As the title states it's ideling @2000rmp then intermittently drops to 1400rpm for a split second then back to 2000rpm.( is like the computer is cutting ignition to try control it)

Things i have done

replaced all vaccume lines

All inlet gaskets

All spark plugs

Replaced coils

Changed injectors

Changed idel control

Done nissan consult no errors shown

Pluged exhaust and turbos and pressure tested it with 25 psi no leaks anywhere

Drive fine when above 2500rpm or on boost

Anyone had a simmilar problem, any ideas?

Will post a link later of a video of what it does

sound like injector cut is coming in....the ecu sees via throttle sensor that the throttle is closed and its seeing the rpm exceeding what it deems to be a normal idle speed so it pulls the power to the injectors.....you have a vac leak or BAC valve is letting too much air past

If you unplug the idle control valve electric plug does the idle return to normal, this is what my car is doing, 1500 rpm idle just started doing it one day, I unplugged the electrical plug and it idles as normal. I still need to look into this drama

Have you checked that the TPS is giving a "throttle closed" signal to the ECU. This will be indicated by the ohms between pins 1&2 (I think, could be 2&3) is 0, and "not 0" when throttle cracked open.

Is the brake booster leaking? Remove all the larger hoses from the equation and plug them, it sounds like a decent leak anyway, cant be too hard to find...

there are no leaks as stated in the op ( did a pressure test with the engine not running and put 25psi in it, NO LEAKS)

If one of the throttles were open more than the others could it make it do this?

I agree with what you're saying about the injector cut, there is no vac leaks anymore as they have been sorted and tested with 25psi, is bac valve the same as the idle control under the plenum? or is it something different?

idle don't change if u unplug it, that was one of the first things i tried!

thanks anyway

Incorrectly adjusted throttle plates can cause this. The reason the engine is revving and cutting back is called Overrun. The ECU sees closed throttle and over 1300-1400rpm so it thinks it's in decel. It cuts injection as it normally would on decel. Then the idle drops far enough that it comes past it's overrun threshhold and goes back to high idle, once again, repeating itself.

You can try backing off the single throttle stop adjuster on the main throttle link above the plenum. Make small adjustments as this should never really need to be touched. Another way to check it is to undo the 4 mounting bolts on the T bar and force the plates shut by hand. If the idle drops then you need to adjust the main throttle stop. If it's just one throttle plate that needs adjusting, they have an adjusting screw and 8mm locking nut beside the throttle plate on each pair. Be careful and only do this if you know what you are doing.

There may be no air leaks but air is certainly leaking. All it has to do is get past the throttle plates somehow

i was thinking that air is leaking past the throttle on cyl 1 & 2, will check the idle control one more time & then if its still no better i'll adjust the stop on the throttle plate itself. will let u know if i stff it up :)

OK, I READ THE OP JUST FINE MATE...

Do you know there is a one way valve in the booster line that wont let boost past, but will allow air to flow back to the engine? If the booster is split it would cause you issue, I thought it was weird it wasn't leaking with pressure but you obviously have a big vac leak.

What about the PCV?

Good luck with it anyway.

I have disconnected the boosters and blocked them off, same goes for the pcv.

Unfortunately made no difference

Thanks for the input everyone

PROBLEM FIXED!!!!

Big thanx to Dan from Elite Racing for supplying a set of R34 Throttles today,

fitted them up this arvo & it runs Beautifully just need to set the idle a lil lower as it is around 1100rpm but is alot better than 2000rpm, drives alot smoother, no miss or hunt

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
