Installed the Poncams on the weekend.. all went in fairly smooth.

Took it for a good 1hr drive and on the way back after reving to 7000 rpm in 2nd as we came to a traffic lightm, car stalled and would not idle anymore...

At first i thought a cooler pipe popped off but after close inspection its all in correctly.

Question is what is wrong with it?

Symptoms:

Car starts after having to tap accelerator but does not idle.

Will hold revs above 2000rpm if accelerator held but any lower and it stalls

Sounds as if its under a load under 2000rpm

Drives ok above 2000rpm

Timing is ~ 30deg at around 1600rpm.

Tried moving CAS without any improvement...

Timming Belt seems a little loose, moving belt up & down between the cam gear and the tensioner theres about 1cm play.

Could it have skipped a tooth???

Easiest check will be to remove the top timing cover and rotate the engine so it is sitting with cylinder one at TDC (0 on your crank timing mark) The cam gears should have the timing mark line up with a pair of marks on the back of the cam cover (sounds a bit vague but you'll see what i mean).

It sounds like your belt is a bit loose too so you'll probably have to tension it up while you're there.

when put the belt on did you rotate the engine and then recheck the belt. 1cm of play?? that sounds very excessive and very well could have skipped a tooth or number of teeth. was it idling when you put them in?? has it only happened when you revved it out?

line the marks up and see what they look like

cheers

thats where i F%^$ up cos i didnt turn the motor, only did the tensioner up....

I drove it for about an hour and it was fine, until one big squirt in 2nd to 7000rpm...

is there a way of knowing if i line the crank pulley to TDC without the back cam gear plate?

If your belt is a new genuine one it will have marks on it that line up against the cam gears.

Even if it's a bit old you should still be able to see the marks if you look closely.

I dont know for certain that a non genuine belt will have the marks.

It only matches up to the marks on the belt on installation, after the motor has turned it prolly doesnt return to that position for another 345235 turns....

no back plate as in pic

About 4 turns and the marks on the belt line up on mine.:)

    • 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.
