We adjusted the trigger voltage to 1.0v I believe, you can confirm by the "closed throttle" being at 1 and when I touch the throttle and it goes above 1v it goes to 0

When we adjusted the trigger voltage below this it would just rev and hunt weirdly, I am positive it is in the idle mode when the throttle is closed as it isn't doing this.

Ok thats fine as long as its in the idle mode.u must be running an rb20 ecu if u can adjust the tps trigger voltage via ecu.

There may be something else causing it to go out of idle mode to make it run 30degree's timing. But try adjusting the tps anyway. Theres 2 small screws u need to loosen slightly then rotate the tps. Have the key on and use the consult. Adjust the tps to .7 if its at .8 now.

Have a play around and monitor if the idle stays stable

Ok today the idle was great again, started first go, no pops then after about 10 seconds would get an ever so slightly mild pop, idled great the entire way to work.

log says ~1100rpm+-20rpm so stable, water temp was about 20c, tps 0.88, 30 degrees timing, 2.08-2.11ms injector, O2 still reading lean. After about a minute idle dropped to ~900 and timing dropped down 1 degree at a time to 26 degrees eventually to 15 degrees when warm.

The only difference between today and yesterday is it is much colder this morning and I left the car outside, the other thing is I drove straight home without really getting over 60 last night. It is possible the plugs are just fouling up on boost maybe?

Can try playing with the TPS but I think it is something else, it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to go from almost undriveable to perfect over night and then back again.

Its definately a weird issue as its intermittant. Best bet would be get a wideband on it. Check it at idle. My guess is its leaning out causing a lean pop.

Ive had similar issue's with a z32 rb25 NIStune. Idle afr would be stable then every minute or so would lean out and start popping. I left the 02 sensor off(which i normally do anyway) but turned on the 02 flags around idle which stabilised the afr's. I spoke to Matt about this and he was goong to check it out for me

I have had weird idle issues before with my idle going as lean as 17-18:1 when hot, but then dropping back down to 14:1 randomly.

The fact that the O2 sensor says it is lean at cold start idle vs rich when warm could be evidence of that, wish I knew someone with a wideband as it is a pain in the ass to drop it somewhere just to check the cold idle.

How reliable is the rich/lean condition of the O2 sensor, should it be lean at idle? You'd think when cold it would want a rich idle to be stable.

I don't think the O2 feedback works when cold, I've unplugged the O2 sensor and there is no change to idle until warm.

The O2 does seem to work though, if you give it a rev it flicks over to rich.

Got it fixed, was a coupled of problems, a) the AAC was seized and not responding, put a new one on and it made the idle more stable, but still was stumbling and doing weird shit. Eventually got it nice by just playing with the injector latency settings and then tweaking the mixtures down low, took them forever as it was very fiddly and just didn't want to idle nicely but now its pretty good, still pops occasionally but it is stable at ~750, doesn't hunt and comes back to idle nicely if you are on boost then immediately clutch in.

I am not confident the problem has been fixed though, I just think it has been masked, as occasionally when driving it will stop the occasional pop and get even smoother and never pop, still I don't really care anymore as long as I can do skids and chirp 2nd.

Possible AFM issue? Do you have the NisTune software? Most sensors/acc etc. can be monitored on the consult panel. You'd think a cold log would detect a sensor issue. Particularly if it comes good once warm.

do you think its the same issue im having a seized valve (maybe from sitting around for so long)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
