i just cant catch a break. i was running pretty good then i get to a light where i run into my boy with the new tl acura. he shouts across you wanna run? i said always, then the light changes and he takes off. i take off right behind him then all of a sudden i stall out. i start the car back and it stalls again. i manage to drive home by keeping my foot on the gas so it wouldnt shut off. now i do a little trouble shooting, fuel pressure o.k aux pump o.k it seems like its choking for something but i cant figure it out. there isnt any smoke coming out the tailpipe but its struggling to stay on. wtf could i have done, somebody said to check my map sensor or idler air control. im not getting any codes of any sort
i sometimes use to get the purgevalve control code but its not on now.
like i said before this the car was running at its best no signs of anything.
then when i take off hard it stalls and wont stay on. also im running s/c
if anybody has any suggestions it would help.and i was just about to get it detailed for the june 5 meet. damn!

 

just a guess but, maybe u got some of that sulfer gas.

 

oh man I cant believe that, especially when the meet is this only a day away. Crap man, that kinda sounds like it could be the MAF meter too.

 

whats that?

 

some gas stations like marathon got gas that contained sulfer, that effs up your car, it will make it not run, and when u run out of gas your meter will say u half 1/2 tank left or sumthin. we got a bunch of it in KY, i dunno how much got around the rest of the country.

 

yo ant you wouldnt believe the crap i been thru. yesterday i snapped my studs for my front wheel and my wheel almost fell off. i must of stripped one of the studs when i put the drag radials on cause the nuts flew off on the highway i managed to pull over before the wheel came off. i busted my chops to fix it so i can go to the meet and now this
i hope its not a sensor cause im i probably wont be able to find one in time
unless i swap it off the other max. but im gonna try my best to fix it so if anybody has anymore ideas let's hear em.

 

thats interesting cause i just got gas about 10 miles prior to stalling.
but i get my nitrous and race gas from these people all the time, but i will call them and find out if anyone else is having this problem after getting gas. they are honest people as far as i know and they would tell me.

 

Damn you really cant catch a break. You should get some 3" wheel studs so that wont happen again. Bad gas can cause that too... it can be sulfur or even water... but damn that sounds like an issue. Pull your codes and see what you get.

 

yeh i got some stronger studs from the machine shop. same thing happened to my tranny mount bolts, i also snapped them off when i went to the track. the machinist says that nissan gives us these crappy bolts just barely past spec cant hold the torque so if it comes loose just a little they snap. anyway the car is in the shop and im waiting for that dreaded call. im keeping my finges crossed.
