Hey all,

Hoping anyone can shed some light and wisdom on my current issue.

Background history is that i did clean

I've got an R33 RB25DE n/a AUTO (dont laugh, im on my P's) which is idling really badly.

It happens when the engine is warm.

The car idles between 200-1500RPM.

I also noticed that when I am at a set of traffic lights and the car is struggling I have to put it into neutral to prevent it from cutting out the RPM then bounces bewteen 200-1500RPM.

Whenever I brake to a halt the car will occasionally cut out while im driving.

Also, when I am driving at cruising speed (60-100km/h) and I release the throttle the RPM will drop really low (1000-1200RPM) causing the car to slow down as it is acting as an engine brake.

Finally, I noticed that when the idle is bouncing up and down the headlights a dimming !!!! so that really mixes things up..

anyway, I've uploaded a few videos to help better explain my description.

In neutral

In drive with brake applied

Rolling in drive without throttle applied

Thanks in advance lads!

Might be the airflow meter, if cleaning doesn't help try a known working one and see if it still happens.

Other thing I can think of is the oxygen sensor, it will be (or should be) cycling at low loads.. perhaps it's doing something wierd, try unplugging it.

Fixed.

Had a look at the AFM connections and the soldered joints that connect to the plug broke away (probably due to vibration and age of vehicle)

I carefully resoldered them back and now the car has run back to normal for the last 300km.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
