Idle At 2000rpm

[33SOM]

It seems to move pretty freely.

What actually makes the flap open?

[33SOM]

I was just talking to paulr33 and he sugested putting a stock ecu and afm in. So il give that ago 2morrow aswell.

Its not meant to move freely... I suspect the spring has came loose. Remove the screws and hook the spring back up.

Nah trust me i pulled it off and the spring was attached. it looked exactly the same as that.

What i meant was the flap moves freely with the spring. although my spring looks smaller than that one.

[33SOM]

Today I blocked off were the aac and air reg go onto the plenum and there hoses (exactly the same way an aftermarket plenum is setup) and it still did its crazy idle.

[33SOM]

Im thinking taking it off the road and doing an RB30 . But then the problem will still be there

Bugger.. No vacuum leaks?? Looks like thats the way its heading.

hey 33SOM,

i have been having the same problem with my r33 for the last few weeks.

Sometimes it will idle normal then other days its around 1500 to 2000rpm.

i have found with him that if its idle is normal and i give it a good bang, it will then go up to the high idle, but if i drive normal shift at like 2500rpm it seems to be fine.

when i get off my ass i will try everything u have done

[33SOM]

Well let me know what ya find so I can do the same Mine eventually gets fine (1000ish rpm) but the moment I hit limiter it goes nuts again

[paulr33]

so it idles normally ok and you only have the problem when you hit the rev limiter set in the powerfc?

[33SOM]

The idle isnt the greatest at the best of times but when it is good it is pretty stable. I havnt seen limiter since friday and the idle is still a mess.

[Kaido_RR]

ohh yeah i forgot to mention my car is a stocker

just exhuast,fmic,ebc,airfilter, stock ecu

[bazr33]

Looks like a problem that occurs when ya have a power fc installed

haha

i had mine installed in october

november, i started noticing the idle repetitively going from 500 to 1500

not the best look when you have stopped at the intersection.

i'm am in the midths of looking into it .

my AFM is not the cleanest one i have seen, and going to clean my panel filter aswell .

i will clean the AAC valve aswell, and replacing my fuel pump with a bosch 040 which i have recently purchased. ( Nothing to do with the idle but anyway).

I will also check the spring on the throttle butterfly, the "cold idle valve thingo" and the TPS, whateva that is.

After i have mucked around with these possible solutions, and i know then that its not them and they are clean. i'll take it to, "hopefully" a person that knows what it might be, and fix it

One good point from this, is my car seems to run quite smoothly when driven, like an idiot (not on the streets of course) or like a granny.

Just the idle is the problem

I also have the problem of turning my car on.... sometimes

it decides to just click and not start, eventually it will start

im guessing my starter motor is rooted, or fuel pump.

(Replacing fuel pump soon)

Any advice as with the other two fellow ppl with the same fortunate problem.

Would be much appreciated and less stress on me

Thanks

You have an alarm? A dodgy immobiliser caused that once for me.

[bazr33]

i have a mongoose alarm

it did work properly.. once

at the moment, when i press the button to lock the door

it doesnt lock, but does arm the car if you do open it, and the alarm will go off.

i actually have to press the button to arm then use the key to lock the door. Its very fun, but i do atleast know the doors locked.

I have a new motor to put it, will be fixed soon

i will also check the immobiliser wiring and make sure it works properly

THanks for that.
