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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
