I've spent the whole weekend trying to sort out the idleing problem with my gtst. I've gone thru the whole cleaning thing with the throttle body, ICV and even removed all the plugs, cleaned re-gapped and taped up and cleaned the coilpacks. I've reset the ECU that many times i've stopped counting! I've taken out the new 255lph fuel pump and put the original back in and cleaned out the fuel filter. AND YET IT STILL IDLES LIKE A C**T!!!!!:sorry: So as a matter of course i removed the ind kit cone and then the MAF from the air intake, and low an behold it idles along great, not lumpy at all, it sounds lovely, UNTIL i plug the connection back on to the MAF then the engine dies!!! Without the MAF connected the engine idles great but as suspected as soon as throttle is applied the whole thing becomes unbalanced and not very nice., Now i've tried cleaning the MAF sensors with switch cleaner but that hasn't made any difference at all. Is this a fault with the MAF or is it something else that is taking the signal from the MAF when it is plugged in? If it is the MAF, where can i get one and how much can i expect to pay? your advice and suggestions please ppl thanks Ricky

is this true, can the wrong fuel cause a "rattle" noise in the engine bay? i've got a similar problem on my r33 rb25det. the noise sounds like its coming from near the turbo area of the engine and it's really struggling to keep revs at idle but at high speed it feels fine. problem seemed to start after filling up with Shell V Power fuel 99 Octane and after it got tested on the dyno, so hopefully it'll not be anything serious and maybe just a loose heat shield etc but that doesn't say why it is stalling? any help guys PLEASE? ricky
