Hi All,

Having a problem with the car...

I thought my Air reg and AAC needed cleaning because sometimes the car felt like it didn't idle right.

Upon taking our the air reg and aac they were both in mint condition (old owner probably cleaned em?).

So i put everything back and now my car is not idling right.

It used to idle at about 900rpm once warmed up.

Now it's idling close to 2-2.5k even when warm/hot.

The car is also shaking alot.

Anyone able to help asap?

Thanks.

check you connected all the hoses and wires/plugs back up properly.

quadruple checked.. everything looks like they are in and fine..

took the car for a drive and it wouldn't go... just rev...

kinda misfiring/missing as well.. with no go...

arghh

hey all,

still having issues with the car and need to see if anyone else has any input.

the idle issue has been fixed.

however i am still having the issue where the car is shaking like hell and when i took it for a drive no power/ won't boost etc..

i believe a cylinder is not running? or something along the lines.

anyone able to suggest what the issue could be?

the only thing i did to car was:

1. take off throttle body

2. take off AAC to clean

3. take off Air Reg to clean

and put everything back on and all these problems occured!

idle fixed now but lost cylinder? WTF?!

car shaking could be a result of leaking vacuum hoses, probably not recirculating correctly atm. Look for those small skinny hoses that attach to the intake pipe. They could be damaged/not properly connected. Worth a try :yes:

If you have stock ECU/Nistune, give the ECU a reset, disconnect one of the battery terminals, pump the brake pedal to discharge what's left and see if it still does this after the reset.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
