High Revs, Bad Hunting

I am having a lot of trouble sorting out this hunting problem on my R33.

When cold the car idles at 2000rpm, when warm idles at about 1500rpm, but sometimes settles back to about 800-900rpm which is nice.

We replaced AFM with a new one, didnt change anything.

The car seems to be much more settled when warm.

When cold the car jumps very quickly between about 700 to 2000rpm

I have cleaned AAC valve.

TPS sensor in PFC says 0.46V when car is turned off

AFM is about the same I think.

When driving AFM goes between 1.3V to 4V

O2 sensor goes up to about 0.9V

In the PFC menu I tried to adjust idle up and down in the settings, but it did not change at all...down to 200rpm up to 3000rpm and the revs stayed the same.

If you have any other ideas that would be appreciated.

On a side note my CAS has been wound right round to almost fully advanced (stock cam gear), is there any reason my tuner would have done this?

Thanks

It's a basic suggestion, but have you tried adjusting idle with the AAC screw?

Your idle control sensor could be rooted. Far as i know it's beneath the intake plenum.

haven't touched AAC screw, it was working perfectly before and nothing was touched, thats why i think its some sensor issue.

For the control sensor do I take off the intake plenum? Can they be fixed or should I buy a new one to try out?

Thanks

i had exactly the same problem about a month ago.

guaranteed its your start up air regulator.. take that off undo the four screws and see if the spring has fallen off.. if it has hook it back up.. with mine the spring had fallen off thus screwing up my idle as too much air was getting pushed through at times and then not enough other times.

Have you checked the SWITCH part of the TPS? (you've checked the SENSOR part already)

No I haven't, how do I do this?

Is this different to the AAC valve? Because I cleaned the AAC valve and made sure the spring was free to move.

Yes, it is a different valve. Here is the tutorial on how to take it off and clean / check

undoing the screws may be a bit of a mission :teehee:

Thanks for that mate, I actually read that tute and had a look for the air reg. on my RB25, couldnt see it and thought it must have been just an RB20 thing.

I will take off throttle body tonight, and add it to the list of things to check (doesnt sound easy based on that tutorial...I think ill pull the plenum off to make things easier)

Cheers - thanks heaps for the help.

Is there a way to test throttle position SWITCH?

I hope its the air regulator, or the throttle switch...its costing too much in fuel to keep driving how it is.

The air regulator (actually it's a cold start valve) is on the underside of the RB25 plenum.

The SWITCH part of the TPS needs to have 0 ohms across pins 1 & 2 (or maybe it's 2 & 3, can never remember). If it isn't correct, undo the retaining screws and rotate the switch until it is.

I am finally going to fix this problem over the weekend (hopefully tonight)..

Can someone please confirm if I take the whole plenum off to get to the air regulator? I understand its a bit diff in the RB25, the tute i have been reading is for RB20.

Do I just check the spring when I get it off, and give it a good cleanout with contact cleaner? or do I need to test it with a known working one?

I will have a look at the TPS switch tonight, I have a multimeter somewhere which I will work out how to use tonight.

Thanks again - sorry to keep repeating questions...I have never had to sort out an issue like this before.

The throttle closed sensor is what is also built into the TPS. It should read 0 ohms when the throttle is closed and infinity when its anything but closed. Your TPS voltage is about right so try to stay near .5v closed and 4.5-5v full throttle. I have my doubts it will be that if your chewing fuel also. It would just stuff your idle up. More inclined to think its the Air reg (cold start). Get it off and check its clean and all assembled properly.

Do I need to take off plenum to get to Air reg ( cold start )?

Maybe try checking your connections on your intercooler pipes. Ive got an RB20, & some of my connections were shit. The pipes are too short & the silicone pipes weren't sealing properly. I've had to put the clamps right on the end of the pipes really tight to stop the leaks. My idle was hunting all over the place, now its hardly missed a beat.

May only be an RB20 problem, but i would tend to assume its a Nissan forced induction problem in general. Hope this helps....

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
