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.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
