Cold Start Quirrie Take 3

Well ok so my car still appears to have some cold start issues and surging on low TP% and high boost.

Basically for all those who don't know what's up read here.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=162820&hl=

This is the strange thing I found out recently. IF I open the acc valve to bring the rpm up to 750 at idle, following the procedure in the book, the car will start like a dog in the morning, it feels like it starts on 3 cylinders coughs and the rest fire up, this process of coughing and carrying on takes probably 30 seconds. Unless I put my foot to the floor, it will start fine.

If I set the idle to 650rpm with the acc valve bring a fair way in, the car will start fine, no problems no carrying on, hit the key, goes straight to 1200 rpm and sits there. Every time, then as it warms up it drops down ect.

SO I TRIED SOMETHING . If put the fuel pressure up to 60psi and opened the acc valve up, and it started fine, so it leads me to believe it is starving of fuel.

Once I get the new coils back, the car is going to Summers and Kutsie to sought out. I am sure the issue is simple, but no idea what.

The mechanics will be looking at it soon, but HAS ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS???? HOW DO YOU TEST IF THE ECU IS PROVIDING ENOUGH ENRITCHMENT?

ALSO I still have the issue with the following:

I still have my issues with the low rpm high boost low TP% surging stuff, and no matter what I do to the fuel, it does not fix it at all.

Essentially the car stops and jerks around at 2500rpm and 3500rpm, and I do mean stop and jerk. This only occurs at low tp% and low rpm but high boost, above 12 psi. If tp% is high or flat to the floor the jerking is minimal?

HELP

yeah stock.

Offcourse, you guys are free mechanics. LOL.

Nope it's simply the fact that down here in Tas the mechanics capable of doing a decent job are limited. Also i much prefer to find the problem myself and learn.

Whats fuel pressure doing on start up? What adj. fuel pressure reg are you running?

I've always seen it as a fueling issue that in my case was sorted by cranking up the cold start enrichment (quicker start on initial crank) + ensuring 400rpm and start up load point is not too lean.

Lean out the start up load point (current rb26 pfc is load 6000 on startup) and it stumbles.

I am having similar issues to you at the moment, < 250 kms per tank and driving me nuts.

I put a new fuel pump in recently and my tuner said that the first start is really rough, starved for fuel because the fuel pump is losing pressure overnight. It is meant to hold pressure so the fuel is there to start the car. Mine is a slow leak and he only found it because i left the car there for a few weeks so he could properly tune my cold start.

I need to sort my fuel issues out, not sure if this would contribute much to the fuel consumption.

So holds solid, doesn't fluctuate.

Bugger. Its not that then.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
