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.

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
