Hey all,

Car is currently at the mechanics. Initially it would go into limp mode at about 2.5k revs and come out with throttle body/peddle sensor fault code. Took it to a mechanic, they replaced the pedal sensor and that fixed the limp mode issue, however, now it misfires when accelerating the car quickly. It runs perfect without issues at high speed or revs when accelerating at a slow/moderate pace. Misfire/rev jumping only occurs when essentially trying to accelerate quickly. I've taken the car to 3 mechanics and this is finally the first one to have made some progress. He's advised that at this point, it essentially becomes a process of elimination issue, recommending spark plugs to be replaced first ($270.60 supplied and fitted), then ignition coils ($929.50 S/F), Swirl Control Valves ($572 S/F) then if none of the above fix it, the actuator (price TBA).

Fault code showing P1130 Swirl Control Solenoid Valve, so wondering if this should be tackled first? 

Mechanic has been very helpful and knows his stuff, just wondering if anyone has encountered similar issues or could give some recommendations? Looking to fix and sell the car ASAP though not just hesitant on spending $2,000+ on replacing parts which may not guarantee it will fix the issue...
I've uploaded a video of what exactly the engine does and just attached a snippet of my mechanics report so far.

P1130, Swirl Control Valve Solenoid Valve--fixed

I took it to Pepboys and the lady said "P1140". Thus my thread on P1140 elsewhere. I got my reader back and it was P1130, Swirl Control Valve. Glad I didn't buy the Cam Position Sensors.

This valve sits right up on top of the engine but some reading told me that it is sensitive to a lot of inputs. I had just replaced the spark plugs and the idling improved greatly and I thought maybe it just needed to remap to the new idle conditions. I reset the code but it came back in about 150 miles later.

Next some reading told me to blow out the vacuum lines with air--they get clogged up. I thought that was very unlikely but free so I pulled the first one off and tried to blow through it with my mouth and was greatly surprised. No flow. Same with the 2nd long one. The short ones weren't so bad. I blew them out and put them back on and so far 300+ miles, no SES light, and gas mileage the first tankful seems to be 2-3 mpg improved.

I'll post further updates if anything changes but blowing out the vacuum lines is free and if it really gets you 2 mpg, everyone should do it whether they have the code or not.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
