I had an issue where when I was cruising for some distance my tune was running rich and fouling plugs. Around town was fine but any highway use it was playing up next day on cold start. I backed the map off only slightly on that fuel cell and it has fixed the problem. Just thought i would mention that sounds it could be the same

Definitely a possibility, if I was to pull the plugs after a failed idle when I start it how could I tell if they are fouled easily?

Actually the only times the car idled well was when we first put the injectors in, then it went to shit, and then I changed the plugs before the tune and it was shit after that, then came good for a week then went shit again.

Maybe they have just fouled up badly.

Is ur fuel pressure stable? Ie has the pump been rewired to battery voltage?

Is 02 feedback enabled?

If u have the software or consult keep a close eye on inj duty when idle is good and when idle is playing up. Let me know the readings

Fuel pump is new and rewired to battery voltage, O2 feedback is enabled as well, just need to borrow a laptop so I can run consult again.

Does anyone know what the "Fuel Dumper" is? as I did not get this part when I bought my fuel rail, is it a dampener of some sort? Perhaps this could be my issue.

Seems like a misfire when cold, cannot figure out why though, really need to get a wideband in the exhaust to see if it is going lean/rich or if it is super rich at idle fouling the plugs.

Bummer because I have neither a wideband, nor a nistune license.

Hey, that's awesome. The country I am in cannot be typed in spelled correctly, because it gets replaced with what you see in my post above. Just for the fun of it, the country I am in is bordered by Greece, Albania, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Armenia, with coasts on the Black, Adriatic and Agean Seas.

And in some respects it is the sphinter of the universe!! Although I don't mind it. Sphincters are not all bad.

Am trying to make the kiln burner here work properly. I designed it last year, installed in February, and it hasn't worked properly since. Has in fact made the whole plant worse. It's my fault and it's not my fault. Bloody plant has huge issues. Given the huge issues I should have called the whole thing off instead of proceding. But I let optimism strike me, went ahead with it, optimism bailed on the deal and left me with a handful of poo. The goat lovers are also not very able to handle the subtleties of a carefully written performance guarantee, and refuse to accept that given that the plant is poo, it is not entirely my fault that my burner made it smell worse.

Rolls my idle sounds very similar to yours.

I idle at around 1400-1500 when cold and it hunts randomly and sits there missing until warm.

Once warm idle drops to around 700 and them every now and then hunts but does not miss.

If you take it for a drive when cold

As you take your foot off and coast you can feel it missing.

All goes away when warm

Hmm this morning it was much much better, I didn't drive the car yesterday at all so it must have been completely stone cold, still did a slight miss for 3 seconds then come good for 3 seconds but it didn't want to stall, just went from 1300rpm to 1000-1100rpm.

Tonight it was back shit again wanting to stall from 1300 to 400rpm.

I have my laptop back so I will plug in consult and do a dump of injectors/afm etc vs rpm when its cold see if it is an ECU or mechanical problem, I personally think it is fouling the plugs up from possibly too rich an idle.

Ok did a log when cold, when at 1200rpm the duty cycle is 1-2 and pulse width is 2.2ms, when it stumbles duty is 1 and pulse width grows to 2.5ms all the way to 3ms when it starts missing badly, timing changes from 30 to 34 when stumbling, acc duty increases slightly.

Stab the throttle and it goes back to 1200 and duty at 2, pulse at 2.2ms, starts to stumble and go up to 2.8ms etc.

Would this be as simple as just changing the cold start enrichment at 20-30c so it is slightly less rich? I'm going to buy a license next month so will have a fiddle then.

So I am guessing the cold start is just simply too rich

Edited by Rolls

Its possible. Bust never assume its too rich without having a wideband to tell u afr.

The timing doesn't seem right. It should not be at 30 degree's at idle. That tells me ur tps may not be setup correctly. Try dropping the tps back a tad ie: if its at .5 try .46

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
