Hi. I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I have a 32 gts-t with a stalling problem. The problem occurs when the car is idling, or slowing down to idle (eg at lights). It runs OK sometimes, and then others it will drop in revs and just lose it, or it may drop in revs and then recover itself. I've replaced the AFM, O2 sensor, igniter and even the motor itself! It has the original BOV (not to atmosphere). We've checked the fuel pump and that's running fine. Injectors and coil pack have been replaced.

WHAT ELSE IS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've read the other posts that cover stalling problems and haven't really had anything that relates to this situation.

If I can get ANY help on this it will be much appreciated.

Thanks

PS. The guy who had the car before me had some dodgy work done to it. Don't know if this may be a factor.

Heh - I'm having the EXACT same problem!!! Boostworx has got my car atm and has for the past 2 weeks trying to sort it out!!!

We've tryed averything, had the auto-elec there a million times, tryed second hand parts etc. Nothing! Finally he was going to try replacing the fuel pump, but he would have had to order in one. So instead I'm just getting him to install a Bosch 040 which I was going to do eventually anyway. Hopefully that'll fix it!

Thanks,

Adam

p.s. with the fuel pump it can be running fine but still be the problem due to intermitent earthing problems, instead of mucking around with wiriing etc I'm just replacing it (a worthwhile upgrade anyway if your ever going for any performance mods!).

Thanks Adam.

I've been wanting to put in a bigger fuel pump for a while, but didn't know how to get around the wife. This is a great excuse!!!! And of course we'll keep our fingers crossed that this is the solution to both our problems!!

Darren

PS. Let us know how you go with yours

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=408 This thread is about the same problem but it is in the forced induction section. as i understand it, the computer in the car senses when the car is on idle and to stop the noise of the fuel pump being so loud when idleing, the computer cuts voltage to the fuel pump from 100% to say 50% to keep the humming noise down. now when the car does this it causes them to stall or idle up and down sometimes causing stalling problems. my car does it aswell, but i havent fixed the problem yet. to fix this problem u have to get the earth wire off the fuel pump and re - earth it to the body of the car to get 100% voltage to the fuel pump all the time. in this thread it tell you how to do it. just read throughit. hope this helps you.

Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. I'm putting in another fuel pump today, and if that doesn't fix it i'll try the AAC valve and re-earthing. I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!!!

OK. Changed the fuel pump and still had the problem. So I earthed the pump to some bare metal in the boot and guess what:

IT STILL STALLS ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The AAC has also been changed.

I am at my wits end (to put it politely).

Please if you have any different suggestions, let me know.

Dont have your bov vent externally simple

My car has this problem and it only started after i fitted the bov that vents externally. I plan to vent the air back in in the future so i can put up with it for now, it happens very occasionally anyway.

if its of any interest i did read somewhere on either here or sdu about a procedure u can put the ecu thru to rasie the ide speed or something. maybe do some searching... good luck

i had a similar problem, darren

turned out that it was because i had cut wire 53 (to remove speed limiter) and the car just thought that was a terrible idea. would stall sometimes at low rpm for no reason.

might be worth checking it out

could be a broken wire somewhere in the loom. it sounds like you have enough cash to go searching so maybe invest in a brand new wiring loom?

good luck,

Waz.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
