stock airbox on with panel filter + lid = car idling badly sounds like its about to stall

stock airbox on with panel filter but no lid = car idling badly sounds like its about to stall

stock airbox on with no panel filter but with lid = car idling badly sounds like its about to stall

stock airbox on with no panel filter and no lid = idling fine

any ideas?

Dodgy air flow meter

Idle sensor might need to be adjusted. It's idling badly when there's a restriction on airflow with restriction, but fine where there's no restriction. Start by cleaning and/or adjusting the sensor till it idles fine with the restriction. If you need to set the idle above 800RPM-ish then it's something else.

if there was an award for "the longest pipe dream" i think i would win it haha

OTOH, you might also win the prize for shortest pipe.

Hmmz i'll look into those tomorrow :thanks:

i justify driving because i fear flights..

weak! i be doin the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZUUTUTUTUTUTUTTUTUUUUUU on the way up. pisses off the person next to you quite nicely

Full licence is win. Still feel bad catching up to cars with Ps to see if they're hot though haha

Haha I'll still do that until I'm about 30 I reckon :P P's = over 18 = legal :D

What's bad is that I still catch up to learners haha. Might have to stop that when I get my fulls..

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
