What are the possible causes, a high idle speed motor hand was cold? I assume this may be leaking from somewhere, because once the motor to idle is normal and temporary, but I am trying to figure out where the leak is probably because I do not like to use sealants unless absolutely necessary. Any help is appreciated!

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?

did you follow this guide on cleaning the aac valve and setting the idle? it sounds like your aac valve idle adjustment screw isnt set right.

If you did follow these steps (unplugging tps let engine get to operating temp etc) disregard.

I did the aac valve clean ages ago and thought i followed every step but for shits and giggles went over my whole car and got to the ecu and found i had adjusted idle there way too high and the aac valve way too low. Strange that i did this but there you have it.

Re did the idle setting steps and my start up and idle is way better and after revving returns to idle quickly and smoothly.

Yeah.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
