Hey guys,

I have a problem with my skyline R34 rb25det neo MT :(

I adjust TPS sensor to 0.5V (like in manual), but in consalt, flag "Closed TPS" is OFF.

How to learn TPS?

I hear, there is a way of 5 times turn a key to IGN, and back to OFF position.

I'm not certain for R34, but on R32 there is a separate throttle closed switch, it doesn't use the TPS output. in any case the stock ECU wouldn't be adjustable.

Have you tested at what voltage/adjustment the throttle switch closes?

BTW what are you trying to fix?

I find a way to adjust the TPS!

First, you need to calibrate base idle to 600 rpm.

Next, you need to adjust the ignition timing to 15 degrees.

At last, rotate TPS to 0.5V, like an manual, and do following:

Key to IGN -> wait 5 sec -> Key to OFF -> wait 5 sec -> Key to IGN -> wait 5 sec -> Key to OFF -> wait 5 sec -> key to IGN -> check "TPS closed" flag in Consult. It will be ON!

You need to do 5 turn of key, or more with 5 seconds waiting.

Duncan, I want to calibrate all sensors to stock values (like in manual) :)

Before, my TPS closed at 0.42V.

i know this is a thread revival, but i (think) i have the same issue i.e. i cant get my ecu to understand the correct voltage to turn on the "throttle closed" flag, which is causing very high idle.  Can anyone else comment on how this learning procedure is supposed to work?  Turning the ignition on and off 5 times did nothing for me.  Consult is reporting that the throttle closed flag is only coming on at around 0.2v, which is too low to be in spec.

well i fixed it.  The 5 x on/off trick is what is necessary on a GTT to reset the ECU's threshold for "closed" throttle TPS voltage, HOWEVER, you must also meet the pre-requisite sensor conditions before starting.  For me, i had to wiggle my gear lever a little until the Neutral Indicator came on solid in NisDataScan, then the 5 x on/off worked.  My neutral switch must be on the way out.

I have also read (but cant confirm) you have to:

- be stationary (der!).

- have the coolant temp above a certain temp.

- have the battery voltage above a certain level.

Does not work for RB20DET and is not necessary.

The RB20DET does not use the TPS potentiometer to determine closed throttle position. There is a switch. You can manually adjust the TPS position so that the switch actuates at the slightest opening of the throttle. Do that and you are gold. If you lean over the engine and open the throttle, you will hear the injectors double pulse. That's the ECU's response to seeing the TPS come off the switch. You want to hear that at the tiniest movement. Tiny.

Major thread bump, for the RB26 (and likely the RB25 I'm guessing) the idle switch is a mysterious thing that somehow resets if you unplug the 5V supply (not the connector with the EV1 style metal clip) while the ECU is on. No need to do weird key tricks, no need to run the engine at all. Just turn the key on to get the ECU running, adjust the TPS to get the requisite 0.45V at idle, tighten it down, then unplug the TPS and plug it back in. It seems an awful lot like the ECU is using TPS voltage for idle detection but if you look at the R33 FSM it details how there's a physical switch in the TPS and that directly goes to the ECU for idle detection. I have no idea how that works.

Yeah, I'm not sure why, but the stock ECU does use both a throttle switch and the TPS. Aftermarket ECUs just use the TPS so the switch is no longer required.

It was pretty curious, I noticed that the ECU basically doesn't do closed loop idle control if it doesn't see the idle switch. So it can idle low or high depending on coolant temp. I suspect it's also to help transient fueling control as well, it can be pretty hard to tune throttle tip-in just off idle.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
