i have an R32 GTS-T and my stalling issue is when u punch it, then put your foot on the clutch the revs drop so low it stalls!

does any 1 know if

-adding a new ground to the fule pump will fix it? and can this kill the pump?

-a new o2 sensor? and AFM?

-vacume leak?

-a tune?

-cloged fule filter

anything i miss?

thanks,

What I would do is find someone who is able to run some diagnostics on the car to see whether there is a specific sensor/switch/actuator thats sh!t itself. Either a workshop or someone who can datalog using a CONSULT interface and who knows what they are looking at.

You might be able to isolate the problem quickly and easily, with minimal headscratching.

One aspect of the ecu's operation that could cause stalling is if it fails to activate decelleration fuel cut recovery rpm control.

Say if you take you foot right off the throttle to stop at the lights the ecu stops the injectors while he car slows.

As it comes to a stop the injectors start operating again and the ecu holds the idle at about 1300 or so until the idle stabilises then it drops back to normal idle.

Sometimes, maybe when the ecu doesn't get the correct signal back from some sensor or other, this recovery control malfunctions causing either stalling or fast idle problems.

I'd like to see any explanations of possible causes of this. eg more detail on how decel. fuel cut recovery works or which sensors could be involved.

While I was typing my previous post I was thinking what sensors might cause a problem.

It occurred to me that the car should have a clutch pedal switch.

I went out to the garage to see it my r32 had one and there was one but it wasn't connected. I looked at the loom that was near it and I found a plug tucked back into the loom.

The wires reached the switch and it plugged straight in.

I don't know why it was disconnected but it looked deliberate.

Now I want to test drive it and see if I've fixed my longstanding crazy idle problem but I'm parked in for the night.

I'll check it out tomorrow if I get time.

I took it for a short drive this morning and it's a much smoother car to drive.

Before I put the plug into the switch the idle would come down in steps when I stop at the lights 1400, 1200, 700 over 5-10 seconds.

Now it drops straight to 700 and stays there.

It has also fixed the problem of the revs dropping too low during gear changes especially on the overrun when the fuel cut operates.

I've owned this car for nearly three years, I can't believe I didn't pick this up sooner.

One thing that puzzles me though is that the way the plug was tucked into the loom looks as though it was factory so maybe it has been this way from new.

Have a look guys and see if your clutchpedal switch is connected and let me know.

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
