Light Throttle Issues.

Annoying problem that's crept itself up, on very very light throttle, the engine stutters a little, like, super light throttle (1k-1.5k~ or so RPM while in neutral) - it's not the throttle cable either because it does it when you manually give it throttle off the throttle body.

Any ideas?

Giving it a tad more throttle and it's no problems. It just makes the ride really jerky sometimes when driving in like 2nd gear at low throttle. It's an RB25DET throttle body (S2)

Cheers.

Sounds like its running lean there, possibly due to the airflow meter being dirty. Give it a clean first with a can of CRC airflow meter cleaner and see if that fixes the issue first.

Cheers, I don't have any CRC AFM cleaner, will something like Isopropyl Alcohol work?

Yup, isoprophyl alc is good, absorbs water & leaves no residue, also check plugs for gaps, & coilpacks for moisture & crap that will make things (sparks) track. give the coilpaks a wash with the iso & spray with a silicon inhibitor. Quote gospel from PI #116

are you using an aftermarket ECU?

add some more accel enrichment and see how you go

Nah, just a standard chipped ECU, it hasn't always been an issue and just seems to be intermittent, it barely did it at all on the way to work this morning. I'm still at work though so haven't tried the cleaning stuff yet.

FULL RABBIT OR NO RABBIT!!!!!! noone likes a tortoise, light throttle is for wimps.

Haha, unfortunately that doesn't work so well in peak traffic :(

Plus, I wish my car had a lawnmower style throttle instead of an accelerator pedal :P:D

ok so you want it fixed then.

afm or sticky butterfly would be a good place to start... get out with some carby cleaner.

slight vacuum leak.

dodgy injector, may be spraying to much or dribbling out and flooding one cylinder or not spraying enough due to blockage and running lean in one cylinder.

dodgy plug, same as dodgy injector but different.

Well I just sprayed the AFM and all the coilpacks with iso alc - left it for a bit to dry then fired her up, it was doing the up n down up n down up n down revs at low throttle still but only for like 10 secs, from then on it seemed all good.

I didn't have any long sockets for the spark plugs but will find some if it happens again over the next few days.

Cheers guys.

Changed the spark plugs, no difference - thought I wanted to change them anyway :) (and only $20NZD for the set, can't go wrong)

Until on my way home, hit a little boost and FSHHHHH, the silicone joiner between the turbo and the intercooler piping blows off.

I have a feeling this has been the problem all along, leaking out of top of this joiner.

Gotta try my best to get it on real good tomorrow morning, will post back results.

good work man... that will do it. hope its all good.

Yeah cheers, I tried my best but I think my hose clamps are being shit as well as the 90 degree silicone bend.

Getting a 90 degree stainless welded onto the end of the intercooler piping to eliminate the 90 degree silicone bend and put a straight silicone joiner between the turbo and IC piping instead.

Actually works out to be similar price in the end anyway, just a little more hassle but becomes better off in the long run.

Going to get a new hose clamp as well to replace the one that I think is no good.

Will post back results tomorrow night ;)

Just f**ked around with hose clamps and shit just to see if I can have it running a bit nicer for tomorrows driving.

Started the car up, idling like f**kin' shit, hunting up and down, getting worse and worse and then stalling.

'f**k this' I think to myself, get in the car and just go for a wicked thrash.

Park back up again, idling like a f**kin' dream and not being gay on low throttle, WTF!

So see what happens tomorrow morning on the way to work! - Still going to replace the silicone 90 degree with stainless steel though.

What AFM are you running? It might have the dreaded bad solder joints on the board inside.

It's an RB25DET S2 AFM, I have a 300ZX AFM here ready to go in whenever I can get the car tuned/chipped.

Is it something that I can fix myself? Or if I open it up will it be easily spotted?

Cheers.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
