Hi I have what I can only assume is a air/fuel problem;

I have a 1996 GTS25t M-Spec -> one of the series II ones I have been told

When under moderate-heavy acceleration my car seams to shut the fuel off, making it surge and backfire. It seams to do it cold or warm, although a little more when warm, gets more and less noticable, the engine diagnostics mode picks up nothing!

I have tried cleaning my AFM, replaced my fuel filter, plugged in a CONSULT cable and got some data off it which I have absolutally no idea what to read, the AFM base doesn't really change from 90-110 but I think this might be normal, the CO2 sensor jumps from 20-100 very regularly even idling, but the car has no problems idling at all, just under acceleration, noticably under boost. The problem seams un, or barely noticable at all when you slowly build up the speed on the car, and in every other aspect seams to run fine.

First time I noticed the problem was when I took out my Pod+AFM+ECU+Carbon Canister to install some cabling for a bumper mounted camera I have, but I have since put them all back in, I did once try and start that car without the ecu to move it before I realised why it wouldn't turn over...

Please help with any ideas, I'm so lost.... :cuss:

hey mate i have that same problem too but mine seems to happen in the cold. while driving whenever the car felt like it it would jus misfire and jab itself for like 2seconds till u let go of the accelerator or push harder. and after that car would drop revs to 0rpm & come back alive then stall at the next stop/slow down. happened about 4 times tonight. and yeah ive moved the stuff u moved except the ecu. car is a 96 series 2 also. id liek to find out wats wrong also

    • Thanks man, I appreciate that. I'll keep it in mind going forward, important to know.
    • I strongly recommend anyone playing with cars chasing anything electric, get a basic understanding of using a DMM, and about 12V DC systems. They're REALLY easy, you only need to know V=IR and how to apply it, and you can work out what your readings should be doing. For a simple check on a light bulb, you're looking for 12V at the positive to the light, a near zero resistance to ground, and then for a small resistance across the globe when unplugged. If one of those values isn't right, you won't get what you need. Now if they're all okay,and you then plug the light in, and it still won't work, you now do a voltage check across the globe positive to negative. It should effectively read full battery voltage. If it's not, especially if it's quite low, the age old V=IR starts to be able to be thought about, you now know though, for the current flowing, there isn't much voltage for the given resistance, but the rest of that V has to be dropping somewhere else. So now do a voltage check from ground of globe, to ground of car, then do voltage check from positive of battery, to positive of the light connector. Things like a high resistance in a wire/join will start to "steal" voltage on you. So now step back through which ever wire, until you find the voltage drop is non existent, you're now before what ever is steal your voltage for example.   There's plenty of YouTube videos, but really worth understanding some V=IR, and doing some even theoretical numbers to start to understand it. Then you'll know what the DMM is telling you.
