Have a bit of issue with my cold start.

It starts low revs turns off , next start fires up fine.

This only happen when its cold, i cleaned aac valve and check for air leaks.

If i disconnect aac all together , brown and purple plug makes no diff to start.

Any ideas , could aac valve be gone?

You'll see it ontop of in the intake side of the plenum towards the front. It has a yellow warning stick saying NEVER OPEN WHEN HOT. I don't think that will have any effect. My old car done EXACTLY the same thing, cold morning starts it would crank start then die after a couple of seconds unless I blip the throttle. The problem went away as soon as I fitted my power fc. I never found out what the problem was though.

Its not likely to be the AAC valve faulty as with a Power FC this issue is non existant.

mate, just check your fuel pressure regulator. disconnect tiny vac hose connect to the plenum and start the car. see any change. if it starts fine it's your fuel pressure regulator. what happen was your cold morning enrichment was very lean. then change your pressure regulator.

make sure to put it back tiny vac hose b4 you driving. let me know how u go.

Thanx , it is weird car warm and starts fine idle fine. I changed spark olugs, coils are new, fuel filter,checked afm,new collant sensor but i did not try bleeding coolant , will see how i go . I hope it fixes it

i'm having this problem nearly 1 year[r33 s2]. not solve yet. what i found was i'm loosing fuel pressure when car stops for a wile. after 10-15 hrs car stops pressure completely loose in injector rail. i checked with pressure gauge. i'm waiting for my new fpr.

if u can try to clean your injectors.[remove and take it to inj cleaning place.] if u are in sydney let me know i will do it 4 u free.

Tried fpr and same thing, also bleed coolant and also no help. Im stumped to what it is.

Anymore suggestions?

yes i am a mechanic. it cant be fuel pump. i already change the pump. but no luck.

this cold start issued caused lot of things.

chk ur earth points,batt voltage, spark plug heat range+gap , vac leaks etc.

if above all ok chk ur fuel pressure with pressure gauge. see what happen to ur pressure in cold mornings or after long stay start.

pm ur no will call u.

Could it be fuel pump? Are you mech or just know someone that does fuel injector cleaning. Yes im in sydney

Its your injectors, they are leaking when it gets cold. If you want to check this, prime the fuel pump 5 times before you crank the car (when its a cold start, if its warm the fuel will just vaporize). Your car will start up and run rougher than usual and stall faster.

You can also check this by pulling your injector rail out and pull the electrical plugs on them and prime the pump and you will see them drip fuel.

The fuel we have in australia has probably wrecked the injectors. You can get them cleaned but its about $200 and you run the risk of it doing nothing as they could be damaged. A set from JECS which are the genuine nissan ones cost less when you buy them from USA online than Nissan selling them to you. Its less then $600 too your door for the 'Genuine ones', or maybe its time to upgrade them.

Yes this has happened to my car, i just know that its injectors because if it were a sensor the problem would be intermitant where as our was just on start up and the fuel was vapourised on the first few cranks leaving the 2nd start up to not run a lumpy rich start.

*NOTE if you have seen car run a RICH map they run the same but constantly so that how i knew it was fuel related

My car had the same issue as him, why did the problem completely go away when I fitted a power FC?

Hmm not sure . Is aac valve allways adjusting idle? If i unplug it while car runs nothing changes

Turn your air conditioner on, that tells the AAC to let more air in to raise the idle and keep the car on. If nothing happens then, could be your AAC. But mind you, my car did do EXACTLY what you are saying here, it starts cold first time spluters and revs just die out. As soon as we fitted a power FC the problem is gone.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
