Idling Problem with and R33 GTS-t

Disconnect the battery for a couple of hours....

I've heard that the computers..."reset" themselves .....

If you still have the problem, I'm guessing that it has been repaird now

Never heard of that before :P

But no need to wait for a couple of hours.....

just put your foot on brake and all residual energy is lost and computer is reset......

However will not fix problem!

Your on the right track,

AFM, altho a SAFC isnt going to help if your AFM is dud.

Smelling fumes in cab isnt good.....Thought about and exhaust failure? Cat blockage or maybe steel fibre has come away from a muffler, trying to eliminate things here....

Yeah like the other guys said....Anything to do with feul changing....Pump Injectors(done) Idle air valve, Idle stepper motor, Intake air leaks....hhhhmmmm the symptoms are pretty weird tho maybe there is just a gremlin in there n u have to get him out!!!

I have a bit of an idling problem as well with my 32. After driving around for like half an hour and then park it, when starting up again the car will idle really low (from 1000 (normal) down to when it sometimes stalls). But after say 5 minutes it's all good again. Any ideas people?

Thanks

Some of you might like this story

One day my R33 GtST decided that "Normal" idle was 1100 rpm, great for new drivers, being able to change gears and not "Bunny Hop" the Skyline, Anyway... 3 days the idle did this...I went for a drive down Paramatta rd..(one end to the other) test out them shocks,

Halliluiya(english me good yeah?) .... idle back to Normal (700 ish).....

Maybe that's all it takes......

Whats the bet it will do it again tho....

Well I recently fixed this problem with my car,

There are several things to test/check/clean

1. I had to replace the o2 senser (my old one rattled internally causing all sorts of miss readings)

2. clean/replace the Afm (mine had a bad connection internally which caused the car to stall randomly)

3. clean/adjust Acc valve (mine was sticking)

4. ensure the ecu is not in diag mode (turn the fine screw all the way to the left on the unit. (this caused fast idle on mine)

I have a vent to atmo bov which many people told me was the problem this I have found to be untrue.

It would seem the moulitude of problems made mine hard to diagnose nobody had quite the same symptoms as me.

I was getting about 150 klm to a tank (running very rich all the time)

Car would die for no reason no matter what speed.

generally rough running.

my car is not yet perfict as i feel the plugs are fouled from running so rich for so long, but for so many things to go wrong with it at once is just freeky pleased to say all is good now smooth idle ect just seems to break down at high loads prob due to the plugs.

Hope this helps someone

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
