hey Im having problems with my idle on my R32 RB25DET. It has kinda just progressively just started happening. when i bought the car it never had idle issue which was about 6 months ago but in the past couple of months in has kinda just started. In saying that most days when you come to a stop the car will just cut out but on other days the car will nearly cut out and then rev high and then idle normally. but on a good day.you can never tell if its a good day or not though.haha

I have check all my VAC and boost lines and i cant find any leaks anywhere. Is there any other lines that I should check or replace?

I also read up that if you giggle/unplug the throttle position sensor the car should cut out, but mine doesnt seem too.it keeps running. i have just kinda adjusted the throttle position sensor to keep the revs high today and its all right but ovcourse way too high for what it should be but is that something all right to do for the time being?

should i also spend the time and check all the Coil packs?could they be causing this problem?its problem worth just to check em right.

another question is I have 3 X RPM counter. One dash, one Apexi rpm/speed meter and another one that I got with the car but too ashamed to name so ill call it the unknown.anyway the unknown and the dash RPM are the same which shows like low revs compared to the Apexi one.which one should I take seriously?haha

the Apexi gives more real revs i think but im not sure.

I have attached 2 phots the first one is of my engine bay and the second one is of my BOV line setup.

Do i have to modify these lines to make my boost/vacuum gauge read Boost and not the vacuum?

thanks in advance for your time and help :):)

does it splutter as well? i'm still having similar problems i've ruled out the ecu coolant temp sensor, and i've done a half assed job on cleaning out the aac valve . do a ecu error check there's a thread in the DIY section

it kinda splutters and sometimes small backfires when you rev the car.

with the aac valve there are no wires or anything plugged into it so I havent bothered cleaning it yet.maybe I should try that.

I was going to try that.look like I might do it cas not much input from other people haha

cheers man

try CRC contact cleaner on the AFM and reset ecu, has made mine stall less although it does still stall at stops here and there this makes it seem like a combination of things.

ps. ment to be general maintenance but if your fuel filter is old say a yr old change it.

learn to heel-toe on traffic light/stop sign stops :whistling:

why's that, using r32 engine loom and you do have the plug but only for the r32 unit ?

haha funny that you say that. I have been doing that the last couple of weeks until the last couple of days.my gf is like u should have to drive like that but i was always like its fine no problems.haha yer im not really sure why I have no plugs for it.there is one small one that i Tired fitting but didnt work. I called the dude that tuned it and he said to bring it in but I really cant afford to bring it in for something like this.

yer catch to that is I dont have any AFM but the car has been running fine until the last couple of weeks.i just hanged my fuel filter 4 days ago and it didnt change anything.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
