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

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.

nah standard ecu. cheers, yeah i'm thinkin it could be the leads to coil packs, i have read other people's posts with similar problems and they were talking about CAS, wat is CAS? and if it is this how can i check

Yeah,,check the ignition leads and look for a vacuum leak too,,might just be that

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.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
