Im having some issuse regarding my idle.It hunts between 1100 and 1600rpm.Ive tried many things to fix it.New plugs,cleaning the ACC but nothing seems to work.Some people have said it might be my TPS(throttle position sensor)

How do i get it reset?

Help me solve my problem as its been like this for 2 weeks now and is driving me crazy.

CHEERS

The TPS is your throttle position sensor. Im not quite sure what you mean by does this mean i dont have a throttle cable? Because of cause it has a throttle cable going to the throttlebody to open and close the butterfly. The tps is used to monitor the postion of the throttle. Take the TPS off and give the end a clean its possible that it could be giving you grief. Have you tried cleaning your AFM aswell?

afm clean: use electrical contact cleaner... p.s i wouldnt be pulling the tps off, its set to a specific point, very important it stays there unless you mark it perfectly. tried cleaning your throttle body? for that you can use carby clean. also tried resetting your ecu?

OK ive pulled the AFM off and found that there is a film of oil all around the inside of it.Seeing as its oil i cleaned it out with degreaser and is drying in the sun.will fit it in 10 and tell you the verdict.

How the hell are you getting blow by, if there is no point for the engine to dump oil into before the air flow meter?

It goes, POD filter, AFM, normally then recirc line pretty close in (From BOV), then turbo...

I don't understand how you claim blow by as the cause?

When you cleaned the air valve, did it have a HEAP of crap built up in it? (Black carbon) and when you finished did it all look nice and new?

The rocker cover breathers plumb back into the intake pipe in front of the turbo. It doesn't dump it in before the AFM it just gets a residue there and the oil builds up to a pool. I have removed a few intake pipes that have a good 20-30ml of oil in them when the turbo has been completely fine.

And has it been built up in the AFM...

Remember, the air is being sucked from air filter, to afm, to breather pipe, to turbo...

It's not going backwards.

And the AFM sits higher then where the breather pipes join, so it can't "run" there when cold.

When the turbo reverts air, it bounces back and forth between the air filter and compressor wheel. This is how it gets there.

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
