While idling the engine 'blips', just a lumpy idle really. I did a bit of research and found it could be a problem with the RB25 throttle position sensor. Is there a connection?

I cleaned my AAC valve and AFM but didn't fix anything.

Any advice?

good old nissans...never idle properly.

could be coils, plugs, tps.

I've done plugs recently. So that leaves coils and TPS.

I read the "tape your coils" thread, so i'll give that a try.

What are the possibilities it's the TPS?

Yeh i'll reset the ECU, though i doubt it'll fix it.

My rpm's aren't affected but i can feel the engine vibrate, even with music pumping (no sub :blink: ).

I'm guessing there's some magical thing i've missed that needs cleaning/fixing

this is what mine does, is it sorta the same thing? i also cleaned aac valve, regapped plugs and cleaned afm but nothing helped. My next try will involve dumping it at a workshop and praying they can fix it!

My car was idleing like that just after i fitted the new turbo that had a .7 comp housing and still managed to have the stock afm attached thanks to some attachments. 2 days later i fitted the Z32 afm and a retune and now it idles fine...

Maybe its the air flow meter if u havent touched anything recently?!

yeah, mines doing the same thing..and i thinks it getting worst!!!

(MODS)

i drive a r33 s2 skyline..

i got a hks exhaust, 3A Racing POD, FMIC,greddy ATMO bov, splitfire coilpacks, re-gapped ngk iridiums plugs to 0.8,

boosted up too..running on 12psi, and got an ApEXI NEO (and had tuned twice)

(ISSUES + CURRENT PROBLEM)

and now im getting really bad flat spots, bad idle etc.. lol and hunting issues again..which wer all gone..

but now everything is back at once..lol

(WHAT I"VE TRIED)

plus ive tried cleaning throttle body, intake manifold with forton carby cleaner(the best stuff u can get)

cleaned the IACV(the 3 bolts that are on the end of the manifold) took it off and gave it a good clean etc..

but yeah evan sprayed vac line that gone down to the IACV.. tryed cleaning afm with electrical contact cleaner too..

(MAIN PROBLEM)

idle issues wen starting the car are now gone..but yeah

hunting issues wen clutch in/etc..

revs drop down to like just under 500rpms...and then from there it will start hunting..

only sometimes it will do this...usually it will go back up to 1100rpms..but other time it will hunt..

it like it trying to prevent itself from stalling..???

hunting pretty bad...

(APEXI NEO - DEC AIR SETTING ISSUE)

i've looked on my setting on the apexi neo..

the DEC AIR SETTING isnt turned on, i believe...it say's off,

and then i cant turn it on,(its not anon/off type select...

it goes and changes to %..and starts from 0%..s wer do i put it too???

so yeah, a bit confused....

so anybody now u to use this setting??

and do u reckon a z32 afm and new fuel pump + a re-tune will help???

there are a few known causes of idling style issues. dirty contacts (AFM or TPS), worn out valves (AAC valve), and other wear style issues (wiring, coil packs etc).

these would typically result in unstable idle, fluctuating idle, or blipping style idling - the r33 service manual would list several fixes and corrective measures for this, you should download it and have a read

the engine rpm dropping to 500rpm (almost stalling) on clutch in is usually associated with an atmo bov

its been covered to death over a 100 times, its always usually the atmo bov, it dumps air that the AFM has already measured

so the mixture is out of scale, as the air is missing so the engine overstalls and rpm's plummet

    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
