i went to start the car and the same thing is happening :)

Maybe this was just a coincidence that the car ran fine last night, cause i put back on the original BOV a minute ago and still no go (original came with the car seperate so not sure if its good, but it looks ok)

would a dodgy bov gasket cause problems? ( ie a bit flat or squashed)

Could it be a stuck throttle body, or stuffed air flow meter????

I am a bit lost now and not sure what to check next, somebody please help

I just disconnected the airflow meter and reconnected and the car started fine, but when i rev it it stalls, then when i start it again it starts dropping the revs then reving back up again...

So this could be my problem i think...

A bit strange that the problem usually only occured when the car was cold.

dodgy connecter or dirty sensor maybe?

well i pulled off the airflow meter and the sensor in it was filthy, so i blasted it with carby cleaner then after it was dry i gave it another blasting with electronic cleaner. Also cleaned the mesh on each end. now its running good, so try cleaning your airflow meter if anyone is having similar problems :D

damn, glad that is fixed, time for a beer :)

i had a very similar problem on my NA.

SST went over the whole car and ended up replacing the standard ECU with a Wolf ECU.

i am now getting quite respectable power but still using a bit of fuel and still having trouble with revs and idle... it's all mapped now so i don't use an air flow metre so i have no idea why it's doing this.

any thoughts are greatly appreciated as SST are quite stumped atm.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.

      R34 GTT AC short cycling ? Normal behaviour?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
