Hey guys

Just noticed siting at idle if I tap the accelerator slightly it drops revs then picks up.

Idles at about 800-900 but with the tap drops to near 500

Could this be related to my current issue with my throttle being jerky as I either come off throttle or coming onto throttle.

I been reading up and few people said TPS voltage and with the jerking throttle while driving can also be related to the diff needing to be shimmed.

Thoughts guys please?

It is most likely that the TPS is not adjusted properly. The way I used to adjust it (RB20, not 25, but should be same) before knowing about what the closed throttle TPS voltage was supposed to be was to set it so that the slightest movement of the throttle would cause the injectors to do their little double pulse (you can hear it happen). That was close enough to the correct setting that it was always fine. The actual at rest voltage is about 0.4v.

I will check the TPS voltage when I get a voltage checking gizmo

Tune was only recent and I spoke to DVS about it and he said could possibly be that.

But I only just noticed it doing it at idle so it was kind of hard for him to diagnose over messages

I'll post the results up in here

Yes it will be in the tune, wen it goes from idle map to fuel and ignition map. Ur nistune was a bit of a pain in the tps department.

Remember it was way out and i had to adjust the tps trigger voltage. I mustnt have got it perfect.

Try adjusting the tps slightly either way otherwise i will have to fix it up for u :)

Yes thats correct. The rb20 ecu has a tuneable tps trigger voltage. Rb25 doesnt as they use a different tps that works off a set voltage to trigger idle maps on and off.

Yes i got it to turn on and off but it mustn't be perfectly adjusted.

U will need a multimeter or consult cable to adjust it. Or u can try trial and error. But make sure u mark it before u adjust it incase u go backwards

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
