Could very well be the issue. Tty another one to see if it does the same or not.

With the TPS it should be .45v no throttle and should slowly rise to 4.5 - 5v at Wide Open Throttle. Make sure u are checking the correct pin on the TPS.

You say in ur post( 4 up) that its only whenits dead cold then once it starts it takes 7hrs. Can u explain this a bit more please

It does it when its stone cold. Then it'll take around 7hrs or so to get cold enough after its hot to start doing it again. And i'm pretty sure its the IAC as the spring isn't even holding it closed normally. I tested it with 12v and nothing ... at all so i'm thinking when its cold the AAC struggles to flow enough to stop it running rich on cold start.

And there is only 2 wires on the tps, or am i supposed to earth one of them to test it?

Also were is this hose supposed to go, Its at the rear of the block beside the intake manifold.

Was bypassing which must have been enough to make an issue at cold start when it richens up. Through an oem worker on and straight away starts perfect. Better then when i first got it. Shitty gfb BOV's

Looks like it but it is blocked with a bung. And the orientation of the hose puts it to the back of the fuel rail/inlet manifold as you can see by the bit of a hole above and left a bit to the nut.Also heater works fine :)

Issue has reared its ugly head up. So i thought id replace the Cold air idle controller which didn't work when i supplied voltage to it. Fitted a known working one and still has the same issue. Any ideas?

Haha tell me about it. When the engine is stone cold when i start the engine the first 2-3 seconds it sputters and farts around 200-300 rpm. Occasionally it will stall out and need a re-start. If i jab the throttle after i've started it and while its sputtering it revs up then returns to a normal cold idle. Ive checked the tps and adjusted it to 0.45v idle and at max it only goes to 4v. Coolant sensor is 2k at cold and haven't had the chance to check it at operating temperature. Has a known working cold air valve and idle is set to 600rpm as per manual. Had it set to 900 but made no difference. Have cleaned the IAC and the AFM. Resoldered the AFM pins. Replaced the fuel filter and lines. Replaced all the vac hoses and boost hoses. Any ideas?

Cold start issue can be a few things.

Let me know if it blows much smoke meaning its too rich.

How low is the idle on cold start?

Does the problem go away with a bit of throttle? Maybe the aac valve is buggered.

Have u set the base ignition timing? Might be out

No smoke,

When it starts it farts around 300 but once i have jabbed the throttle it goes to 1400-1500 at cold stand still.

And i've replaced the cold start valve ( one under the tb). I would think if it was the aac it would have an issue every start and struggle to idle? It idles sweet at 600 as per the manual and doesn't falter when a/c is switched on/off.

Yeah if i start it with the throttle a bit open it starts sweet.

And i haven't touched anything with timing and once the engine is warm it idles perfect, runs perfect. Only thing timing wise i can think of is that the cold compensation on the computer has changed.

your starting issues are fairly similar to my 32 gts-t which every cold start struggles to get up to idle. A short tap of the pedal usually gets it to idle perfectly so I have never bothered to track the fault down.

Did your random power cut out issues go away? I had exactly the same thing and it was definitely the AFM plug getting dry joints plus having an aftermarket BOV. I presume given you are getting TPS voltage you are using consult? if not give that a test and make sure it isn't throwing up any fault codes.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
