Warm idle issue - Help

Hey all, Need a bit of help. 

Been having this issue for a while, It starts having idle issues when the car is warm, usually after about 15-20 minutes, I have got videos of what it sounds like when cold idle and when the issue starts to happen. As well as NDSI logs of as the car heats up and the when the issue happens. It was at protek automotive for about a month and they didnt find anything. 

 

I replaced the coil packs with new ones it kept happening, then i replaced the spark plugs with new BCPR6E-1, then also resoldered the AFM solder joints. 

Any insight would be more than welcome. 

 

What the exhaust sounds like cold. 

Issue as it starts to happen and get warm.

 

Issue as it gets worse.

 

What it sounds like from the drive side fender. 

 

 

I really hope someone can find what the issue is, I'm getting pretty sick of this not working.

Thank you all so very much.

Hi yes, sorry forgot to post the fix. The cas on mine went bad. The post that spins was really hard to spin. Got a replacement and fixed all the issues. Later took the broken one apart and lubed up the bearings and that fixed it. Put the ex-broken one back in the car and it's been running fine since. 

After it did what was in the video it would just stall and sometimes start again, some times not.

Cheers. Will have to look into that then. As I’ve pretty much done all the same swap outs you had done. Plugs, coils, air filter replaced a few cracked vacuum hoses all to no avail. Was just about ready to pull the maf apart to look at solder joints but might check the cas first

Cheers mate. 
 

recently bought a consult and plugged that in. Came up with 15 faults for maf sensor and one for knock sensors but says 0 starts in brackets??? so got me a second hand maf and I cleaned out the throttle body while I had the piping apart. That was filthy. All seems to be going well now. I’m going to hunt down the knock sensors to see if they are properly connected and the wiring is in good condition as from what I’ve read the sensors are pretty bullet proof. And I’m wondering if the 0starts means it isn’t picking them up but not sure.

I wouldn't think that the knock sensor would be causing a warm idle issue. Maf would. 

 

Mine comes up with 0 starts after resetting the ECU. If you turn the car all. Leave it for 5 minutes start it again does it come up with 1 start?

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So latest update. I replaced the ignitor with a jspec unit from enjuku. It felt a lot better at first although it is a little bit cooler of a day than it has been. Warming up didn't have as much misfire sputtering as before. Went on a 10m test drive. Felt good, a lot stronger though I was taking it easy on the boost. On the return trip started getting the cutting out at higher rpm again and was getting worse the longer I was driving. Took it easy the rest of the way home. Before turning the car off was getting the normal idle sputtering I was getting before.  So where I'm at now, entire ignition system has been replaced with upgraded components. Plugs still gapped at .8mm. Removed the fuel cap in case it was building too much reverse pressure I'm the tank, didn't help at all. Now I'm still on the same tank of gas the fuel treatment was in, I'm thinking if I can run that out and then refill with fresh 93 maybe  the treatment is too concentrated in some areas but doesn't explain that it only does it once the car is warm. I'm leaning towards fuel pump or injectors but if the injector was clogging I don't think it would make it shut off like it has but then fire right back up like nothing happened. So my current guess would be the pump. Without a fuel pressure guage no way to test or check it while it's running.  So that's kind of where I'm at. Need to start testing fuel components and ecu/wiring but I'm at a loss of what's the next logical step and procedure for testing it.

      You got your answer when everything was OK after disconnecting your return line from the FPR. Why in the world are you running a 460, 2200CC injectors, etc. on stock 8mm lines?  Keep the pump, ditch the lines. I used both 8mm lines as my feed and one of my Hicas 10mm lines as return.
