High Idle Problem

Hey guys,

I have a bit of an idle problem that has been hanging around for a while since i got my engine rebuilt about 5000ks ago and its still bugging me. Before the rebuild it was fine. Here are the symptoms.

When I had the stock ECU when i first start it up in the morning it would idle at like 1800 rpm when cold. When it is warm it would idle usually between 1100-1600rpm. Sometimes up to 2000rpm, but very rarely. If i have the fan or a/c on it would idle at like 2000rpm sometimes. Now my mechanic has checked everything like the aac valve and idle screws but could find nothing wrong with it. So he suggested maybe an ECU problem

Now I have got a power FC and the problem is still there but slightly different. When i first start up the car whether warm or cold it goes to 2000rpm, and probably sits there for about 10-20secs and then drops down to like 1400rpm. And once i start driving for a while when i come to a stop, it would only go down to 1800rpm, then after like 5 secs or so, it would drop down to like 1400 to 1100 rpm and stay there. But if i had the a/c on or fans on it would keep idling at 2000rpm. This is really annoying! And i dont know much about the pfc as my tuner installed it and set it up for me.

Unique said the idle problem could be something to do with the rebuild. Im not sure what the part was called but he said its in the intake manifold and that it has been cleaned or machined too much and thats why its idling so high. What is going on with my car?? Does anyone have any advice for me?? I really wanna get this fixed up.

Thanks everyone!

I have a similar problem that goes away for a few days everytime I change something, has been very frustrating, the last thing I did was to re-gas the air con, as I was told it could be to do with the dual pressure switch, it worked for a few days, now I have hunting again... but do a bit of a search for hunting, you might find a few ideas :)

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
