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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
