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).

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
