my car has a strange idle problem. it will idle too high sometimes and other times it will idle fine. it does it either hot or cold. usually it idles around 900rpm but now idles around 1200rpm. i havent done anything to the engine recently. ive tryed adjusting the idle screw but makes no difference. does anyone know what could cause this? i know the computer or o2 sensor can cause idle problems. If anyone has any ideas to leed me in the right direction they would be greatly appreciatted!

My sons 89 model r32 had the same problem found it to be the fast idle vacuum, its under the throttle body just to the back of it .If you follow the hose that runs m your crossover pipe s the hose that runs at 90degrees from it to under the throttle body 2 bolts hold it onand an electrical connection .

Once you have it off there's 4 screws hold the backing plate on ,you have to take it of and once you have you will see a black round disk that has small amounts of carbon build up on it you have to clean this of with carbie cleaner was the best i found to do it .there is a samll return spring in there be carfull not to lose this as it the return spring for the fast idle not very strong the carbon build up on the plate wont allow this spring to turn fast idle off returns it slow if at all .

I found the cure on this forum if you can find it he has putures there to help you

i'd be warry about the tps..cause it is electric ...try cleaning out the idle vaccum in that black square..and also the brass cylinder on the back of the plenum...2 screws...make sure you dont lose the bits...lots of carbon build up there...carby clean put in back in should be good cant hurt it.

also could be you afm...becareful if it starts stalling....i would guess it be that.

Is it a GTR or S? If its an R then its prolly throttle body gaskets.

steve, is there an AAC valve on the GTR plenum? or even idle adjustment screw?

i guess the AAC would be underneath if there is cause i cant seem to find it.

mine idles at 1500 on stock ecu :(

Ohhhh gaskets, there isn't really an easy way to check that is there? :) I guess I might as well just fork out for a new gasket how much am I looking at? I will have a look at the TPS on monday and if i'm not happy i'll probably do the gasket as I really want my yummy idle back :D. Incidently it's an R32 GTR (or near enough).

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.

      Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
