Just wondering if you guys had any ideas regarding a weird problem I have with my skyline.

When the car is warm and I stop to idle...the revs rise to about 2000 rpm and then hold there and then drops down to 1100 rpm. When it is cold it smoothly idles at 7-800 rpm? Just when it is warm it is high.

I took it to a mechanic and he said it could be any number of things but he thought it could be the computer thinking it is an auto (I did a manual conversion), but somehow I am not sure about that.

Anyone else had a problem like this switching from auto to manual?

Help!

I used to get that same problem with my Ford Laser, did some tampering with the idle and when i lowered it it somehow fixed it, one of those things that doesn't make logical sense but works...

Ofcourse, that was a car that was manual out of the factory, so it could have been a completely different issue to what your experiencing, it sounds like your on the right track by assuming its a tuning issue due to the conversion.

I tried lowering the idle a ways back but it was already as far back as it would go from memory. I'll try again.

I don't think it is the tuning because the guy who installed the box made it so that the car thought it was in neutral all the time. If he did it in drive it would do it I would imagine. I'll just have to do some more tests and fiddling around.

cheers,

Dan

I found this - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Di...;hl=rising+revs. I might try this out, because it sounds more like the problem. I have A/C off most of the time and the A/C doesn't work neway.

Hey mate, i know the problem all too well next time you have the high rev, take the wire going into your Throttle postion switch out. Once you do this it confirms the s if the rev's drop, if so then you need a new throttle postion sensor. I forget how much they are but i can order them at nissan.

Many thanks,

I'll check it out. My cousin mention the tps as well. I'll give it a go. Where is it in the engine? (sorry for my ignorance), I will have a look around to see if I can find it.

if you stand at the front of your car you will see the throttle body has a small box attached to it (has a wire and a plug if its a series 1 or if its a series 1.5 it will have the S2 TPS but 1 of the plugs has no wires going into it and the S2 has 2 plugs both wired up). Shouldnt be able too miss it now

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
