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???

i reckon get rid of ya atmo bov and it prob will solve ya problem

the bov is fine..and ive had it for months..no problems..the second time i got my car tune..i fixed the bov

problem...so i dont think its related..

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

would a atmo-plump-back type bov fix this problem???

lik i have the choose to make ot plumb-back and atmo..

coz on my 33 now ive got a greddy type rs atmo bov..

which has an a key on the top to adjust the spring inside...

mit adjust that abit harder and c how i go...

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
