Ecu Base Idle Adjustment Mode

[Samuel Leonard]

does anybody know how to make the ecu enter base idle adjustment mode manually? i've heard unplugging the Throttlebody Position Sensor (TPS) and revving over 2000 3 times will enter it but how will i know i'm in when i try? anyone done it without a laptop putting the ecu in the mode?

thanks

i know that the r33 uses the method you described, not sure about the 32. should also note that the engine has to be warm.

as to how you know when it's in base idle mode, well i don't think you can really know for sure, except that adjusting the idle screw should make a bt more of a difference than normal.

thanks. i got the cable now anyway and i can put it into base idle adjustment very easily now. thanks.

you seem like you know heaps about these cars so i'll try you, when my car gets really warm (not hot but full running temp) it feels like it gets a bit sluggish around 2000-3500 rpm. i hear it boost like normal but it just doesn't kick like when it's warming up. i mean like a quarter of the temperature guage as i never go past about a quarter throttle until the needle is a bit above cold.

do you have any ideas? it doesn't sound like i'm leaking boost.

info: stock internals as far as i am aware. (previous owner didn't say much)

r33 turbo and an unknown branded stainless steel dump.

dump back 3 inch exhaust (hollow cat i think)

codes i get from the ecu: knock sensor circuit, a/t signal (or something like that) it's a manual car though and i'm pretty sure it's factory manual.
