Pull out the consult connect that is under the dash on the driver side of the steering column.

Look on the back of the connector and find 2 wires on their own in one corner.

Turn the car to (I think) accessory.

Get a paper clip and short out these 2 wires.

Watch the check engine light for flashes.

I think the first number of the code is long flashes and the second number is quick flashes.

5-5 means end of codes.

2-1 = flaaaaaaaash flaaaaaaash flash

if you get a 21, then it is something with your ignition. Most likely coilpack has died.

Ha, apparently all 34GTt does that, my mate's car does that every freaking time as well. Got PFC, tuned by Melb top tuner and still. Mind you nothing wrong with the performance, everytime it does that thing we just rev the shit out of it and it fix itself LOL.

Maybe should consider Slitfire system.

It will blow a bit of black smoke cos ' stock ECU trigger alarming so shit load of fuel goes through.

We now had PFC installed and the fcuking thing still happening, if it was really a coil pack then it'll goes to that safemode ( TCS and shits lights up ) for good, why it only come on once in a while?

i wouldn't be driving it mate the car felt pretty fcked and rough when it was happening. As for revving the car till it owrks i wouldn't be doing that either.

Id garage the car till you get it fixed.

but serioulsy when my car was doing the exact same thing it was just a coil i changed it and it worked fine!!!

You're talking out of your ass mate.

The car is over fueling because the coilpack isn't working.

Thus the sparkplug is not firing so the unburnt fuel goes out the exhaust.

It still happens with the PFC because the coilpack is dead.

If you don't know what you're talking about or are uncertain, please don't spread it around like it's factual.

Why does it only come up once in a while?

Because they get faulty when it's hot, run them like that long enough and the coilpack will not work even on cold starts.

i had a similar problem with mine except car was running fine, the check engine light came on intermittently and when i revved the car a little it would go away. Brought it in to my mech who had a consult machine and found out it was a faulty O2 sensor. replaced tht and fixed the problem. I believe tht would be West's problem as the O2 sensor on the 34 have been known to play up. But if your car is running like shit and misfiring etc........then I would suspect the coilpacks. Nevertheless bring it in to a mechanic...most mechanics have the scan tool nowadays...good luck!

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

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
