hi guys, been having this on going issue on my R34 RB25DE+T ever since the turbo conversion.

when cold (left overnight for example) i start it the next day and the idle is very rough and lumpy and the car full shakes/rumbles etc but give it 2-5minutes then it will just idle normally.

any idea what causes this and how i can fix it?

i took apart the AAC on the weekend and gave that a clean with TB cleaner but no luck.

however i believe the plug connecting to the AAC wasnt properly connected and it was tuned like that.

when i got the car back i thought the rough idle was caused by o2 sensor not being connected (thats what the tuner also told me) so i connected it up and it still happened.

2 months later, i serviced the car and i plugged it all back in after putting the sparkies in then it idled like sh*t (stage 3 cams like) even when warm so i disconnected the plug to the AAC played around with the idle adjuster screw a bit and manage to get it idling okay but till this day, as mentioned above, it still idles sh*t when cold.

any help much appreciated as it is quiet frustrating not knowing why its doing it.

Cheers :blink:

emanage ultimate

apparently the first guy said he tuned it for cold start

which i dont think he did as i found alot of short cuts in the tune since taking it elsewhere.

fmic,

turboback exhaust

spark plugs

oil + oil filter

gtt injectors

33 gtr fuel pump

turbonetics turbo + ext gate

stock manifold

intake pipe

moodles; no i did not. but it never happened previously when it was NA.

so wat im thinking is the tuner tuned it with the AAC disconnected.

i think MBS206 is spot on here. will have to speak to my new tuner to see if it can be fixed easily.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
