i was sitting at the lights today when my car suddenly droped from idle-800rpm to a near stall only to correct itself instantly. i took off and drove about 100metres when it suddenly did the same thing,but this time whilst driving. since then it has done it several times. it doesnt sound like it is dropping a cylinder,and only looses power or nearly stalls for a second before returning to normal. the car is an r33 s1.5 det. any ideas?? :D

could be coils or plugs..sounds like something electrical....afm also...or een crank angle sensor....try the chea stuff first or take it to a workshop if your lazy....or if u do stuff your self find someone with same car and swap coils over and see if it still does....if still does it tr afm....and the crank angle sensor u will probably need a shop to do anyway...

i just changed the plugs a month ago to ngk bkr5eix-11 re-gaped to 0.8. I have changed the fuel filter about three months ago, and fuel hose. the bov is a GFB atmospheric vented valve, but ive got a HKS EIDS, to control the rich spike. ive noticed since i have changed the plugs it misses the slightest bit when idling.

mine was running like shit and nearly stalling cuz of an o2 sensor. It could be heaps of shit. Anyone or any performance mech will just keep swapping or fixing shit till they figure it out. Just take it to an EFI diagnostic workshop and they will figure it out quicker and cheaper. Then take it to your performance mech to be fixed or do it yourself. That's what i did

busted o2 wont make it stall, try stock bov. the bov is venting air the computer is expecting to have 100 units of air but your bov vents the majority of that air to atmosphere so it only has 20 units of air in the system so it adds fuel to match 100 units of air and stalls cos the mixture is off the planet. atmo bov = stall

My S14 had a similar problem.

Mine turned out to be the wiring to the AFM.

basically, the AFM plug, the cable that goes off it, when my car is idling fine, if I touched the wire or moved it in a certain direction, the car would stall.

I did the cheap option and found a position where it wouldn't stall and taped it to there.

it's not the bov or it would happen when you are COMMING to a stop after venting the bov.

and you have that HKS doobie anyway..

start your car, open bonnet, move the AFM around, move the cable from the AFM plug around..

see if any of that makes your car stall.

good luck

    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
