hey

i have recently cleaned my throttle body on my 2001 M35 stagea, and now it wont idle correctly.

i did the relearning and it still hasnt changed.

now what its doing is when i start the car it revs up to 2000 then down to 1500 then back up to 2000 then rests at 1200 and slowly moves down to 800-900, it only does that when it is hot tho, when cold it just revs to 2000 then sits at 1200.

the other problem is when driving arond 60km and i release the accelerator the revs drop down to 600 and the car engine brakes hard then it jumps back up to 1200-1400, its also using more fuel then usual.

does anyone have any clue what is going wrong?

cheers

What was ur purpose for cleaning it? U've probably removed the sealing stuff that seals the butterfly to the throttle body. U can buy the stuff from somewhere, don't know where but. It will have to come back off to apply it

do the relearning procedure again, it didnt work the first time. you may need to perform the 2 other steps beforehand. then attempt the throttle re-learn procedure. perform that prodecure when the car is engine warm. ie: operating temperature

Did you actually notice it do the re-learn? Or just think it hasn't worked?

Its quite distinctive - it revs up, drops slowly past 650 to just above a stall then comes up again (you will feel it stutter). You Rev it up to check the reset, and it should idle 650 +- 50 at normal temprature.

I only ask because it is not easy to nail the reset proceedure, and lots of people have trouble with it. It does work though.

ok i did then learning when the car was warm and it didnt nearly stall when i did it however it did return to around 650 and returned there after reving, however once i turned the car off and restarted it, it went back to idle at 900-1000.

hmmm so sounds like a trip to nissan :S

Nobody in Adelaide has a Cipher cable?

If you do need to go to Nissan, just ask them if they could plug in their Consult and hit the throttle learn button. Should take all of 30 seconds from when they plug it in (plugging it in should take all of 20 seconds)... but they will prob try to charge you for an our's work

If your idle does not set between 650-750, the ECU will not learn the new setting.

Another influence on setting the idle correctly can be the PCV valve. This has a hose running from the drivers side bank to the drivers side of the plenum. If you remove the hose from the Plenum and block off the inlet to the plenum you can try to reset the Idle to see if this has any influence.

Good luck.

Cheers

exactly which hose is this?

and if it resets fine what does that mean?

It also won't set if there is an engine fault lamp displayed from my experience. It will learn but as soon as I stopped the engine it would go back to 900 revs.

(unless the throttle was damaged, I had to replace it in the end due to a random limp mode fault in the TPS.)

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
