I would say you have a leak somewhere. Start with the easy ones.

Stuck, dirty or loose throttle butterfly: clean or repair.

Faulty PCV valve: Replace

Split or leaking hoses to manifold: Replace them anyway

Leaking manifold gaskets: Spray carb cleaner around as many inlet gaskets as you can get to, while idling, and if the revs change, you found it.

If all else fails, block all the hoses to the manifold one at a time to see if that weeds it out. Could be brake booster or any part that uses manifold pressure.

Are you a running stock ECU? because if your running an SSQV with a stock ECU not plumbback then your car might idle funny bro... if not then trying cleaning your AFM and your oxy sensor and your AAC valve.

    • Hey guys Long time lurker, I daily a nm35 stagea 250t rs four and I've had it for almost 2 years (very reliable 👌). Issues or just looking for information ill always find myself here having a read, so thought id join.  3inch stainless intake, pod filter, AM performance turbo dump pipe, 3inch hotdog, 3 and half inch stainless to 3 and half inch AM performance blast pipes. Bc racing coilovers. 18inch rims Hdi intercooler and trans cooler soon.  Here's my car
    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
