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.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • 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.
