Since last week my car has started idling high

It used to sit on 950 rpm

Now its up around 1400rpm

Doesnt appear to have any cold start correction either just stays, high hot or cold?

Runs fine but the high idle is starting to shit me.

Anyone know what could be wrong?

Any suggestions before I take to a mechanic?

Thanks

My GTSt used to do this,

I found 2 vacuum leaks, and it fixed the problem

Check on your boost gauge at idle, with no vacuum leaks it should read around -0.5bar

Hope this helps

P.S - my leaks where on the vacuum line going to the stock boost gauge and one on the fuel pressure regulator line

mine idles that high all the time, stalls if i give it a bit and back off if the idle is any lower, maybe it thinks the aircon is activated?? does turning the AC on or off effect it??

Nah Ive checked both AC switch and power steer switch (pulled them out no change)

Engine temp sensor raises idle when taken out so not that.

You could be right as I was out driving one night and after giving it a bit I noticed

the revs werent dropping down.Finding a leak is the problem.

Nothing is easy to get to in the engine bay.wanted to pull out the AAC valve to check but that means off with manifold,throttle ,linkages etc.

Im sure the designers of these things were the size of Leggo men with hands to match!

adjust the throttle position sensor. Remember to mark in exactly where it was b4 just in case so you know where it was b4. When i say mark it in, mark it in properly cuz like 1 mm will affect.

Thanks but I dont think that'll work as idle remains unchanged when TPS is disconected.

AAC valve screw is turned all the way in.

Took it apart and it was pretty clean,gave it a blast with cleaner anyway no difference!

Anyone know if the solenoid is suppose to rattle when shaken?

My R32 GTR is idling high too but thats after i took the whole intake collector off..a way to see if you have leaks is by spraying aero start. It will make the revs pick up when and if there is a leak around your mannifold etc..Mine hasen't shown any sign of that when i tried it but it can get as high as 1900rpm after driving...i took off my AAC valve and cleaned it out i will get a new gasket for it but i dont think thats the problem..Also since this happened i lost all boost..I thought a vacuum line could be the problem..seems more like the wastegates arent closing to build boost than a turbo failure...So i need help with this too..how can i test the stock boost control solinoid...?? Any ideas? i have a completley stock GTR. Thanks

I havent worked on these motors before but if they are anything like the RB30, then you should have an air regulator which controls your cold start. If the air reg jams open, it bypasses more air into the inlet thus ending up with a wildly high idle once the motor has warmed up.

Sounds very similiar to what an RB30 does with a jammed air reg. Mine tended to rise the warmer it got until it was idling at 1200rpm...

If there is infact an air reg, warm the motor to operating temperature, pop the hose off the top of the air reg and check to see if it has closed completely. If its still open, there is your problem most likely.

Otherwise as suggested a vac leak somewhere along the lines.

carefully pick out all the epoxy from the aac valve(you will see a epoxy patch about the size of a 5 cent coin)...underneath this you will see a screw and behind the screw is a spring...if you aac valve rattles then this has lost its tension....pull it apart clean it out and stretch the spring or turn the screw down further(i do both) then re epoxy the screw head....

  • 3 weeks later...

Can anyone confirm that there is infact meant to be a slight build up around the butterflies int he throttle bodies? I thought it was just carbon build up so i got rid of it to improve flow hehehe and now its idling high. The mechanic told me its mean't to be there...Anyone?

your mechanic is correct, cars are designed to run with certain amounts of carbon deposits around the place, the trick in the old cars used to be to poor water down the intakes to clear excess build up.

edit: shouldnt really dramatically effect your idle though unless it was making up for worn butterflys??

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
