recently converted my patrol to efi and had nothing but issues

its stumbling when revving off idle and poping through the intake I have replaced

fuel pump walbro 255lph in tank

spark plugs and gapped to 1.1

dizzy cap

afm

tps

aac valve

fpr

coolant temp sensor

intake manifold gaskets

put a kit through the injectors and replaced all the seals

timing is set to 15c btdc +2

every now and then it comes good

if I block my return line it revs normal

sometimes it decides to run rich for no reason

any ideas guys

Clean up or replace all the sensor plugs as they corrode and get bad connectivity.

My R31 has been doing this on and off for a while and I've replaced alot of the same things you have but I'm going to be replacing the CAS plug and Coolant temp sensor plug soon.

Get on R31 Skyline Club and you will find this is a VERY common problem with RB30's

cheers guys just replaced most of the connectors recently ive wired 12v to the coil no difference have noticed its heaps worse if I have no ait filter on the end of my afm if I block the intake partially with my hand it comes good its doing my head in lol

Could well be AFM. I'm looking into purchasing a newy or a Refurb as all of the three I have are 20+ years old and unknown condish.

Best I've found so far is a New aftermarket for $175+ post.

PM me if you want one. :thumbsup:

Could be dodge Earths or Loom related. The intake Backfire is supposedly a Lean issue, so any shortage of fuel or incorrect airflow signal could be to blame.

Airleaks, Fuel line Blockage / filter, injectors, so many things.

Have you read the ECU leds for Fault codes?

only codes I'm getting is a/c speed sensor and the one saying everything is working good I've changed all intake gaskets and hoses changes iac and gaskets to try fix the issues no change new fuel pump and fpr i can hear the pump pressurise and there is pressure in the line if i take it off i have only used the stock efi loom earths on the manifold but surely that should be plenty there straight to the battery i have removed the fuel filter there was no change I'm going to buy a new dizzy with cas,o2 sensor,leads see how that goes afar that everything has been changed except the air valve thing on the manifold near the thermostat and the ecu

The "Air Valve Thing" is the Air Regulator. That should really only do anything on Coldstart, as in, when you start it and let it idle, if the idle drops down after 30secs or so, it's working.

    • Thanks! Supercheap has a sale on this weekend so might be a good opportunity to get a new one. I do have a decent multimeter so I'll give it a try either way.   Hah, you got me! I do not. All I know is that the battery holds charge and sits at an okay level before I start the car. Doing the full charge and rejuvenation cycle on a trickle-charger seems to not really make a difference to the cold start behaviour. I'll try and measure it during cranking and see what it does. It's likely terrible; it certainly feels terrible.  I'll be happy if it is really just the battery and I don't have to dick around with the alternator or starter motor.
    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
