hey,

I have a 93 r32 skyline and ever since i have bought the car about a month ago when i am sitting at idol the Revs fluctuate up and down around 100 -300 revs, also misfires occasionally

i have only really noticed this when its just sitting and idol and will get worse if i leave the car to idol for long periods

it does not do this when the engine is cold and the choke is on, it really only happens when the car is warm/hot

i have recently replaced the air flow meter, oxygen sensor and had the TPS (Throttle position sensor) adjusted

If anyone knows of wat could be making my car do this or have any suggestions don't hesitate to Post

cheers

clean out your idle control unit with carby cleaner. it is located on the back of the top half of the intake plenum and should be held on with 3 bolts.

is that like the iacv valve?, would the fix the misfire as well?

Yes the Iac valve will fix ur hunting idle..the misfire would be a coil pack issue

ok. yeah but if the misfire was a coil pack, it would continue as i rev up the engine wouldnt it?

Yes it does both, my car used to misfire at idle like mofo, and up above 500rpms, after i changed the spark plugs to platinums and changed the coils, it ran beautifully..But if u gonna change the coil packs,have the taped up or covered in silicon gel so no spark escapes from little hair line cracks. Either that or get splitfire coils and u wont regret it

Are you running an aftermarket ECU? I had idle hunting problems running power FC base maps on numerous RB engines.

Otherwise I would be cleaning out your ICU and changing sparks, check the coils and leads too see how they look as well.

CAS = Crank Angle Sensor...Its silver and sits on the front of the motor on the exhaust cam.

ICU is not the name...Its AAC valve = Auxilary Air Control Valve. It is located at the rear of the plenum and looks like an alloy block with a small can on it. Has connector plugged into it.

I'd suggest you clean out your AAC valve first and go from there. Theres a guide on how to do it on here somewhere. Have a search and you will find it.

if u disconnect the plug on the AAC wat will happen to the car while its running? my idle is all over the place, and when i clutch in too quick at the lights it stalls

other problem is the car is running way too rich.. the back bumper is always black??

wat to do?

the AAC valve only controls the engine idle when you turn the air con etc on and the IAC or idle air control valve does the idle if i am not mistaken?

clean them out and check for vac leaks even a tiny hole in your intercooler can screw the AFR and this will make it run heaps rich and idle like a bitch.

      Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
