hey guys as the title states i am having a few issues with my 33

i just changed the plugs and a new air flow meter and coilpacks, but it still wont idol when its in low and mid rev range, it drives fine for 10mins put when u put the foot down it runs well but when u slow down and stop it just wont idol.

the things i am doing are

cleaning the injectors

fixing leaking dump pipe

adding a catch can and removing all the vacume lines

the engine its self is in gr8 condition, i can smell a bit of fuel in the car does this mean injectors? also the car wont idol and start when i stop?

what do u guys think it is a leaking dump leaking bov, injectors or an electrical problem?????

thanx 4 your help

andy

had the same sort of problem about a week ago and we put in new coil packs, new plugs, changed the afm and the ignitor pack. didnt help so we hooked up some diagnostic equipement and went for a cruise.

worked out a fw things and changed the timing and revs a little and it fixed it. just seemed to be out of timming and in need of a tune up.

might be the same for you

yeh i though timming but my mech said it was un likley but i will tell him again lol....

as for the lines and standard bov there still on there, taking them off tomorrow and gettin a new piece of pipe made up, it has been set up how it is now for the last year and been fine

thanx people

andy

    • 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... HTH
    • 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?
