Hi Guys, I am having a little issue with my idle still. I have replaced my O2 sensor, cleaned and resoldered my AFM, Cleaned my ACC Valve and reset my ECU.

The problem is that it idles at 1500-2000rpm for about 5secs and then drops down to normal! It is an RB20det in an R32 GTS-t. I have quite a few mods but don't think that is relevent at this stage.

Resetting the ECU has fixed the problem before but it came back the other day after a big drive (400KM).

I am happy to reset it again, but I am guessing it will continue to occur and due to it fixing itself after a reset it should be electrical and I think it would be worth checking the ECU for error codes and might be able to narrow it down.

I have had a look but I have not found anything conclusive.

Can someone instruct me how to check for codes (is it a light that flashes a certain number of times and that number corresponds with a particular fault?) and could someone post up a list of the codes and their meanings? Any other help would be great!!

I have also read about a consult cable that connects to your notebook... This could be good, would this be a better option?

If I am able to get all the info it could be an idea to add it to the FAQ sticky.

Thanks guys!!

Todd

do you mean that your car does this upon start up ...

i had the same prob i was told to reset the ecu and then turn the car on and let it idle to operating temp ... then hold the revs at 2000 rpm exactly until the car makes this noise bout a min or so ... let the car idle for 30 secs then turn it off ....

leave it to cool turn it back on and see if the prob is still there :ninja:

its only on a cold start isnt it?

The problem happens ALL the time. Not just when cold or first starting.

I can drive solid for an hour and stop at the lights and it will idle at 1500-2000rpm.

This is most anoying when in traffic and you are bumping along at low revs but every time you put your foot on the clutch it jumps up.

    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
