Hey guys,

Just after some help with my current problem.

When I drive my car and go over 5000rpm the revs hold up. When its in gear it will hold the revs say at 4000rpm and when I engage the clutch it will redline. It does this for a few seconds then goes back to normal.

When this happened last I put my foot behind the pedal and it was all the way up.

I've checked if the throttle cable is jamming and I can't fault it when the car isn't moving.

Cleaned the AAC

Cleaned the throttle body

What else can I check? I'm lost at what it could be.

Mods are:

Greddy plenum

Hypertune throttle body

3037s

Injectors

Power fc

Z32

It had all this work even before the problem started. And sometimes it won't happen

Thanks for your help

Possible TPS fault. If you can get a commander hooked up to the ECU, look for TPS voltage to drop to <0.5 V as you close the throttle.

Also you need to look for vacuum leaks and watch the ignition timing. If it is unusually high, that may cause a big rev too.

Thanks mate, ill check the tps

I don't think it would be a vacuum leak because it doesn't happen all the time

I changed the tps and the problem is still occurring.

I took the throttle body off and it still looks good. Sat there for a while opening and closing it and never jammed.

While I was out testing the problem again I would dab the throttle when it was keeping the revs up and it would stop.

I'm going to have a look at where the throttle cable joins the pedal and see how I go.

Wish me luck

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
