My car either idles at 2000rpm or it goes up and down between 1000-2000rpm very quickly.

Any ideas what the problem maybe?

Ive done the obvious things like change plugs/ swap coils with a mate/ adjusted tps etc but ive still got a problem :blink:

Thanks in advance.

you cant adjust the timing of the idle in the powerfc, ie: editing load point 1x1 and adjusting the timing there. you can change the idle rpm. do you have access to datalogit? you could get someone to save your tune and do a full reset and let it learn the idle again

I meant the timing through settings/ ing/inj. Not changing it on the ignition map.

Ive tried initializing it aswell with no luck.

One thing I have noticed though is if I drive it gently it slowly gets better (2 hours of driving) But as soon as I hit the rev limiter it plays up again.

i had this problem with my R32 i tried:

AFM-didnt work

AAC valve cleaned out-didnt work

Cleaned out throttle-didnt work

What i did was i got a second hand part (tpp unit i think, not sure)

Anyway, Its located on the side of the throttle butterfly as you look at the engine from the front of the car. a black box with two clips coming out if it.

First to see if its the problem start the car, disconect the plug that you can see easily(on the right side of the box as you look straight on to it) ur revs should clam down but not totally fix itself. if this happens thats ur problem. thats how i fixed mine.

Water usually gets into this black box (sorry about the name of it i just cant remember it)

Hope it helps.

Nothing to do with the tps.

On the R32's its located below the throttle body on top of the inlet manifold... Has two hoses going in to it... On cold idle it opens up raising the rpm. Sometimes the spring flicks off and it stays open all the time holding rpm up even when warm.

Just cleaned the air reg and it didnt make a difference. I also tried bypassing it (same way my old setup was with out all the idle junk) and it still revs to the moon.

It just revs up and down between 1000-2000rpm.

Paul I think i do it right? Let it idle for 10mins, then switch on a/c for 10mins then the rear dimister?

I wish I had a holden....

Did you pull it apart and ensure the spring was connected?

I set my pfc idle by doing the following....

Plug in the pfc.. :blink:

Disconnect the AAC plug. Adjust idle to as close as possible to the value within the pfc for a/c off.

Connect the aac plug. init the pfc. Send it through its learn process... Perfect idle. :P

Be sure the TPS is set to ~.46v

Yep and gave it a clean with CRC.

I just took a look on a 33 workshop manual and it says that the opening should be 3/4 open but mines 3/4 closed.

edit: ok thanks il give it a try like you said in the moring. I dont think the neighbours are to happy with me at the moment :blink:

Thanks again.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
