Dropping Revs When Holding Constant Throttle

Hi Guys,

Got a little problem i can't seem to figure out why, I've tried to search around but i cant seem to find why this is happening.

When i hold the throttle down to a constant position (any position) e.g 2,000rpm, the car drops revs, as if it is about to turn off but then goes up again, not that dramatic but it drops from 2,000 to about 1,800rpm for a second or two and then goes back up, and keeps repeating, tried it at higher revs e.g. 5,000rpm, still the same thing.

happens alot when im driving too, because of holding the throttle in 1 position. even if its at 50km\80km\120km. However, if i push the throttle all the way down or 3/4 it does not jerk\drop revs.

Engine light is not on.
Doesn't seem to be fuel, because when i push the throttle all the way down it should happen during that period.


anyone have any idea of what it could be?


Regards,
Nick.

Replaced sparkplugs and coilpacks, and no, it's manual.

any other ideas? Saw something online about TPS could it be that by any chance?

TPS is definetly a likely possibility, could be something as simple as a dirty throttle body. Do you have any way of checking your car for error codes?

I'll have a look at the throttle body tomorrow, I might be able to have access to an automotive shed that has a snap on, but i dont think it has the right key(chip) that i need.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
