ok good news, i have no errors when i checked with the consult software on my r33gtst, but i have one question, when ignition is on but car is not running, it says my timing is 20 degrees, and when running it fluctuates alot, from 5-35 it bounces around alot, also, my o2 readings are all over the grid, going from one end of the guage to the other just back and forth, im trying to figure out why my idle is rough, could these issues be causing it? or arent these issues?

cheers

ive just done the same thing, and i noticed when it almost stalls when you touch the accellorator, the o2 sensor has a bit of a spaz, then the timing adjusts to compensate (correct me if im wrong). i also noticed my aac valve fluctuate, is this normal?

Your fluctuating O2 reading is known as O2 sensor frequency (rich-lean-rich-lean), which is completely normal. Im pretty sure consult will read 20 degress BTDC when ingnitions on. And it will change whilst driving. Soo all sounds pretty normal too me.

turn ign on but dont start he car, and turn the tps until it reads zero on consult.

Then get a big phillips head screw drivers and adjust the IAC screw until the idle settles down. Then do an ECU reset (disconect the battery) and you should be good to go

i thaught its ment to read 0.38V?? and which is the iac screw? is it the one on the throttle body??

cheers

yes normally 0.45v or there abouts (check service manual), definitely not 0v

one quick way to adjust idle screw is after car up to full operating temp, watching AAC value come down as you adjust idle screw, and once AAC stops coming down (should be under 30) can stop. but good idea to check timing with timing light and also do proper base idle adjustment via consult (free conzult has the test in it) after this.

on 32s and 33's there are 2 small phillips head screws the hold the TPS on the shaft (LOL SHAFT)

if you loosen those off you can turn the TPS

ok, so if i losen say the top one? adjusting the tps will do what to my idle? and what am i looking for it to do exactly?

(ive never done this can u tell?) :P

you will need to loosen both as it rotates, wont really affect your idle, but it may help if the ECU thinks that the throttle is slightly open when it isnt.

ok, so what exactly am i trying to achieve when im rotating the tps?

get the TPS to around 0.45v. so obviously dont need to if its close to this already.

check your AAC value when car warmed up and idling, and also check the Closed Throttle switch in ECUTalk software to make sure its triggered (on) when throttle closed and off when its opened.

ok, whats the AAC value supposed to be when warm?

mine doesnt seem to go under about 20, but other people have said theirs will come down to like 10 or 16. as long as its south of 30 is usually sufficient - too high and can result in stalling and other issues.

however, if the ECU is pulling timing, then its likely that its too low currently all else being equal/OK (i.e. it cant close the AAC any more to lower idle, so has to drop timing) so you might have to wind the idle screw until the AAC value starts to move UP.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
