Motor is cutting out ka24e s13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

When I am driving or drifting (most of the time) my motor cuts out after about 4k RPM's, throttle stops working and when it drops to 0 RPM's my throttle starts working again. This doesn't happen all the time but most of the time. My father told me to clean the MAF and see if that solves the problem. What else could it be if I do not have a bad or dirty MAF? 😆

very little info here, does all the power cut out? or just the rpms? or is the motor actually cutting out and ur plugs, dist, everything shuts off? i would check for loose wires first, cuz u say when driving or drifting (car in motion) it cuts out, id go through the hoops of checking grounds,main plugs, battery, and with the car idling take ur harness at all different angles and jiggle it and at the ecu. u might have just a short or loose or broken wire

It's when I'm normal driving on a highway and when I'm drifting. The power stays on the throttle just stops working and the motor cuts until the RPM's drop down and then the throttle will start working again

Whether I'm drifting in 1st or 2nd gear
