so, it could be anything?

sigh

guess ill take it to a mechanic

Idle and missfire problems are always the most fidly to diagnose as there are so many things that could be causing the problem.

I'd be going to a mechanic as well bro.

the only reason i havnt gone to a mechanic yet is because it wont be something simple that they can diagnose quickly, i will be up for a hefty check because they will have to spend a fair amount of time checking everything

my rb 25 s13 starts the same way sometimes up to 2.5 k rpm........ its always done that since i can remember.. it has nothing to do with fuel pump ..got new walbro 255.....

could it be bad timing?

cold start valve? what is that and where is it loated....?

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

You didnt specify at what times you were gettng the heavy fuel smells, so I assumed while boosting. Does it smell like there is a fuel leak somewhere? Is your fuel economy really bad?

I highly doubt it is a TPS issue. Try resetting the ECU (If it is a stock ECU) purely because this is a simple test to do.

But if you want to see if its a TPS issue, I think unplugging the TPS will put it into base idle mode anyway, so it will idle without the aid of the ECU (as far as I remember). This mode is usually used to adjust your idle to get it to sit right, so if you unplug the TPS and your idle stays high then it might be an issue with how your idle is adjusted (eg. it is adjusted to high and your computer slowly brings it back down to an acceptable level

Give that a go

I'm not as familiar with R32's as I am with R33's but I think this was discuss a while ago (when talking about adjusting idle) and on the 33's you have to unplug the TPS to get it into base idle mode, but I think the R32's you had to unplug the AAC valve instead to get it into this base idle mode?

I've seen R33's with there TPS not even plugged into anything that still run fine (This is going back a while) so I guess they are much more dependant on the Air flow then throttle position to run

ill check it out and clean it , see if it makes a diffrence....and sometimes my car iddles freakin wierd ...honestly im pretty sure its throwing codes but my ecu light has been riped out ..or something ....when i bought the swapt to put in my s13 the ecu never had a light on it......so i dont know how to check for codes....but it runs good besides sometimes for a split sec when going steddy spedd it cutts off causing a tugging sensation....and when i fully gun it theres a flat spot 5 threw 6 k rpm....i have to let of the throttle half ways and it feels like it acutally goes better that way then fully gunning it.??? but thats another issue now back to the iddle problem....

any pics of how the cold start valve looks like?

o and sometimes my car smells like fuel ...not all the times just at certain times it tends to....lol and i get about 320 miles to the s13 tank..is that bad? sorry for going off topic......

Ok so that depends on if it's raw fuel leaking somewhere or if the mixture is becomming rich

Fuel leak is pretty straight forward. I know vs commodore urea get a blocked breather and certain times fume the cabin with fuel lol

Running rich will either be ECU or tune issue. Or air leaving the system after it has been through the afm. So this would occur only on boost if there was a leak or with an atom bov. At Least that's all I can think of ATM

Any more info you can give?

Did you replace the o ring when you did the pump as soon as you remove the inspection panel that o ring swells and does not seal properly and I got a cas from the wreckers for 80 bucks there like 500 or some ridicouls price like that brand new it's only a 10 min job to replace hard part is making sure your timing is correct afterwards you need to put a light on if or hook up a consult

i think the o ring was a bit loose, so i tightened that up

when i started the car up without the plug at the bottom of the tps plugged in, it idled at 1500 or so, when i plugged in it went to normal, and then i unplugged while the car was running and the car stalled

does this all sound like normal behavior?

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
