My 33 idles like a WRX but is perfectly fine once the revs are up.

It isnt plugs/ coils etc. Ive done a search but with no help.

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: It has hapened before but it just disapeared. I recently changed plenums back to a standard one and now its doing it again but with no sign of leaving.

Thanks again

Forgot to mention Ive got a new Z32 AFM and a power fc :)

Its only hapened since the plenum change. With the old plenum it never used the aac/ air reg etc and idled good. Ive tried disconecting these with no change :)

vacume isnt leaking anywhere?

That is one thing Im thinking it could be. there sounds like air leaking just below the aac but from what I can see there isnt. I used new hoses aswell.

I unpluged a vaccum hose to see if the idle would change and it didnt. Does that mean anything??

Thanks :)

might do.... not 100% sure but, my car had same symptoms with a vucome line off, id just check em all again to make sure. you can always spray some wd40 on any areas that look sus and see if it changes the idol, if it does you have found your leak.

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
