Hey guys,

I've just recently got into getting myself an r32 from having a few sr20s

My rb20det, standard except a exhaust. Has a weird issue on cold start that I cannot work out.

In mornings, the car will crank over, idle and become to warm up. But when I start to drive the car from 0-2000rpm it feels like it's hitting a wall until passed 2k then will drive perfectly fine. Now the weird part is if I even drive 3 houses down. Turn the car off and back on. Even though its still cold. It won't hesitate at all and drove perfectly fine.

I've done fault code tests to only come up with 55, I've cleaned the afm. Changed plugs, cleaned out coilpacs, I haven't yet had a chance to fiddle with the AAC unit just yet.

I figured it might be an ecu issue and by turning on and off the car it was resetting the cold start. But I have since swapped out the ecu for a working one off a friend with no change.

Anyone had this issue or can anyone enlighten me on it being something to do with AAC valve?

Thanks!

Car runs rich until water temps hit 65degrees. This hesitation disappears when the water temp setpoint is met.

I have heard stories similar to yours in that you can turn off/on to over-ride the cold start fuel map but when I gave it a shot it made no difference for me...

Not sure if that helps.

I bought the car with water pump replaced. It takes forever to warm up. I may try driving it from cold and install my after market gauge and see if that is correct.

Cheers for the reply

sounds like thermostat is stuffed if car takes forever to warm up. Means the car would always be running rich. Check that out.

I just drove it today. As I hardly drove it. Hasn't been started in couple days, it's a nice warm 27 degree day. Stated and idled perfect, drove it, does the rubber band effect till I turn the car off an then back on. Then it drives fine?

I also let the car warm up while it was doing the hesitation and it didn't change. Only until I turned it off and then back on straight away.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
