OK, im kinda confused now lol

my TPS was at 0.38V, i changed it to 0.45V and now the idle is way high. to be a pain, could you do a step by step process of how to reset my idle (i have done a search, but everyones got different ways)??

0.45v is only a guide to what it should be, anything between 0.35-0.45 is normal. mine is 0.42v and doesn't cause an issue. i would have left it at 0.38v. i'm pretty sure once you change the tps 0% position you have to do a learn process so the ecu knows the new 0% point.

a tps value to high causes high idle, too low and the tps wont register till the pedal is depress in a bit, i set mine too low once and had to press the pedal in about 20% before engine would rev.

STATUS and NewKleer answered the erratic idle timing on the first page. just screw the idle screw in till the aac value starts to rise. you'll notice the timing start to settle down. also the aac value shown might not go down all the way to zero. my aac valve is fully closed and consult reports 20%. i have mine sitting at 27% and timing is stable, as is idle.

looks good to me, almost same as my pulsar - are you still having rough idle?

its not that rough, but its slightly hunting and has a very slight miss every couple of seconds

my timing is still unstable, goes from 0-10 on idle, it just fluctuates rapidly, so whatever is causing my timing to fluctuate i think is the source of the problem

well 650rpm is standard idle isnt it? so at 700rpm you're higher than standard idle (perhaps due to idle screw too high), so sounds like its pulling timing.

i wouldnt have thought simply lower timing is cause of issue since heaps and heaps of cars run less than their static timing at idle, and not many have missing or anything.

presumably you get it back at 15+ or whatever if you open throttle slightly? (or normal driving). what about when u shift into gear (clutch still in). from memory i think this raises idle on my car as it goes back to 15 deg (presumably ready for take off etc), rather than 5-10.

i would have thought the issues would be more mechanical, i.e. spark plugs/coil packs etc as seems to be the problem with all skylines? not sure.

i think normal idle is 750, so mine is fluctuant from 730-780, thats as good as i can get it, i guess ill have a play with the idle screw etc, but i dont think anything is going to change

ive changed the coils and plugs, so i dont think theyre the cause

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
