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

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
