So I need some advise on a RB30. The engine and car are completely stock. I have been have some problems with fuel (I think) with the car cutting out well driving around town but not dying completely. This car has been sitting for sometime before I bought it. Then today I was driving to work and this happen:

- Car stutters then drives normal a little.
- Stutters again then revs drop to 0 for a second.
- This is then followed by a large bang (really loud).
- Then drives normal after.
- Happens twice on the way to work (15 min Drive)
- On the way home it happened once and when it did the exhuast sound completed changed.
- Made it all the way home and checked the exhuast to find:

Any ideas on what would have caused this to happen?

Symptoms sound like a throttle position sensor gone haywire to me. No idea if a VL even has one though??
