Changed cas and it is alot better but the miss is still there when it's cold and it still has idle problems it nealy stalls still would the tps be doing that ? I unplugged the afm while the car was going and it just stalled shoundn it keep running ? Ithought It would just have a fluctuating idle with it unplugged? Any body had this issue!

I'm starting to look at the worst case scenario here maybe I have blown a ring and might be down on compression in a cylinder I think that because when I first start it ( cold start ) the it's like it runs on 5 cyl :( and under light throttle the ( just easing the power on) the car is hesitant sluggish and surges real bad it's a pig to drive but as it gets to running temp it comes good except from flat spots which I think is timing Im gunna do a comp test tonight

600rpm is to low for your idle. You should change it to about 850rpm, or check your base idle anyway for starters.

Have you checked the timing since you installed the new CAS? It might be slightly out which is causing these issues.

Probably not AFM if theres such a noticable difference when you unplug it.. If you know someone with the same type AFM then you could try and borrow theres and see if it makes it any better just to rule it out

From the sounds of it, I'm Leaning towards it being a timing issue. Have a search on here to see how to check your timing

Ok I think my timing is all screwed I have flat spots all thru the revs till after 5g and then my car violently jerks back and forth backfires and is a right pig to drive 89 cal I have not got Access to light till tomorrow so will check then.....

God I hope it's timing I suspect maybe a collapsed ring when I cold start it starts up missing kinda Like when there is an injector not firing or a coilpack arcing out

Also when I first start it I need to pump the shit out of the gas and it never starts first go and when It does u have to leave it sit Idling with ABSOLUTLY no throttle

If I try to rev at all it just wants to die and miss to the point if stalling it :(

It was that bad today that when I tried pumping the gas on initial start it was drawing enough energy from the electrics that it was turning my greedy turbo timer of and on as I tried to pump the gas which is seriously not right this is REALLY MAKING ME WONDER WTF

Yeah standard ecu it had a tomie chipped ecu but took it out when my cas went because the aggressive timing map and dodgey cas made tha car detonate under load ....

I have suspected my timing to be out because the car is so hard to start in the morning or at first start I don't think I have dropped a ring now ;) I started the car this morn it was hesitant to stars still but it started and idled fine so I think the ecu has started to learn and correct some of the issues I am putting a light on it this Arvo I'll let you no ow I go thanks agajn

You can reset the ecu and i think it will slightly advance timing on first start then bring it down as it learns what the engine is doing. I suggest checking base timing then maybe reset your ecu as well. Might work a treat

Ive reset the ecu already when I put the new cas in ....

today when I drove it seemed to run a big better which will be the ecu learning as you said as for the flats spots no change as yet but I no it's timing because when my knock sensor lead fell off it felt the same then the timing was being retarded big time as for the light my mates light doesn't have the clip for the trigger wire so have to wait again

Cam Angle Sensor: used to determine where TDC of each cylinder so the engine can inject fuel and power the spark plugs

Can also be Crank angle sensor getting the measurement from the crankshaft is some engines

In RB series engines it is the silver thing on the timing cover (exhaust side)

I tried unplugging my AFM on my r33 series 2 and starting the car, the car doesnt start at all!!! but when i plug in my AFM and start the car it works. But its got idle problems too. so faulty AFM???

i've got the lumpy start up unless i rev it a bit or let it die and 2nd crank around is always as it should be as if it never had the problem, ive always thought it was the hot wire where the AFM is and the switch board ontop just needs re soldering but have never gotten around to it even though i have rebuilt the engine ........... maybe tonight :)

Also if the AFM is faulty it can cause what looks to be lumpy timing just because the engine has no idea of the air volume.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
