Hesitation/stutter As Soon As I Touch The Throttle

Just for reference - the car is a 32 GTR, RB26 running PFC djetro

I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is (or do I?). I just wanna know if I can correct it easily.

So the story goes.......car runs perfectly, then after I changed to a "bling" clear timing belt cover > it stutters as soon as I hit the throttle - and then it revs as normal after that. So I assume I have done something to the CAS - despite being pretty careful putting it back on the way it came off :P

So am I right in assuming this is the problem and if so how can I correct it?

Is it something I can monitor on the hand controller and then adjust?

Yes I am a goose. Now that we are over that, can you help :)

Cheers.

Id be guessing CAS as thats really all u could have touched? is the base timing still corect?

You may need to test the CAS.

Unless somethig else went bung and it was just a coincidence.

If ur CAS is not dying and ur timming is correct, id take a stap and say the airflow sensor is stil ok but not reading correct voltages - prob dying. ????

Take it to a reputable workshop who works on a lot of skylines.

tmc_2: I am running MAP sensors that are like 3 months old at best. Is it possible that they would start to die this quickly?

Any other suggestions?

Lol the first post i knew u had a Map sensor but then foget :S , yeah checking airflow sensor for u is usless.

Has ot be some sort of CAS issue. What are all the things u had to take or or play wiht to install ur clear cover besides ur CAS?

I run a Wolf3d, also MAP sensor.

This is common and is easily fixed by the tunner. With the wolf there is an area of the map that compinsates for the off idle throttle response. If you have touched the CAS then it is a good idea to get your mechanic/tunner to check the timming, if the stutter is still there after they adjusted the CAS, then the tunner should be able to easily tune it out.

Just to clarify the problem:

Have the car in nuetral, then stab the throttle (only 1/2 throttle required), as the engine comes off idle there is a slight stutter.

Yep that's exactly the problem - I say I have put the timing out due to moving the cas. Need a timing light to bring it back to the original position correct? most likely 20 deg at idle.

Timing light, yes.

I think the R33 GTST's (like mine) are 15BTDC, and you could be right with 20 for your GTR. Check manual and then check timing. Rule that out first. =-]

Manual is useless.

If the dejetro is anything like the wolf, the ecu dictates the position of the CAS. Not too sure how it works but i know my mechanic fiddles with the CAS , using a timing light, after the car is idling and b4 the tune.

Hmm - you may have a point Al. I have set it back to 20 deg using a timing light and it is better but hasn't solved the problem completely. It was sitting way off - something like ~35 deg. Doesn't take alot of cas movement to be out 10-15 deg obviously.

At least the massive numbers on the knock sensor are gone though. When it was running like sh!t, I saw numbers up to 100 and this is while driving like a grandma. Knock is back to normal (like 10-20max) after testing it out today, giving it a little bit of stick.

Still not not happy with it. Although the remaining doubt may just be me being overly cautious and looking too hard for a problem.

Forgot to mention, the adjustment of the CAS is for th "base" timing, the timing is then adjusted/controlled via the tunning of the ecu.

Yeah I adjusted the timing back to 20deg and that all but eliminated the stutter.

Put it up on the dyno and checked everything to be sure. The tune is fine and still makes ~250rwkw consistently without any knock etc

But to answer your question - Yes does still happen when the car is cold. Once it's warm the stutter is gone - not ideal but I can live with it for now.

Thanks....

Curious.. Are you still running the std throttle body/cross over rubber joiner and IC pipe joiners?

I've just discovered my comp cover to IC pipe joiner is leaking slightly and it displayed the same characteristics as your problem. Pain in the arse when cold but ok when warm.

Yeah, but he's running a djetro, so a leak in the piping will not effect the running like with an AFM

hmmm, i had issues with my idle when i first got it, changed my oil and the problem seemed to go away but is now back again, im not sure if its the same problem or something similar. My car is as follows:

S1 R33 GTST

K&N panel filter

FMIC

Cat back exhaust

button clutch

i've got NGK irridium plugs, and have just done the filter and oil change (motul 8100 5w-40w), last week i changed my o2 sensor and now when the motor is cold it idles sweet, around 650rpm, but when its at op temp the idle drops to 500 then 350ish then goes between them in 4sec intervales. i touch the throttle when taking off at the lights and it stalls 2 out of 3 times, i pullup and BAM stall, , , WTF ? ! ?

im gonna clean my AAC and my AFM, i havent had it tuned since i got it (1 yr ago), so it could be that.

any ideas,

Aif

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
