Hey :(

Well i have in general... a problem... :( as alot of ppl do but shouldnt... so if anyone can help me would be much appreciated...

Its an R32 Skyline GTST .... Ok... so i just had my car in to a place called APC in springwood... i got my timing belt done, all the other belts at the front done, new spark plugs, injector flush, throttle body cleaned, new fuel pump, dyno'd etc....

has been all good for about 2 weeks... until now...

i was driving along 2 nights ago and just all of a sudden the revs started dying, and then it picked up... then they started to die again... and way kept my fooot on the gas while it was doing it and the whole car just started to stop go stop go stop go... like shaking... so i pulled over... and the engine conked out... so im like WTF?

start her up and she was fine for about 2 or 3 minutes... then it did it again and again... and then i pulled up at a set of lights and the idle had a mind of its own... revving till about 2000 / 2500 RPM then going to idle, reving idle reving idle just reving by itself...

so like i pull over and turn the bitch off... and wait a minute,.. and turn it back on... and its fine... for another few minutes...

so u could say its hunting i spose... i think thats the term u use for when it revs on its own....

and it doesnt do it at all when its cold or just warmed up... more or less after its been for a drive for more then 10 or 15 mins...

kinda weird.... i was thinkin 02 sensor.... or TPS.... or idle speed motor... or a vacuum leak somewhere...

maybe someone can narrow it down for me :laugh: or tell me where these things are and what to do to check them out

Thanks heaps guys

-Josh

yeah the fuel filter isnt that old either... maybe like 10 mnths old or something? but fuel pump was just done... and it was on the dyno... and i only fill up using vortex 98 or shell v-power.... so i dont think i would have got a bad batch of fuel... ok has anyone got an engine manual or e book on the RB20DET... im not completely null minded of engines etc but i honestly dont know where the aac valve is.... or the 02 sensor... unless your talkin about the one under the car on the exhaust system? and i assume your talking about the ECU behind the dash?

yeah no problem dude... ill let you know of any progresses :ermm:

hey mate, have you tried resoldering the joints inside the afm or just cleaned the plug out with contact cleaner? i spent a thousand bucks chasing a missfire/idle prob and i eventually fixed it myself for nuthin. pulled the afm apart and resoldered the joints inside. runs perfect now.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
