Hi all just got a wierd problem I've got a power FC on my R34 now all of a sudden when i start my car it idles fine then when i turn the lights on it revs to 1500rpm then drops to 1000rpm then goes back to 1500rpm and repeats over and over then when i turn the lights off it goes back to normal. :P Anyone have any ideas my BOV is set to full plumb back im going to try putting the standard one on tomorrow and see how it goes I also think it might be the AAC valve. Anyone have any ideas???

Not sure if Pfc's have "voltage compensation", but if they do, this needs to be tuned.

Either way this sounds like a tunning issue; take the car back to your tunner and ask him to ajust the tune accordingly. It could be a 2min job.

Re-run the 30 minute idle learning procedure - this should fix it.

As far as i know to get to the idle reset requires the tune to be wipe the whole tune which i really dont want to do. I just put my stock BOV back on and cleaned the AAC valve it now idles better than ever untill I turn the lights on then its the same problem Anyone know of any Power FC Tuners close to Northern Sydney/ Northern beaches???

Hmm, I don't know anything about the PFC or how it's wired in etc. But if it were me I'd be starting with the basics, make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight, check alternator charge rate with the head lights on and off and check all earth connections. That's how I'd approach this.

It might be your AFM.......give it a dust out...while you are at it clean your filter/

This sometimes can cause your problem.

It seems to me like a air/fuel problem...you said it just started to happen....so your tune might be fine.

My nephews car use to cut out on him...until he re-soldered and cleaned his AFM's.

Could also be your injectors...put some injector cleaner in your tank.

Good luck finding your fault.

Well I drove the car to Unique auto sports today and was fixed in about a minute. Some adjustment in the idle control on the PowerFC seemed to have fixed it up :sorcerer: So free plug for UAS! :stupid:

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
