Common Skyline Problem!

Gdays it looks like the common cold idle problem has hit my car(94 R33GTST). As i start her up in the morning the idle either rises to about 1500-2000rpm straight away or as soon as i start driving and stop at some lights. This occurs until operating temperature is reached where it goes back to normal.

Now i have done some research before i ask this question and am just a little confused on something. Is it this cold start valve causing my problems (which i assume controls idle when cold) or the AAC valve (which i thought controlled idle along with the ecu/IAC valve when normal operating conditions are reached).As you can see im a little confused. Due to being a busy uni student i dont have much time pulling of everything and giving it a clean so i only want to go after what i/people think is the main problem.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Sorry should of been a little clearer, i mean once i start it, it will sometimes idle at its normal cold start value what your talking about but then i take it out of the driveway and drive it around for a little bit and then i stop at some lights and poah it shoots up to about 2000rpm while im sitting there and doesnt go down. Its like a valve forgets to close/open or something thats my problem and why im asking.

Thanks for the quick replies so far guys

Sounds like your automatic choke dude, although 2K RPM is higher than I'd expect it to sit on

agreed... a bit high... but none the less, it has been really cold lately... it doesnt use much petrol, and its mostly good for the car...

as long as it doesnt do it after like a 30 minute drive then your fine...

Thanks for the reply guys, well i could leave it for 5 minutes to warm up and then start driving then when i stop instead of idling at normal rpm's it will idle somewhere close to 2000rpm. I know its not a normal thing because i have had the car for like 3 years without this happening before. And it has also occured after like 20 minutes of driving just last night. So im very confused. I know about cleaning the AAC valve and that but is there a separate valve what controls the car at idle when cold or is it just the AAC controlling idle? If people could clear that up for me that would be great thanks. :ninja:

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
