COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT. SOME F...WIT MECHANIC HAS F.....KD WITH MY CAR AND NOW THEY CAN'T GET IT TO IDLE UNDER 2000 RPM. THEY TOOK THE INTAKE OFF TO REPLACE ALL OF THE HEATER HOSES AND SINCE THEY HAVE PUT IT BACK TOGETHER THEY CANNOT GET IT TO IDLE ANY LOWER. ANY IDEAS? THESE WANKERS HAVE ALREADY HAD MY CAR FOR OVER 10 DAYS! THANKS. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Sounds a bit off could you pm me the name of said workshop plz.

Have you got the car now? if you dont get a trailer and go get it and dont pay no money. Are you running standard ecu?

Also did they touch the intake plenum at all?

Might also be AAC vlave or AFM related

how does it run Although it is idling high ?

I would guess an air leak in the intake system If they havent tried to adjust anything to cause it.

it's running fine, he was looking for air leaks this afternoon the f...ken dick head, i don't know what they have adjusted if anything. i think he was just trying stuff.

unplug your idle control solenoid and screw all the way in the course adjustment screw on your ICS and see if the idle drops any, if at all.

If it doesn't chances are the gaskets between the throttle bodies is broken when they removed the plenum or they have left one of the many vacuum control tubes and feeds off altogether or split one of the hoses while removing them etc ect etc. Such a leak bleeds into the common vaccum rail and thus feeds all cylinders and upping the idle as has happened to you.

try that mate..

hi guys. sorry to jump in on this thread but my problem is similar and i wonder if anyone has come across it b4.. my 33gtr has done 1300 miles since i rebuilt it. 600bhp spec. last sat b4 i went on track had it on a dynopack for last minute checking. next day after being on track the idle is at 1500 rpm then after about 30 seconds gradually returns to 1000. phoned the tuner and he said i could have an air leak developed after going on the curcuit, which is silverstone/uk. so i sprayed all the inlet manifold/throttle bodies etc while running with wd40 to see if infact i did have an air leak. nothing not a flutter. so after reading on here about aac valve i took mine off and cleaned it up. but did not plug the lead on. he presto 950 rpm. rev it up and it drops back to idle instantly, now my problem. when i plug the lead on it revs back up again as b4. car runs d-jetro ecu. could it be in the map somewhere? hope you guys can help as here in the uk homebuilds are rare.

spec is

25/30 hks elbows.720, jun 264/272 cams.tomei pump etc. car made 519 at the hubs.. bernie /uk

Have u tried to screw the adjustment screw on the outside of the aac valve body?

Also i ran into this problem when i rebuilt my engine & found that if i undone the throttle butterfly stops & backed them off 1/2 a turn it idle as normal 900 rpm

    • The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"
    • Pretty stout result. How much boost? Anything left in it?
    • Just dropped the car off at MX5 Mania to install the intake plenum and give it a little retune  My impatience hates the waiting game 
    • SAMSONAS      Just saying      U know and we know U wanna     Just a matter of time....
    • This is kind of what I expected given the use case. I took my liners out for track days too.... It makes me consider just getting a diffuser and not bothering with the arch liners themselves. For the most part I would like to avoid water/mud/jank splashing up from under the car onto the bottom of the engine, lines, wiring, etc etc. (but brake ducts are cool too). Especially given this post on SAU here: Where it's implied you have to cut them because the actual tub is different? Which is pretty damn worrying because that is where the liners rub in a GTR with wider wheels... I definitely won't want to pay $2000 for plastic then cut them up. It also means said wider wheels rub on the tub in a GTT? FML. That said, I have found some evidence someone ran a 295/30/18 without scrubbing these liners. (and by extension.. the tub).
