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.

      Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
