frustation

[nick the greek]

Hi ladies and gents,
I am getting so frustrated you wouldnt believe! I have a 95 33 GTS and have had for 3 years, i have just had it repainted with a view to selling to enable me to get a 33 V spec and now it decides to play up!!! Heres the story and i am looking for help here it starts up on the button it revs no problem on the but as soon as it is up to working temp it will not pull under load it will cut out and the tickover will fluctuate right down to almost stall before finally becoming steady again even on the drive if i raise the revs to only 2000 and take my foot off quick it will almost stall before stabalising again!!!! Has anybody got any ideas before i have to pay silly money to have it picked up and taken away to be sorted out ? I am farily useful (rebuild main battle tanks for a living) and have carried out some basic stuff volt and ohm readings om coil packs air flow meter temp sensor etc and all seem ok! When i checked the plugs they were as black as your hat so i am assuming that it is running really rich when hot hence the cutting out (like putting the choke on) the ecu has a tomei chip set and it also has an HKS AFR fitted. Thanks any help would be a god send.

have you checked all the intercooler pipe work ?

And at first i thought he meant a GTS which would be weird as im going down the same road, upgrading mine to a GTR

I had the same kind of problem on my Mondeo. It turned out to be the AFM. The car was trying to run on the ecu map using the throttle position sensor but the signals from the AFM was buggering it up. The car would start and run and rev but as soon as you put load on the engine ie trying to move, it would stall.
Hope this helps.
