Guest Sherbertmelon Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi guys, So I have a recurring problem that is seriously driving me to the edge of reason. First of the all, the car: 1993 registered NA 5 speed manual (originally an auto), imported from Japan in 2005, 165,000km currently, mods are: Mishimoto radiator, KN panel filter, HKS suspension. The problem: As of the past 2 days in the morning it a really struggled to start, but eventually will. Over the past 2 weeks, when I pull up to a t junction or come to a stop due to traffic or a roundabout, it will randomly stall, now this isn't every time, but it a frustrating to the point that you have no idea when it's going to do it. The stall is odd, it's only when you put the car in neutral, it'll fall down to the 1k Mark where it sits normally, then try to hold revs for a second, then die and cut out, and then turn the key to fire back and instantly comes back, 5 minutes down the road, it'll do the same, over and over again. Fixes: Okay so what have I tried, I've bridge E1 and TE1 to test for fault codes, none. I've cleaed the throttle body, inlet, IACV, induction pipes, MAP, reset the ECU and that, still stalls. It's honestly doing my head in. Can anybody help? Or any wizard local to Gatwick Airport that can possibly help? I'm a lost end here Many thanks in advance!

Style Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Could be a vacuum leak if the ECU diagnostics is giving no fault codes otherwise I'd have blamed the distributor. Id start with checking all the vacuum hoses for any splits and maybe changing out the distributor. Trouble is you don't want to change out parts that aren't necessary as it starts getting expensive. Been there done that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there done that! Do you know if Garage Whifbitz will sell a new distributor? Is it just the cap I need to replace? Would it not give a misfire if it was playing up though? I've checked vacuum lines and can't find any leaks :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timlowthian Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Could be different but I had the exact same problem you describe on my Manual NA. After replacing most of the sensors and cleaning everything I ended up buying a second hand ecu from here, once I plugged that in all of the problems were cured.
