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

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
