My car has a million problems need help solving one my old r33 did the same I just sold the thing without fixing it this one does it all the time

Problem

When the cars hot after a while I don't mean running temp more like drive for half an hour. My car seems to all of a sudden loose power after a quarter throttle

Things I noticed are the exhaust note hangs sounds like the car is struggling (which it is) it sounds like it's slowly revving out but takes forever

Natural instinct makes me back off but if I keep the throttle down it really goes nowhere!

Since I have been swamped with other things it's been put off for a while until I get the cars other issues fixed

It's really annoying and I can't overtake anyone with the power of a charade

While I'm writing a thread does anyone know why it idles high? 1100 rpm.

Thanks in advance

Yeah I'll just replace is. Is this in reference to my idle issue or nugget when hot issue

(Please note that my thermostat is new and the car gets up to "running temperature" quickly it's drives longer then say 30 minutes sometimes longer before it does it.

(It is accumulative so if I do a lot of short trips it still does it)

Both - Idle and Nugget

Edit: Basically the ECTS (Water coolant Sensor) is sending poor info to the ECU which is getting info from other sensors as well.

By the way it should cost around $40-50 and you can change it yourself

20+ years old car now man, things start to get old/worn/brittle. Start slowly gathering parts and replace them (e.g. coilpacks + harness + from performance-wise, throw new BCPR6ES-11 spark plugs in as well).

Having a standard engine is a bonus, less shit to worry about when diagnosing.

I miss my black GTS-t :(

The larger the gap the better/bigger the spark therefore better the burn :)

With a stock car running average boost your best off with 1.1mm on your spark plugs.

When you modify and wind up the wick wait until you get issues prior to reducing the gap down.

There wont be any issues running a smaller gap with new splitfires BUT it's not optimum. See first line ^^

Cheers sinista sounds like a plan I'll give them a shot

And cheers got that jiffo

I'm not the smartest with a multimeter so how exactly do I set it up to measure the ohms and I'm obviously unplugging the sensor correct?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
