R33 Idling Problem

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

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!

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.

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?

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
