afm cleaned, aac cleaned, t/body cleaned, tps adusted, new fliuds, plugs and filters, etc and still happening.

only on cold starts/idle. hot idle it is perfect and car runs normal.

wtf is the issue?

Note: idle will drop to around 200rpm around the 2.5min mark.

any ideas would be great!

i'm not sure how good you are at maths, but that is actually 400rpm that it is dropping to, not 200rpm. each of those marks is 200rpm.

as for the idle, i'd start by adjusting the idle screw to get the idle up. there is a proper way to set the idle. from memory you need to get the car warm, then turn it off. then disconnect the TPS plug, restart the car and rev it over 2500rpm about 5 times in a few seconds. this should lock it into base idle mode. you may find that the idle is totally different to what it is normally. then adjust the idle up to where you want it, turn the car off, plug back in the TPS and you are all set.

or you can just use a consult cable and a program like datascan i think it is. that's what i do.

when the ecu is in base idle mode it locks the timing at 15 degrees, and locks the IAC/AAC valve at 40 and doesn't try to self correct the idle. this way you can get the idle adjusted to a point where the ecu can then use the IAC/AAC valves to adjust the idle in either direction. if you just simply wind the idle screw without it being in base idle mode the ecu may try and compensate to keep the idle where it is and you won't actually be altering the idle until the ecu has run out of adjustment, which means at othe times the ecu can't adjust the idle to where it needs to be.

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
