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.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
