Hi All,

Just looking for some help - engine is an RB25DET Series II...

I noticed tonight that when I open the throttle I get a click like a blown fuse from this thing...

Problem is I don't know what it is or what it does. It is situated at the front of the engine on the intake side right next to the thermostat.

Hoping you can shed some light here are the pics: Anybody know about it?

Thanks,

Or I could have been wondering why there was a plug that was not connected and why the car was not feeling normal.... Its pretty damn obvious when your under the bonnet and pull the throttle cable...

Got news for you lachlnw - this is a forum - believe it or not people use it to learn, others not naming names use it to express to the rest of us how much of a knob they are

I'll let the people decide which category you fall into.

jesus christ you need to get a girl friend . or a new one that you dont avoid enough to find stuff like this . seriously what were you trying to do when you discovered this?

Young people of today :laugh:

I Guess then, if youd mentioned the plug wasnt connected and the car wasnt running right in the OP, then people wouldnt have jumped on you about not worrying about it :worship:

Dont worry though, SAU is well known for the veteran members flaming the crap out of people all the time, you arent the 1st and wont be the last!

Just Chin up and ignore it. :(

    • Give it 40psi and send it to the moon
    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
