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 might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
