Rpm Varies Witing 2secs.. + Coughs/splutters At Higher Rpm

G'day all..

New to skylines, long story short-- I picked up a gtst 4-door R32 for a bloody bargain.

Problem #1-

After warm up & little drive, the Revs will vary between 1200-2100, and it is constant changing. Within 2 secs it changes, like im tapping the accelerater peddal. I've look around and cant seem to find a problem like this on the forum.

It is an Auto RB20det, annoying, if i pull up (& take it out of Park) the thing sits there like im whacking the peddal, makes everyone look--- like im some kinda hoon :cool: Please help.

Problem #2 (and possible connected to #1 problem)-

The car accelerates fine, great in a way, but sometimes it feels like it boost spikes. About 5000rpm or along the way up to 5000rpm, the car jumps, coughs,splutters ect..

I was thinking boost spikes.

The car is pretty well stock at the moment. so if i floor it it most of the time hesitate and splutter like mad.. possible backfiring.. - please help on this too.

I adjusted the RPM idle screw to try and get it lower, because as driving and approaching a red light, the brake had to be pressed a bit harder.. compared to other autos i drive. You can feel the force on the brakes , as if i still was applying the accellerator a little..

Cheers in advance. (oh, i also replaced the AFM) the problem was a little better, but still playing up... not much diff really.

the lumpy idle is probably being caused by a dirty IAC. do a search on here of how to clean it.

as for the splutter up in the revs, it won't be a boost spike (but getting a boost gauge will tell you for sure), but i'm guessing it is a coil pack or spark plug problem. most likely coil packs though. you could start by replacing the spark plugs as they are cheaper the coils. just get some NGK BCPR6ES plugs from your local car parts place. see if that makes it any better. if it doesn't then invest in a new set of coils

Thanks, the more I think it could be air leak or over boosting somehow.....

However, I bought a set of coil packs.. And plugs bcpr6es. Will fit the stuff tonight.

Also thinking about cleaning a few things while I take them off for the fitnent of coils ect,,,,

I just really hope it fixes the prob. I didn't mention that under no load (neutral) it will rev with no probs

if coils and plugs don't work ,,, what is next ??

Does the car make any boost at all? Hunting (idle up and down) is a classic sign of an air leak.

You could be getting spark blow out, this will happen with crappy plugs/incorrect gap/coils. This happens when the car starts making the higher levels of pressure.

Yeah it boosts... the problem is hardly there when its cold (cold air)

I fixed the idle up / down problem so far... although it idles at 1700'ish when warm. (about to clean AAC valve)

Its just the missfire/boost spike/ splutter thing now..t

(thanks guys big help and support)

Update ---

Fixed 99.9% of all problems.

I replaced the coils, and plugs...

----> LMFAO @ plugs <---- looks like they are original.. !!!

(ignore dirty/grubby fingernail :lol ) (the web-cam doesnt show proper quality of the metal. Its really chalky-white, like a burnt out cars engine block)

I also cleanded the AAC valve thingo, made a good difference. Not multi-rev level, no splutter/spikes ect..

Only problem i have now is the RPM is about 1200.

I cant seem to get it lower. Quick thoughts ?...

Might come good after i do an ECU reset...

and is there any kinda DIY to set the TPS to the correct position ?.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
