Hey all m35 Nismo ECU owners having an issue with the nismo ecu after install seems to idle really low and stall at the lights or sitting in traffic and has thrown a CEL.

Has anyone else had an issue with there nismo ecu idling low,stalling and throwing a code or any ideas on what the issue could be?

Cheers fellas

Have you done an idle air reset? Every car is different, if you've just thrown in a used ECU I'd suggest that it doesn't know that your car isn't set up for what its used to. I'd give that a whirl, procedure detailed here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/275099-m35-still-stalling-not-idling-properly/#entry4662009

Ok so I did idle learn reset and all other diagnostics I could but to no avail car is still stalling.

I took out throttle body, BOV, MAF and cleaned it all, still stalls when at a stand still or coasting under 1000k. Then I took the vacuumed line off the FPR and I didn't stall as quick but inevitably still stalls after about 30-40 seconds at a stand still. So I'm stumped as to what the issue could be. Maybe MAF maybe FPR?

I thought it weird that it idles better with the vac line off the FPR though.

Any more thought gents?

Yeah it was sweet before Scotty just put in the nismo ecu and it has started stalling. I'll change back to the OEM ecu tomorrow and see how it goes but not sure why the nismo would cause it.

It's from a highly regarded m35 owner on this forum. I'm sure he wouldn't be selling shit parts as it runs well just not that great when at a standstill. It's given more low to midrange torque speed limit cut and revs higher all is sweet except the idle.

Lol sorry mate didn't mean to sound like a dick!

I know brick was selling it and he's a top bloke. Did he have issues running it in his car? Think he said it was a bit rich...

When we do tunes on cars at work, whether it be a re-flash or a piggyback module, if they do what your car is doing, we always send the tuning file back and keep trying till we get a good one, or we send the module back under warranty. The point I was trying to make was, if you changed absolutely nothing else on your car except the nismo ecu and it started stalling, it's very likely an ecu problem.

Get an emanage on it, at least that way you can adjust the fuel.

No point adjusting the idle screw on an electronically controlled car. You need a consult 3 to set the idle properly, but if the AFR's are out it won't help.

Hey scotty, does that mean a nissan dealer would be able to adjust the idle?

ECU may have run well on the sellers car but is yours exactly the same configuration... exhaust, intake, turbo etc?

Most probably. As long as the map is suited. If it's overfuelling then a throttle re-learn won't help much.

All good dave I didn't take it as an attack. Lol

Brick was running a touch rich but was still running rich with the OEM ECU still in after. It runs ok with the vac line off the FPR which I thought was wired and not sure why that is but any ideas on that would be helpful.

Scotty I plan to go down the route of an emanage just saving up for it need to pay a few parking fines first lol.

I plan to take it to Nissan on Friday and see if they can adjust the idle through the consult. Otherwise I guess I just have to learn to have a aware right foot and manually keep the revs up where they need to be till an emanage can be sourced fitted and tuned!

But brick all idle issues aside cheers for the ecu and enjoying the better low to mid range torque and repsonse it gives!!! Thumbs up mate!!

So it's running lean at idle then... Taking the vac line off at idle would richen it up I think. Perhaps it was just setup with an adjustable fuel reg initially...

I would be getting it on a dyno before anything else... Perhaps with an adjustable reg in place so you have some control over mixtures. Otherwise, go back to the stock ecu until you have the Emanage installed.

It's unusual, I would have thought the o2 sensor would have sorted it out, it must be a fair way out...

So I couldn't get the car to Nissan today as worked dragged on. In the mean time I'll get my hand on a nismo FPR and gauge to adjust the pressure. What should the stock pressure be for the fuel? Is it around 30-40PSI? From memory.

I spoke to a few dyno places a while back and said they can't dyno tune my car as they don't have a suitable harness for it? Would that be the case as I thought there OBDII and most can connect to that.

Seems to have some hesitation when accelerating hard now aswel feels like air cut!? Weird!!

Cheers for the advice guys.

If no luck with Nissan and a dyno tune I'll just have to go back to OEM and wait for the emanage to get it all sorted.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
