sounds to me like a poor tune... pistons and plugs wont melt instantly. but I don't know how the car was running on the dyno so I can't really have an input. I definitely know how you feel though. went through 3 sets of crow cams and lifters before i gave up with them and went with a Clive cam...

Wow.. that would have to be a pretty catastrophic failure to do that. what kind of damage did it cause? how long after getting it tuned did it happen?

I haven't had a chance to pull it back apart since I've gotten it back. I might do that because I'm interested to see what they have replaced it with.

being someone who works in IT I did in fact pull it apart and have a look to see if I could sort out a fix myself. the poly fuse itself lives inside a small module on the motherboard underneath a little heat sink and it looks like nothing I have ever seen before. It's a specific part that only...

unfortunately, since most of them are all old stock now, (more than 15 years old) all the issues are starting to arise. Haltech support here in Australia are awesome and are super easy to deal with and they cover this issue under warranty no matter the age of the ecu. I had the Ecu back within a...

Guys I found the issue and thought I would post it here in case anyone else somehow encounters it. The Haltech Gm sport ecu's have a component on the motherboard which contains a part called a 'poly fuse' which is a rare problem but is known to fail, causing the motor to stall without any...

one of the distributors I got through Repco, and the one that's in it now is an RAE. I swapped the gear on it since I've heard the composite ones tend to shatter. I'll look for an extra brown wire on the neg terminal but I don't think there is one

yes all contacts have been cleaned. not that they are old anyway, engine conversion has been done in the last couple of months. system doesn't use a generic ignition switch. its all on a switch panel but engine management is powered from a second battery. nothing loses power when the stalling...

I have replaced the relay with another one but issue persists

weird thing is, if I remove the efi relay while the car is running, it stays running. clicks after the car has stalled though.

Got 3x 50mm earth straps from battery to body/engine/bus bar. coil and ecu earths are to bus bar. I have wiggled every single wire in the car trying to get it to stall to see if there is a split cable shorting out but no avail.

No codes pop up per say, but I can view and monitor in real time what all sensors are doing and log it. everything looks to be working fine until it stalls. nothing in particular goes out and triggers the rest to stop. the logs look the exact same as if someone was turning the motor off.

New lead with new coil. the motor is in a gq patrol.. so the fuel tank vent is the standard setup that goes up to the charcoal canister. fuel pressure doesn't drop when the car stalls. its a hard cut on ignition i just cant find where the problem is. battery terminals are tight. accessories...

Hello brains trust, I am experiencing a very annoying issue with my 304 where it randomly stalls out (like someone has turned off the key) while driving. It is run by a haltech platinum gm sport ecu. I have replaced the following - dizzy (twice, thinking I had bad luck with hall effect sensors)...

The replacement IAC that I got is a fuelmiser one. I have warranty with it so i'll try and get my money back and get a Delphi.

Tried this last night, sucked on my finger but idle didn't change. stayed the same when i removed it too. this was when it was idling warm at about 850-ish. I reset the IAC by holding it at 3 grand for 10 seconds, and it died when I let off. got it running again and adjusted the idle both with...

I reckon it has. once I can sort out this idle problem I will book in with my tuner and get him to have a squiz.

I'm not sure on the specifics of the tune needed for this cam, but it does say in the crow catalogue that retuning is not required? the cam basically a replacement cam for the 215kw HSV motors, and I am running a HSV memcal so that may have something to do with it. but it does run really well...

Interesting. I'll give that a go tonight

Nope, its a crow 4001 cam, doesn't require retune. I have a good local guy I go to, he suggested that cam because I dont have to retune it

Its a long time project, just got it running and driving in the past few weeks. i bought the motor and loom conversion off a guy who had it in his patrol, but rolled it and parted it out. he had it engineered in the early 2000's and was racing it all the way up to 2019 when I bought it off him...

I also have a spare memcal, it's a come racing upgrade for a VS manual. i'm not sure if swapping them out would work but would it be worth a try?

cheers, I'll send him a message

it's a Nissan re4 transmission. it's been fully manualized so its independent from everything else.

I have no idea. I bought the conversion loom and ecu off some guy a few years back. its HSV stamped and has "unlocked" written on it. I do recall him saying that it has been modified for the conversion.

yep.. the loom has no brown/yellow in the ecu plugs. it has a modified memcal so I assume that has been made to ignore it. when warm, the car runs perfectly, it idles, accelerates and decelerates fine. its only on cold starts where it doesn't want to idle.

that doesn't make much sense from a logical point of view. if you're rolling and put the car in neutral, it should idle. Maybe i'm wrong. There is no speed sensor as a part of my loom, and there are no speed sensor pinouts on my ecu.. it is a manual ecu. the car still idles when its supposed to...

I have already tried to reset the idle exactly how you described but it is still doing it. i'll give it another go tonight. there is no speed sensor because it is mated to a re4 gearbox (manualised), which is wired up to the bcm of the patrol. i am using a conversion loom so there is no gearbox...

Hi All, First time posting here because I am at a loss. I have a 304 out of a VN that I have put in my Nissan patrol. everything seems to work except it wont idle properly. on cold startup, I have to keep the revs up otherwise it will just konk out. once it gets some heat built up it idles...
