Hi there!

Recently my car just got a preoblem I cant figure out of.

I am currently running Apexi PFC D-Jetro (MAP sensors).

The issue is that when I drive normaly, on low RPM the car is hesitating and "jumpy", and when I release the throttle it will backfire all the time until I apply throttle again.

While this happens I can see on my hand commander that the ignition timing is going up and down at the same time as the backfires occurs.

Also the idle is rough, going up and down from about 900 rpm to about 1.3k rpm.

However, I can park the car and go for shopping or even fuel my car, and when I start it and drive, it behaves perfect with no backfires or no hesitation.

Also, about 70% of the time, if I rev the car and empty the gears to the revlimiter the issue will go away for a while, and then it comes back.

I have tried to wiggle cables, checking hoseclamps, replaced sparkplugs, replaced the CAS. But this issue is really something I cant figure out.

Anyone here with some tips on troubleshooting this issue?

Edit:

Here is two small videos that I made. taken only minutes after eachother, after some shopping.

Hi there all,

Thank you for taking time to reply on my thread.

I have tried allot of things now back and forth and it seems that I have managed to get the backfiring gone when releasing throttle.

There was a loose nut on one of the throttlebodies and it seems that it had screwed itself out abit, making it not sealing proper when throttle is shut.

I did really hope that this also was causing the bad idle, but the idle is still the same, rough sometimes, sometimes its not. Today i replaced the AAC valve, and cleaned it really good before install.

I also replaced the PCV valve, since it is so easy, I just had to try it.

Then I also replaced the TPS, since i noticed on my commander that the black dot for "idle" didnt tick when releasing the throttle, after TPS replacement there is now a black dot on "idle". But yet, the idle is still rough.

So I guess I have to try some more stuff tomorrow then, and I will update if things go better:)

Best regards,

Thomas

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine
