O2 Sensor, Idle Problem

Hi Guys, I am having an issue with my idle...

When I come to the lights, the revs will sit at 1500rpm for about 5 secs or so and then drop down to around 900rpm... It's annoying me!!

I have cleaned the AFM, Re-soldered the internales of the AFM and cleaned the ACC valve. I have also checked vaccume hoses ect and can't find anything.

The only thing that I can now think of is the O2 sensor (I have recently replaced the stock dump with a 3" jobbie).

Where do I get one from? Can I just use a universal one or is it the same as the VL turbo??

Can anyone suggest what else it may be?

Thanks all!

Todd

more info needed. car, motor? i know that you can buy a NGK sensor for about $110 for the rb25det, and the rb20det. i don't know if they are the same plug. i gather that the non turbo would be the same, but not 100% sure on that. but the sensor for the rb25det is the same as a SSS pulsar (sr20 motor).

but my old SSS pulsar does the same thing when you stop though. what is your fuel economy like?

Thanks mate...

R32 GTS-t (RB20det).

Mods:

FMIC

EBC

Dr Drift remap and tune

3" Ex + Dump

Pod

R34 Turbo

Irridum Plugs

Bosch 040 Fuel Pump

I do a bit of highway driving to and from work and generally get 350-400km's to a tank...

I have recently replaced my coils due to missfiring, and as I said have done the AFM and ACC valve.

In my mind this is the next step? Would you agree?

it really comes down to the map that the ecu is running on. you may change the o2 sensor and have it still do it. its a fair bit of money to get rid of it. come to think of it i think my car does it (r33). i will check over the weekend. i know it used to do it, but i haven't taken much notice for a while. i did replace my o2 sensor a while back (trying to get better fuel economy). didn't make a difference to fuel economy. i'm about 90% sure it used to do it, but i'm not sure if it still does.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
