when i start up the car the idle goes higher than normal and feels unbalanced in the engine, as i start up it will shoot to nearly 2k rpm idle, and to stop it i have to blip the throttle a couple of times to get it to calm down to normal, what causes this?

i cleaned the AAC yesterday, didnt change anything

any other ideas?

could be an issue with your cold start or even timing.

An AE86 sprinter that a mate and I used to work on had the timing advanced a little, but for some reason at idle the revs would climb to about 2.5k and then drop to 600rpm, then climb and drop. etc.

he ignored it, and nothing eff'd up yet?

maybe a similar issue.

ill have to check out my timing then, any easy way apart from taking the radiator out to see the notches on the crank?

the other thing is, its only just started doing it recently, and i havent touched the car since i bought it

not to sure with the RB's bud. hopefully other guys can help.

or just take it to a mech, i'm sure alot of mech's in our area have dealt with RB's.

Theres one near hallam station that are pretty good with em, and reasonable to deal with aswell!

they generally take a look for free. worth a shot?

No chance of it being fuel pump related? Might be ECU being ghey with the pump and it leaning out = high idle?

possible factor, would this also cause heavy fuel smell while driving sometimes? how do i check that my fuel pump is working properly?

Not sure if it's of any help, but I recently swapped my turbo.

Put it all back together including intake, disconnected the CAS and cranked a few times (to build some oil pressure - it's debateable whether this is needed or not, but nonetheless I did it), then reconnected the CAS and started it up.

Wouldn't idle properly at all due to loose intercooler hose, so I fixed that up and started her up again.

Idled smoothly but shot up to 2.5k and slowwwly dropped over about 5 minutes to normal cold start idle.

Like I said, not sure if there's anything in what I did, that's related to what you did, but hey there's my info - hope it helps.

If it's stock ecu reset it, could help

Also if your running stock ecu and more boost then normal it will dump fuel in when it boosts. My car on stock ecu at around 9-10pso was getting an AFR of 10:1

Worth a try for the 5 mins it takes. If you don't know how just unplug your battery and hold the brakes down for a bit. Play with the switches and stuff. The idea is toget any residual electricity out of the system

Try adjusting your tps im pretty sure if you rotate the tps clockwise that will lower your idle and anti clockwise will increase idle speed so if your idle is high on startup rotate clockwise and see if that lowers it find a happy medium with it then you could probably fine tune with your aac valve Idle adjustment screw let me no how you go mate

i cant adjust the tps because my idle is fine at times

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
