Idle And Revving Starts Splatting At Running Temp

Okay. I have a r33 4 door sedan.
My car has this problem, its very hard to explain so bare with me.

When the car is cold, it runs smooth and the car feels normal.
But when the car gets warm, it feels like it looses power.
When the car is cool, i can rev it and it will rev freely like it should.
But when it gets warm, ill put my foot on the accelerator slowly and coughs and farts a little bit and it will stop at about 2k rpm.. while my foot is still going down slowly the revs stay at 2k rpm, and then will SOMETIMES all of a sudden just rev through it OR if i get my foot to the ground, it will start revving between 1k and 2k rpm.. just back and forth.
So all this is usually when i get the temperature around 70 C. If it falls under 70 C, it will not do it.. so i know its heat related.
But when you get it warm, you can still get it past it, only if you put your foot straight to the ground and not slowly.

Now the ignitor gets quite hot..
When its warm, and im trying to rev it.. the lights are dimming and brightening like they are not getting enough power, like headlights, tail lights, dash lights, cluster, every light is dimming and brightening.
Ive checked the coilpacks, its surely not them.
It would not be the injectors, because they do not act different upon heat do they? and it floods when hot if i keep my foot down when its doing the revving between 1 and 2krpm.
It has a MAFless tune, so does not use a AFM.

Has anyone ever had this problem?
Its such a confusing thing to try and diagnose.

Its a wolf 3d one. The ecu has no errors.

It got worse and ran on 5 cylinders, and it sounded like a subaru, so we replaced the ignitor loom, ignitor, rechecked all the coilpacks and injectors AGAIN.

It fixed the subaru problem, but still when she gets warm it acts the way I described it in the post.

Only thing we have now is to replace the alternator, and check the coolant temperaure sensor..

Otherwise im out of ideas.

Have a look at all your earth connetions and clean them.

Resistance happens more so with heat, you mentioned things are dimming as it warms up.

Bit of sandpaper on all the eath leads should be a easy test/check.

In my case i ran a home made earth kit, basically some wires direct from the Negative to around the block, one of the ignitor models bolts, cleaned the big earth to the block...etc

Sometimes its something simple.....does not mean its not your ignitor though, or even your CAS, test with known working ones after the earth check.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
