yeh mine does the same, it would seem most do this, im just more interested in the fuel smell part, anyone here have a straight through? Rekin urs sounds pretty quite so i would assume uve got a decent exhaust on urs.

mine does that too.

i dont mind. its like a reminded not to go too fast when its cold :(

after about 1 or 2 minutes of driving. its completely fine.

hhahah oh so true mine does the same thing and it is a reminder a little, only eva does it first thing, wat about if u start ur car on a hot summer day wit hot air im pretty sure from memory it does it but alot quicker to jump to the pace,

let it warm up u dont notice shit

AAC vale cloggin its understandable to

U cold start issue i had was fixed wit a new AFM

cheers brett

got a apexi catback exhaust :P

Ive had my afm checked, o2 sensor checked, aac valve cleaned, pod filter cleaned, fuel pressure checked. Not sure what else to check? haha

There must be some common fault we seem to all be overlooking which causes this :s

Yeah i think that is the case, i dont think its a problem it seems normal. Others probably dont notice it because they warm up their car more than we obviously do. Therefore they dont experience this problem. I gurantee once winter hits this topic will be covered many times again.

I have the same deal (the cold start, have to blip the throttle once to keep it running) and the the hestitation. Mine does it at 2k if I don't let it warm all the way up (which can take like 10mins if not driving!). I figure at 2k it's just limp mode because it's still cold. I let it idle for minimum of 30 seconds before taking off and just take it easy and shift below 2k until my temp guage is at halfway then it's all fine. Usually she gets enough to as it takes me to smoke a cigarette in the morning to warmup, which barely moves the needle, then I start driving her.

P.S. This is on an RB20DET :)

mine is the same, hesitates on startup then runs like crap for a bit... i think it pings sounds like popcorn popping under the bonnet, has no power and feels like the coils are f**ked, a quick squirt in 1st or 2nd around the corner makes it go away

nisskid mine does this also, i have straight through exhaust with a "special" cat

except if you stand outside the car it burns your eyes! still seems to run fine at

normal operating temp and has been tuned so maybe just an r32 thing??

alright thats good to know, cheers.

think knock sensor.. consult shows timing going to 7 degrees and not altering while accel, then past a certain point, jumps to 20-30 degrees. suspect knock sensor problems causing the issue. at first thought it could be coolant temp sensor (causing rich run to make sluggishness) then i plugged the consult in.

i can up a file if anyone wants to see it. i am on a S13 swapped RB20. anyone with a really fresh RB20 having this problem? maybe the sensor rattled loose in the case, or theres an abnormal rattle in the motor when its cold....

oh yes, i have 2 ECU's one is chipped and tune the other is unchipped stock. both ECU do the same thing

check the thermostat...

my car used to run shit for a good ten minutes every morning, turned out the thermostat was rooted and allowing water through the radiator all the time... my piston rings were also cactus and that didn't help:/

ive run my car with 4 diff thermo's, 180's and 170's. also with no thermo at all, and also with "water restrictor" (metal with a hole in it to slow down total flow, but no thermo element)

nothing helped this problem except getting it hot faster, which would be a totally clogged radiator and a thermostat LOL

  • 4 weeks later...

just bumping this thread as i've found a temporary solution that i use now...

try this:

- start the car

- let it idle for 30sec - 1min, give it a blip of the throttle to check that its got its usual flat feel to it

- turn the car off

- immediately turn the car back on

- blip the throttle again... notice the flat feel is gone?

i was getting annoyed by having the car jerk around for a few minutes while i had passengers in it and its very annoying. this way the car drives perfect. its no excuse to stop driving sedately while the engine warms up, but it restores the dormal driving characteristics in the mean time.

must be something to do with the ECU sensing that the engine has been off for a certain period of time. thus, when the car is turned off and then on again, the ECU thinks its been on recently and uses the normal timing and fuel maps...

keen to see if it helps others... post up your results...

cheers,

Warren

well i seem to be having the same problem as everyone else...tho my car starts perfectly ever morning..but its the drives...ill be driving n as soon as it reaches around 3000rpm..it feels like its got no power...i usually just keep driving till the temp needle reach half way n its gone..that usually take around 5 to 7mins

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
