R32 GTR Stalling/Cutting out..help

hey,

When driving my R32 GTR it keeps cutting out (similar feeling to running out of fuel) and when it does this it wont idle it just stalls, then ill start it again and it will idle ok and drive normally for a bit (seconds to a minute or so), then start cutting out again

the feeling when it cuts out at say 2500rpm is very similar to running out of fuel in your tank but a tiny bit different, runs really rough like its dropped half the cylinders and looses all the power completley. its not persistent tho and when it comes good it runs perfectley for a little while (enough to limp home on).

my guess is its a fueling issue of some sort, has anyone come across this problem before?

the ignitor module does look a little corroded on the outside, ill take a better look at it

Hey i got the same problem with my 33, but my one is from 3000 rpm travelling at an average st speed, pop it to neutral then the idle jst drops down as if its gonna stall then at one - three times it did stall, but wen i put it back to gear it started running again =S

i have an r32 89 rb20, and yes it is an auto. It had sort of the same prob. kept stalling on me, it still does. but yeah cruisin down the highway it would just cut out...and the kick back in and be fine. The other day it just kept stalling and when it would idle i would try and rev it, when it got to 2500 it would hit like a rev limiter and just back off..and then it would stall. So i would let it sit and it would be fine. But does that explain why it wouldnt do it all the time, and would it be why it does it when i am going down the highway??

EDIT: Someone suggested it could be the crank angle sensor....but the air flow meter sounds interesting....i reset my ecu and it was good for the rest of my trip, so that might be a temporary solution.

Hey i had that before, but i fixed it now, its really quite simple if you dnt know where to start. Firstly do you have an aftermarket BOV? Rev it to 4-5000 rpm then check if the engine is about to die, do it for a cpl of times. If this is the problem then jst swap ur stock bov then try it again if it doesnt fail its definitely your BOV.

It could be alot of things but i know the GTR's have a limp mode built in to the ecu programming. That will limit the revs to 2500 if sumthing is wrong...

Yeah man thats what my importer said. Yeah but sometimes it does not just limit the revs but like cuts out at the 2500. and sometimes it will limit it. I wiped my ecu and it still does it though. So has annoyone got any other ideas.

Lang: In simple mans terms, the loose wiring in the loom...where do i find the loom? :S

the loom is the wiring loom which afaik just means all the wires that go from the ecu to various parts of the engine bay, allthough i think in my case (a freind fixed it) it was to do with the wiring from the airflow meters to the ecu.

I have a very similar problem

the car stalls "randomly", especially after I hit bumps.

monday, I went slowly into gravel, turned the car off, started it, and went about. 15 secs after.. engine died and didn't start again after 5 tries, Fuel pump was priming so that wasn't the prob. I have a recirculation BOV so if it leaks, it goes in behind Z32 MAF. I tried following the wire loom from the connector and it passes right under the A/C oil canister... and the loom was somewhat filled with old oil.

I will for sure to to follow that cable tonight and make sure everything is secure and undamaged.

My car is not in limp mode, I can go to redline with no trouble and with quite a bit of power.. if it's not acting up hehe

I do hear misses at any rpm range... like Highway... at 3000 it will do it but for like 1/2 sec and the engine "starts" back. I will also clean the MAF tonight with electircal contact cleaner

and verify every air path :P

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
