240SX RPM problem - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Question I tried looking on the search to find out what's the problem but I couldn't find anything. I recently changed out my fuel pump and fuel filter thinking that was the problem. I drove it yesterday it died in turning lane and again it just died today when I push my clutch in to stop at light and the rpm just shot to 0 and had to turn key to turn it back on. I then turned it on and it died 3 more times at a stand still the rpm starts then just goes under 1000 rpm and then shuts down the car. I am just curious of what could be causing this problem so I can fix the issue and have my s13 running perfect again.

there is an adjustment screw for the idle on the intake manifold near the idle air control valve. Try that. then check the Idle air valve.

you might check for vaccum leaks, thats what happened to mine and i got my vac lines redone and it was perfect.
