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.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
