needs a 3S-GTE conversion.... LOL

nah, try cleaning out your IAC, and try doing a compression test on your motor.. I had a Celica once, with the 5S-FE heap of shit in it and the head gasket blew at 190xxx km, sick idle, no power.

try to research on coilpacks cuz i got a friend that drive a r34 gt and have similar problem. He found out it was his coilpack and spurg plug to replaces but im not sure how exactly how camery work maybe diff to skylines. im not garrentee ya it will fix that problems.

Good luck!

hey guys sorry to dig up teh old post, i forgot i posted on here for help on the car?, anyways just a update, i got my checked for WOF and it failed coz of engine mounts, but that didnt solve the problem, andther thing is when you stop at lights, the rpm remains still it doesnt move at all, but car still rattles or shake... BUT i notice one thing, when at stop at lights i turned on the air con and the shake tend to be less shaker then then the air con off? im going to get a ssecond hand IAC and see how it goes...

any help will do

cheers

Ha i rem this post.

So is it shaking the ONLY thing it does? Sure its not idling on a few less cylinders then it should be?

Tried moving your head around the engine bay when its occuring? Try zeh old screw driver to the ear trick?

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
