Today out of the blue, my car started idling funny, Ive never had this happen before on any of my other skylines, but it kinda sounded like I had rotational idle/lumpy cam. It also mysteriously brings the revs up high when they get really low down. On power, the car goes hard and seems fine.

I made sure all the coilpacks were in properly, however I have a feeling it could be spark plugs. But if it were spark plugs, wudnt the car drive like a bucket when i put the foot down? I checked the vac lines and it seemd fine as well.

Please help guys.

It could be also charcole canister.. I had same problem at idle with revs going all over the place (max 1500rpm), until i changed my charcole canister..

It did fix the problem however once in a blue moon, it still does it..

But then i think its something to do with my turbo-timer as well!! when i arm or turn off the car the revs jump all over the place.. but only in a blue moon now..

Hey guys i only recently bought my skyline and have had this problem now since ive had will clean the connectors on the air flow meter and hope that fixes it!

Everyone on the site that makes there input has helped so much (eg. stereo install, turbo timer, gauges, etc.) and its good to see that everyone helps eachother out.....

If I have a prob this is the best resort!

Cheers,

Dan

:P

Oh ok sweet I used throttle body cleaner in it today and it worked a treat! But now the car is missing a little bit on idle (like every ten to 15 seconds just pings a bit) but i guess its the fuel system. Some injection cleaner should do the trick!

Cheers

I have an HKS Electronic Idle Stabiliser for sale if you want it? It's used, but in 100% working condition.

HKS idle stabliser only helps when you have a big turbo and coming off throttle the afm sees different afm signals and causes the idle problem. The stabliser just changes that signal to a stable decreasing one to stop the idle problem.

It wont solve any other idle problems.

I have a cold start airbypass valve problem that keeps my idle at 1500rpm most of the time as the spring has come off the cold start bypass which keeps the revs up when the cars cold. Its a bastard to get to on the rb25 so i havent bothered to fix it yet since i hardly drive it now anyway.

thats what i hate about my f**king 33!

Its never right and its always 1 of a 1000 f**king things that could be wrong!

My dad is a mechanica and he hates the f**king thing!

Does anyone actually report that there 33 is fine and they dont have many dramas?

f**k me!

OK,

I cleaned AFM, new spark plugs, new fuel filter.

Nothing, still does it, however When i was hammering it It would fix itself sometimes. It still is just as powerful and goes hard.

Its intermittent.

I dont know what to do, is it a air leak, coilpacks, vac leak its doing my bloody head in.

Ive tried dissconnecting the coil plugs on at a time and all that does is drop that cylinder and make it sound like a WRX.

Its just got a bad idle, sometimes like Rotational Idle, sometimes just lumpy.

I havent tried the cleaning the AAC valve yet, you think this is causing the problem?

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
