Sr20 Dying at Idle - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

The car is a 93 Nissan Silvia with a Red Top SR20.

Last night while driving home I came across a rather bumpy road and it caused my front left tire to rub in the wheel well, which knocked loose the wiring harness and it rubbed against it.

I have to check it out further today, but nothing appeared damaged or pulled.

After this incident however, the motor started to die at idle.

When coming to stop in neutral or with the clutch engaged, the RPM just continues to drop like it normally does except for it does not stop and just kills the engine.

No fluid leaks, no odd noised, no hesitation, no roughness. The car drives fine, until you let the RPM drop to idle.

Could it be a wiring issue in the harness or was this just one of those odd coincidences and I have a problem elsewhere?

I'll be looking into it more today after work as it was late last night and I just wanted to get to bed.

Also, when it happened the first time, I did not get a A/F reading from my MAP sensor for about 30 seconds, but then it came back on and worked just fine.
