Hi

My R32 when started cold stalls straight away if you dont rev it as soon as you start it.

What can cause this issue? thought it was a dodgy cheap ass battery but I swapped it with a good working one and same issue.

Please advice

Thanks

mine has been doing that lately, but thats cause it has been sitting in the cold, not being driven...

i think its just everything is cold... theres a slight chance it could be a lack of power, but i doubt it...

does it only do it when its cold? cause my 33 stalled last night, and its being worked on, so it hasn't been run for a little while... it wouldn't idle properly... not at first...

other then that, its never had a problem before...

The car starts but for like 3 secs cos its idling very very low then stalls

if I start it and blip or rev the throttle a little bit it idles like normal (cold start higher rev) and runs fine, starts straight away when warm

I've read that if its the air regulator it'll idle high as well when warm, so this cant be my issue then...

AAC valve is when you have crap idle but my car idles fine.

Can someone please share some ideas

  • 2 weeks later...

Could be the AAC not going to 100% on startup for cold start idle and staying at the 30% ????

Or is it the other way round???? Damn financial year end messing my brain up :closedeyes: Meh either way.... definitely check the AAC valve... I had this problem... car idled fine just took a couple of goes to keep it running in the morning!

*edit* we also found that the ignition switch was worn - if it takes a while to crank over too, check the voltage on it. I originally thought my issue was fuel on cold start (aftermarket ecu) ended up being 2 problems - ignition switch dropping current resulting in excessive cranking before firing and then the AAC being dodgy and not opening all the way for cold start and causing the stalling issue after a second or two.

Under the throttle body (guessing RB20DET), is a "cold start air valve". Can't recall if it's supposed to be open or closed at (cold) start, but then a bi-metallic strip cause it to close or open.

Pull it off, peer down the barrel. Tell us what you observe.

Yeah mine has starting problems also on cold mornings;

Here is a video;

Similar to your starts?

Just blip the throttle when car starts, thats what i do

edit;

this might help also

cranks fine

Rekin very similar but mine goes to normal cold start idle like 1500rpm, your's a bit low...

Yes just blip the throttle and everythings fine.

But I still want to sort it out as it shouldnt be like that.

what does the cold start air valve looks like? is it like the air regulator?

It's the only thing under the throttle body. Hoses attached to both ends. You can't miss it (unless you're blind!).

Actually, starting to sound a bit like dirty injectors. Had them cleaned recently?

Hey guys, i have the same problem and even better i know how to fix it!

my engine temp sensor is kaput, it is giving a higher resistents level then it should have been which indicates to the ECU that the engine is hotter then its actually is. the result is the wrong mixture of actions and fuels during startup which results in the stall.

i havn't had a chance to get myself a new sensor since uni is kicking my ass but i'm confident this will fix the issue.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
