I've just got my R32 GTST tuned on the weekend and at idle when its warm it "hunts" up and down from 900 rpm to 1100rpm, has anyone else had this issue or is it my tune???? :D

Also does anyone else have AP Engineering Power FC with the optional boost controller hooked up and working. I hooked mine up as per PaulR33's FAQ but when my tuner was tuning it he couldn't get it working and i had to use a manual bleed valve :blink:

Any help would be great

Cheers

well i cant answer your question bu tmy car does this to but i hav an apexi safc and it does it between 500 and 1100 nearly stalls. from what ive noticed is it normaly happens when my intercooler hose clamps are loose maby worth cheking. other wise i have herd that the acc valve gets dirty and gummed up and causes this to happen as well i think its real name is air idel control valve or sompthing around those lines.

hope it works cos i no it gives me the shits when i starts to run like a rotary or sumpthing tha thas sum huge cams in it lol. but yeh fmic suk for that i thikn its just bad clamps on mine and all the bumps and vibrations on the road. le tme no if it works hope so

There's only one thing that has changed - The tune. So chances are it's not going to be the aac, BOV or clamps because these were functioning fine before. Richening up the idle is more than likely going to make it worse as more fuel was probably already added at idle, even if it wasn't it's just stab in the dark.

I wouldn't bother with self-learn again, just try bumping up the revs little by little until it idles stable. Optionally get your tuner to jump in the car on a hot day (worst for stable idling) and get him to do a street tune for economy and to fix the idle. It's far better than the fake conditions generated in the dyno tune.

putting on an ATMO BOV is going to require a retune most likely.

turn off the O2 sensor.

Its mostly likely faulty and causing the problem you are having.

Mine did it after we stuck the PFC in for the first time

Mine does it at cold start.....and it hunts up and down until warm.

So could be oxy sensor then...or acc valve...suppose I need to clean it and check.

Please confirm the checkpoints below

Has the initial idle self learning process been performed? Has it been completed?

Are the settings for the airflow meter, air cleaner correct? (Some air cleaners from other manufacturers may require setting adjustment. Also, individual vehicles may also require minor adjustments.)

Is the setting for the boost control kit incorrect?

Is the deceleration recovery RPM correct for the engine?

Has the coolant warmed up adequately?(In winter or in cold regions, the low water temp correction feature causes the idle to rise. There may be a delay until the coolant reaches a normal temperature.)

If the idle is not stable after checking the points above, please try the following.

Unstable Idle Correction-1

Use the Idle Adjust Screw(Nissan :AAC,Toyota:ISCV)to change the amount of auxiliary air.

Since the idling A/F will be unstable regardless of being rich/lean, set the A/F to around 13.5 - 15.

Unstable Idle Correction-2

Set the idle higher than the target idle for vehicles equipped with upgraded camshafts or engines with modified valve timing that creates a lot of overlap. Also, be sure to set the fuel cut RPM about 400RPM higher than the target idle RPM.

For vehicles equipped with lightened flywheels, unstable idle may persist because the flywheel causes the engine RPM's to rise and fall at a much quicker rate than normal. The idle self learning may not be enough to compensate for the amount of auxiliary air. In this case, set the fuel cut return RPM 100 - 200rpm higher and try to adjust the amount of auxiliary air through mechanical means.

Unstable Idle Correction-3

An engine with a modified displacement or compression rate will require more air at idle than factory settings. If the idle does not stabilize despite performing the steps above, it may be necessary to enlarge the hole diameter in the mechanical components (Nissan:FAAV, Toyota:FISCV)to adjust the auxiliary air amounts.

does your idle hunt all the time?

somedays mine is perfect, others its all over the place

seems to be if you are giving the car some stick, then it tends to be more likely to idle all over teh shop

doesnt overly bother me, so i havent done anything about it

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
