I have a 1992 R32 GTR that has some idling issues. New motor and R34 Vspec II turbos with about 2,000 miles.

After it is warmed up sometimes it will idle upwards of 1,300 to 1,800 rpms sometimes it wont. Then sometimes it will idle at 1,300rpm and repeadily surge about every second steadily. The two MAF"s were just replaced and the catch can is empty. I did the research and found out that it might be the AAV.

Where is this AVV at?

If this issue continues after I clean the AAV, what else could it possibly be? I dont think a spark plug would cause this but who knows. It's a pain in the @$$ to find spark plugs here in Korea.

its an AAC valve... it sits under the plenum.... it controls the air going into the engine. when the throttle is closed......

give it a clean but idsay if it does it when it is warm its either ur tps or ur air regulator,.......

give it a clean any way...

try resetting the ecu after u clean it...... also

I have the powerFC. How do I reset it without losing the tune? Is it just like a normal ECU, unhook the battery for a few minutes?

Thank you for the local on the AVV btw.

Can't reset a PFC.

High idle on a GT-R is commonly a result of cleaning the throttle bodies around the butterflies (which you shouldn't do).

According to the workshop manual, the idle air adjustment is on the AAC valve.

I didnt clean the throttle bodies since I have owned the car. The previous owner didnt either that I know of.

Tomorrow morning I am going to clean the AAV and change the plugs if I can find a set locally. I will look for the idle air adjustment too. Hopefully this will fix it.

Oh another thing that started two days ago which I have to check also is the exhaust temp gauge is going hay wire, as in slamming the needle back and forth like a baby playing with a rattle.

I appreciate all the input honestly guys, the nearest shop I would trust to work on the car is about a 3 hour drive. So doing alot of learning. I am used to NA motors, had an EVO 9 for a few months though. It was brand new so nothing to fix, LOL.

nope. there is a how too... its 4 bolts.... pretty easy.. try running some injector cleaner through or get ur injectors cleaned... and replace the o-rings. it wont be ur throttle bodies.... its most likely a vacume leak form somwhere......try clamping off ur hoses to find if one has a pin hole in it.......

it could also be ur one way valve (pcv valve) conects to ur rocker cover breathers via hose.... clamp the hose off when its revving high to see if that fixeds it......

So I cleaned the AAV, that wasnt the problem. According to my Power FC, the O2 voltage is 3.94 and the car is running rich. Could that be it? The surging problem is fixed, my 4 year old daughter messed with the idle settings when I wasnt looking and the wife didnt know that the hand held was vital to the car.

they run pretty rich on idle anyway with a standard ish tune....thats just a gtr thing.... yeah id prob look at the idle settings you can try and replace the o2 sensor but it will always run rich...

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
