Hey guys

as the tittle suggests i need some help/advice on my little car trouble.....i have a r33 s1 and lately when i start it in the morning or when its cold the stutters for about 10-20 seconds or so and then idles properly.....and yes i have a load of fuel in there.....and once its warm it runs normal with all the power.....so i was just wondering what is going on there?????

thanks

Krish

I too am having the same thing happen only in the last week in my series 2, thought it may have been my fuel pump or filter so took it to get dynoed on monday and he said everything is running perfectly with no error codes.

When its warm no problems, only when its cold it will idle low amd eventualty the engine drags it up.

I looked through the forums and i think someone was saying something about cold start sensor or valve, does anyone know anything about this or have any other thoughts??

yeah when you cold start it sounds like the engine is going to die off but after a few seconds it drags itself up to normal idle......well i figured that it cant be the fuel filter as after it has warmed up it runs brilliantly.....so wtf is wrong anyone please....

Yea its your idler thing me and Luke just cleaned mine

krishy i find it hard to believe your idle isnt moving

iv'e got amother issue also after my car has been on for a little while after not being on for ages 5 mins into driving it falls over sometimes i can back off and on and it comes good alot of the time i have to pull over wait 1min and restart car and them it's all good

after the cold start the revs jump up down up and down.....but once its nice and warm it just sits at either 1000rpm or sometimes around 1000-1500rpm....it only jumps up to 1500 from 1000 rpm if i have my fan and other things on at the same time.....but now i come to think of it lately it has been sort of jumpy.....not really noticeable though.....so i will take the baby out for a spin after work and see how it goes from there....fill you all in about it tomorrow

Rush: thats the one, IAC AAC number of different names with the same function.

Krishy, its quite possible the buildup prevents the initial movements of the IAC that's why its bad when cold. Once the car warms up and it has broken the "seal" - less noticable. once cools down again, same issue. Try it and see, cant do any harm giving it a clean anyway ;)

yeah i think i will have to give this a go......well it wont hurt really.....but i am not a very mechanically minded person so slightly hesitant on doing this....anyone with experience....there is a carton in it for ya

I'm free this Sat arvo and I wanna do the same thing. I'll be the guinea pig! :P

Forget what Madaz says ... I'll take the carton! :woot:

j/k

Just did my AAC then, was filthy, went through half a box of ear buds. Its not hard krishy, just a prick of a spot to get into. Started it up dead cold and seemed to run normal. Will let it cool right down again and try again a few times but seems to have fixed it so far.

Thanks fellas for all ur help. Let us know how it goes krishy

hey just wondering do you start the car up when you jump in.... or do you get in turn to 1 click back from run and wait for the fuel pump and injectors fill as sometimes they can be a bit dry then starting it up with no fuel in the injectors makes the car stutter for a few seconds.

juest a suggestion.... cheers... michael

also another reason this could happen would be if you have aftermarket ecu and the cold start isnt setup properly, my old 31 coupe used to die a few times on cold mornings before it would run just cause the cold start hadnt been setup on the microtech, probly isnt in this case but just another thing for people to note if they have this issue.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
