For some reason when i start my car up first thing in the morning it hesitates if i pump the accelerator a tiny bit untill its been on for about a minute or so.

Lets say i start it up, its idling nice at about 900rpm, i pump it a tiny bit and it drops and fluctuates at 500-400 rpm for a second or so and then jumps up to 1000-1300 etc.

Could this be the TPS, only thing i can think of as I swapped over to a Q45 throttle body (but used my old TPS that was on my old throttle body, came off a S1 RB25 so it was all good to swap over). Anyone know what the TPS should be reading at closed and at full throttle?

And before you say it yes i have removed the water valve spring (valve that holds the throttle open a tiny bit untill warm water flows through to close it)

Thanks!

Ill check that tomorrow and let you know :thumbsup:

Nothing else really done, only started happening when i installed the greddy plenum, idles fine so cant be the plenum installation only happens when the accelerator is depressed which is why i assumed it might be the Q45 TB or TPS.

It just seems a bit odd that it only does it when its dead cold, meh.

    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
