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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
