R32 GTS25 high idle help?

I made a little bit of a discovery, I figured out that if I let the engine get completely warmed up (like I have to go drive for a little while warm...not just idle until its warmed up), then the idle will drop a few hundred rpm and when I unplug the iacv at that point it has no effect. We are still sitting around 1000 rpm though. Previously I had only been letting it idle until the gauge showed it was warmed up. I also checked the coolant temp sensor voltage and observed it as it warmed up and that was all within spec.

Sounds like it may be a coolant temperature sensor issue then. Either a bad connection or a bad sensor. Verify that the temperature starts off at a sane value in Consult, then verify that it rises up to operating temperature in a reasonable timeframe while driving the car. If you see unpredictable jumps in temperature it could be a bad connection somewhere causing the problem.

Th curve of resistance vs temperature for the ECU coolant temp sensor is easily enough googled up. You can measure the sensor direct at its terminal to try to isolate the sensor from wiring problems too.

The slowdown from 1200 to 1000 just sounds like the AAC closing as it heats. I can't remember from previous description....is that in the loop or blocked off? The RB25 integrated unit only has one air inlet & outlet right? With 2 paths through it? Like on the Neos?

Some of the reason for my confusion here is that in your earlier post you said you "completely capped off the cold start valve"......but if there's only one air hose bring air to the combo IACV/AAC then you cap off both. Right?

That RB25DE / KA valve pictured is similar but different to the 25 turbo ones, and I've ever messed with NA engines, so I'm not sure if I'm missing something. Does it also have one of these or something similar somewhere?

I already tested the voltage of the temp sensor and watched it as the engine warmed up, it was all within spec. I’m waiting on my consult cable to get here to be able to look at what the ecu is seeing though.

I capped off the cold start valve, like the one you pictured, just to make sure it wasn’t stuck open letting extra air in, but it made no difference, it’s connected normally now.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
