Hello I have a problem and its really annoying my R32 GTST when cold struggles to get to and past 2000RPM for about 5 min. Like after the car has been sitting for about 5 hours it does this. It is alright in the morning cos I can start it and let it sit for 5 but in the arvo after I have finished school it really pisses me off cos I just wana get out of there. Does anyone kno how I can fix this problem. Any help much appreciated.

Cheers Adrian

dont do wat when it is cold take it past 2 thousand revs :S i mean maybe around 5000 when the turbo starts to make full bost but 2000 is nothin. yeh school i am still at school last year only like 10 school days left cant wait till i finish

OMG I am not a stupid f**k I know you shouldn't drive ya car hard when it is cold and the oil hasn't been spread through out the engine properly and what not that is not the point I am getting at. See can u imagine getting in ya car and driving off and having people up ya ass because your car can not go any faster well that is my problem when cold my car will not go past 2 grand for this reason I don't drive my car when it is cold at all anymore I have to wait at least 4 min around 3 if I am sitting in the car holding it at about 1.5-2 grand. This is not a problem in the morning because I just set the turbo timer to 5 min. But like I said after school I just wana get the hell out of there.

P.S has anyone else had this problem if so how did u fix it.

For god's sake, can people stop just posting crappy guesses all the time.

Change your coolant temperature sensor or have it tested. It alters timing and fuel for the initial warm up. If you have a consult you can trick the computer into thinking it is already warm and the problem goes away.

So you're saying the ecu is retarding the timing and fuel mix because of a faulty temp sensor? I'd have assumed that would govern auto choke and may make it stick on or off but shouldnt stop the car reving over 2k(might go disconnect mine and see what happens ey)..

what does the car do @ 2k? revs bounce around like a limiter? or does it die and flutter like a cold engine with no choke would? also what cold/choke idle speed is it running @?

Does the problem go away the same time the choke switches off?

Mmm the more I analyze it the more I tend to agree...check temp sensor ;)

Hey cheers for the advice i will check the temp sensor. The car at 2k just like dies and flutters like a cold engine would wif no choke. The Choke idle speed is about 1100 revs also when i start it cold it just dies unless i give it a bit of throttle.

Cheers, Adrian

These cars don't have a choke. It's an EFI engine.

The coolant temp sensor richens fuel mixtures and advances timing and also increases the AAC value to increase idle.

It will drive like it is totally doey and if you go past a certain throttle position it will just kick you in the arse and take off. Usually by about 2500. It doesn't always mean that it is a faulty sensor either. Do you have an aftermarket pump or regulator? Have you cleaned your AFM lately? It can cause some similar symptoms.

To test the coolant temp sensor you need an ohmmeter to test resistance between the two pins. not sure of the exact value but I will find out.

Dude, you might wanna check to see if your airflow sensor isnt f**king up, you dont necessarily ave to be blowing out thick smoke as an indication. Go to your local dyno tuner perhaps get em to clean out the system and dyno tune it.

bwahahaha I love a good contridiction

Dont be mistaken.. yes it is an efi car :) no it doesnt have a carb or old choke/manual butterfly setup :wub:

But f me if by the ecu monitoring the coolant temp sensor then adjusting the fuel mixtures, timing and also increasing the AAC value to increase idle doesnt in super dooper high tech terms = choke on an efi car

My question was more related to whether the car will infact rev over 2000rpm?

Is it stalling out or is it infact being governed by the ecu because of a faulty temp sensor to a rev limit of 2000rpm as suggested?

The idea the ecu is enforcing a rev limit of 2000rpm until the car reaches operating temp..this being caused from a faulty temp sensor while it still appears to be operating as designed ie: 1100 rpm when cold> 650rpm when warm seems vague to me, never new it had this capability..

Anyway goodluck

Oh out of interest can you set a rev limit as well as time duration on your turbo timer?

Since when was it a contradiction? IT HAS NO CHOKE

The word "choke" refers to its method of "choking" air to the system thus creating a richer mixture helping with the warm up.

EFI cars use a cold start setting which, effectively, achieves the same outcome but by DIFFERENT methods. It INCREASES timing - a choke does not do that. It INCREASES the feed of air into the system - a choke does the total opposite.

So can you call an apple an orange?

....I didn't think so :);):blink:

On a second note, have you actually offered a solution to the problem or are you just pissing in the wind like most others?

I have offered a testing solution with values - if it tests ok then we will move on to the next likely problem, until then - go and read a book!

Pedantic or contrary?? which do you prefer?

In answer to this no.......if the guy with the problem would actually answer whether the car is in fact stalling out or being electronically governed as suggested I would happly give a suggestion or 2..

until then i'll re-iterate...The idea the ecu is enforcing a rev limit of 2000rpm until the car reaches operating temp..this being caused from a faulty temp sensor while it still appears to be operating as designed ie: 1100 rpm when cold> 650rpm when warm seems vague to me, never new it had this capability..

If it were my car i'd start by looking @ the aac valve but hey im no 3|173 45I<1|\| so wadda I know eh?

Until then i'll continue to read a book. may I suggest for yourself maybe try taking a deep breath, count to 10 or maybe just stfu and eat a sandwich or something.. :lol: wah!!

The Coolant Temp Sensor effects more than just idle you twit. I thought I explained that earlier. When you understand BASIC principles, then you can come back and offer some assistance.

BTW don't tell me to stfu, I am here to help people with GENUINE answers, not just make stupid smilies to make fun of people and repeat what help I have already given, then go back and edit your posts to start arguments.

wah!!

Sadly I can't help your lack of comprehension..

Pls continue, feel free.. rage away..your paranoid sense of persecution is pretty amusing.

BTW don't tell me to stfu, I am here to help people with GENUINE answers, not just make stupid smilies to make fun of people and repeat what help I have already given, then go back and edit your posts to start arguments

seriously wtf?? I would have thought suggesting a more logical place to start diagnostics would be a welcome assistance. As I said before I don't think the ecu rev limits the car @ 2000rpm when you have a faulty temp sensor. Can't agree? Don't agree?..I don't care either way.

My post was in response to Taipan's prob, I don't think the temp sensor is the most logical place to start... you say it is..I say it isn't.

I understand you put a lot of thought into your diagnostics and are trying to help but seriously after reading one of your "helpful" posts yesterday I'm full of doubt about your capacity for anything other than inane comments like this one clicky

BTW I still think you should try taking a deep breath, count to 10 or maybe just stfu and eat a sandwich or something.. wah!!

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
