hey guys, just got a few q's about some issues im having.

The issue is with start up/idle. When i start my car i always turn the ignition on and wait for the fuel pump to prime, but when i do this, just before its primed it starts to make a bubbling noise. sounds like there is air in the fuel lines or something. Then when i start the car i have to give it a bit of throttle to start it. Thennn on idle she has a miss, its REAL bad when its cold, nearly stalls sometimes and gets better as she warms up, but never stops. When i drive its fine and dosn't miss a beat. I am also getting shocking mileage from a tank.... about 300 - 340 km per tank. And to top it off i think it leaning out bad after about 6000rpm :S

Only fuel system mods i have are bosch in tank pump and safc II.

Anyway, im taking the car down to the dyno on tuesday to have it tuned and looked over but i just wanna know if there is a solution to this as id rather have it fixed before the dyno rather than going there and then having to fix it and go back.....

Cheers

could be a duff plug or 2. Did you have the car tuned after fitting bigger fuel pump as it may well have stuffed the old tune. I did see a lower AFR when i put new fuel pumps in and if your old pumps was a little tired evenmore so, and if your running rich you may have fouled a plug hence why it idles a bit rough until it warms up.

Then again i could be wrong as i seem to be good at that. :-)

i have not had my injectors looked at, nor do i know the age of the fuel pump as i purchased the car with it. i dont think its sparkies as i changed them and that did nothing.

Also, would gtr injectors run on a standard gtst ecu? when i purchased the car it had a re-mapped ecu and the guy i bought it off said he thinks it has gtr injectors. i later changed to a standard computer thinking that it may have been a shit tune, but it was exactly the same so i assumed they were standard.... if they are gtr ones that may be it.... :S

i get that bubbling noise in the missus pulsar, and it starts perfectly, so i don't think it would be that. it could be a clogged injector which isn't shutting off 100% so richening the mixtures up. otherwise try cleaning the aac and iac valves to make sure it isn't them.

Ok! I've now had the car down at the dyno and it is running really lean everywhere. initially it was thought to be the air flow meter. i replaced that but it didnt really change anything.

-Tacker- The injectors have red tops

im now backing the injector theory and possibly just bad fuel pressure. is there a way to test fuel pressure and the fuel pressure reg?

Also mad082 how do i clean the aac and iac valves? and where is the iac valve located?

Cheers

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
