Rb30 N/a - Bad Idle

[evil_weevil]

Hey guys,

With my daily driver, n/a R31 RB30... I put a unifilter pod on about a month or so back and since the last couple weeks the car when coming to a stop at lights or givig way etc, the car really struggles to idle and feels like stalling.

Each time when I get home, Ive looked at all the intake connection pipes, do them up tight - and still does it and now its getting beyond a joke!

Just wondering is there anything else I should be looking at?

Car is dead stock apart from hektik pod!!

if worst comes to worst I'll ditch pod and put airbox on

Cheers,

Chris

Id try it without the filter and put the original on and see what happens. That way youll know whether its the new intake or not.

Failing that bump the idle up a bit.

This wont fix the problem, just masks the symptoms, but might stop it rattling and spluttering at the lights.

will give it a go tomorrow.

Another common prob with 31's (happened to both of mine) is the clip that joins onto the air flow metre has a lose connection, might have disturbed it when you put the pod on.

May have to join a new plug onto it, try the filter first.

took it all off, put it all back on - still bad

lately also car has been back firing a bit off the throttle (just normal driving really!)

checked sparkies and one was white - my mechanic said leaning out a bit - so maybe i have a fuelling issue, chnaged fuel filter and still bad

I think an injecter/s or pump could be an issue.

Had same problem and it actually got worse. Got a second hand AFM and it fixed the problem. I suggest borrowing one of a mate or something because they arent cheap. I was lucky because i had a wreck i could get parts off.
