Actually, I just realised that you were talking about a Link. What I said could still be true, but because it is an aftermarket ECU with quite  few things that you could have wrong (either in the ECU or out in the hardware), it's pretty well impossible to do other than guess what is going on.

It is doing that because the ECU is retarding timing to try to pull the idle revs back down. This suggests that your idle control motor is not working.

I personally have posted many thousands of words on this subject. Go searching.

 

i mean how to set up the crank angle sensor, what deegrees it should be on crank pulley using strobe light.....? That was my question

You need to lock the timing in the Link ECU then sync it, then unlock it.

It could be pulling timing on idle as part of the idle strategy.

Also if the car is running fine, don't touch it. Your tuner may have tuned the car with timing out so the entire map has been offset by that.

Base timing offset will need to be checked. Link help file in the pc link software has the procedure in there.

I've set my link ecu up for 15 degrees base timing and have an idle ignition map as that could be something that has been setup. 

If it has just started idling high start looking for leaks after the throttle body. 

Pm me your tune can see how it's been setup

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
