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?

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
