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.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
