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....

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
