i have spent big dollars trying to fix an idle problem with my R32 GTR

Went in with high idle about 1600 cold and 2000 hot

since then have changed AAC Valve, changed air regulator, found a small leak down in intercooler pipe (now fixed), have checked AFMs (given OK), changed gaskets on Plenum

during that got better (but not gone), then worse (hunting revs)

and now after all that and a large bill.... i am back to square 1.... high idle

GRRR :) I DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS

Please does anyone know what could be wrong?

have std ecu (could it be that?)

sensor maybe? which one would affect idle (maybe temp related?)

Please if anyone knows ANYTHING Please its driving me mad

i want my precious back :)

End whinge

- check the hose connected from the standard boost pressure sensor (attached to firewall near the brake booster) to the intake manifold. My high idle was caused by cracks in that hose.

- check all the hoses connected to the 'sub-plenum' under the intake manifold. It's the aluminium box that the AAC valve bolts to. That little box and the hoses/pipes attached to it are critical to correct idle (there are 5 rubber hoses + 2 metal tubes that supply vac to the brake and clutch boosters). A leak in any one of them will cause idle problems.

doesnt hunt anymore that problem has been fixed so i dont think its battery

just has high idle now

also SteveL have checked all lines in sub-plenum no leaks there

and could you give a slightly better description of where the hose connected to std boost pressure sensor is?

Thanks

problems like this can be a bitch. chances are it:s either a sensor, or air leak. best way is to go to a competent mechanic. they can check the sensors using a consult interface, and the air leak they should be able to pinpoint fairly easily is there is one.

You have been looking in the right direction. The ECU detects idle via the throttle switch which will be mechanically connected to the throttle bodies. The throttle position is manually set via a small screw (at least it is on the RB20s and Rb25s). If someone has adjusted the position of the screw it will idle high and the idle switch won't close.

With the engine not running and the throttle closed it would be worth checking if the idle contacts are closed. This can be done via a continuity check or if the engine is running you can can check to see if about 10V is present at pin 54 (idle contact signal). When the accelerator is pressed the voltage at pin 54 should drop to 0V.

I have worked on an R33 that held a high idle thanks to someone adjusting the throttle valve position to remedy a stalling problem.

Its a place to start.

Hope this helps.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
