Sr Died While Driving!
Hey guys.. well i posted this on a old thread.. but with no response.. Heres the story..
My car stalls ...but when im DRVING!! i was driving down a city street.. and my engined died "stalled" out of nowhere.. while i was still in gear.. Thankfully i wasnt taking a turn or whatnot.. or on the freeway.. cuz it coulda gotten nasty... And also.. when i start the motor after i have turned it off recently.. the idle goes crazy between 0-1000.. fluxuating up and down.. bouncing around.. And then i try to even it out by tapping the throttle a little.. and it does.. and then i drive it and my stalling occures.. WHILE DRIVING! Can my problem be similiar to the one above..?? Cleaning the throttle body with carb cleaner? replace the air filter? clean the maf.. or replace it cuz i have a z32 1..? make sure that no air is between the maf and the tb..?? AIV problem? Coolant Temp Sensor? what can it be!! Any input would greatly be appreciated.. because it is dangerous driving like this . and i dont know the next time that it might die out on me... im scared.. =( Also.. im running a no o2sensor at the moment.. could that also be partially at fault? Mods : Sr20 (redtop), megan dp,megan outlet pipe, some nasty air filter i never replaced since i bought the car.. (kragen type), walbro 255 fuel pump, new fuel filter.. |

try checking your vacum hoses, and it might be your maf, my sr did that when I forgot to hook up my maf, the connections on your maf plug might not make good connection, this is just a suggestion.

sorry man, posted the wrong info about the maf, it doesnt sound like your maf it sound like you have a boost leak or a hose thats loose look on your IC piping if your running without a o2 sensor your just running rich so I dont think the o2 might do this but then again I might be wrong!

I was hoping it wouldnt be a leak somewhere.. I thought it might be time to change most of my hoses.. might be tearin and wearing somewhere caused by too tight clamps.. I might try cleaning out the throttle body and area around there with carb cleaner, do a boost leakdown test, install my new o2 sensor and get back to you.. thanks for the replies guys..
Hell yea nismo.. Une Town in my blood.. |
