okay i'll start off by saying whats up to everyone. I have a s13 with a rb20 in it, and if runs like shit. I blew the headgasket last fall and over the winter i did a little build up on it.
Head gasket
ported head
10.2 lift kelford cams with springs
hks low mount
60-1
hks wastegate
custom front facing intake manifold
q45 tb
fmic
Grand national coil conversion
aeromotive fuel regulator
Now for the problem
hard starting problem-no matter how long i crank it over it wont start until i give it some throttle
Idles really low or really high- Seems to get worse when you warm it up
sputtering or surging problem- I think the GN coil conversion fixed that, i havnt drove the car long enough since.
Feels like my timing is off
I have checked for boost and vac leaks, tps adjustment, took apart my iacv, messed with timing
If i adjust me tps to .40 or anywhere with the idle switch engaged it idles really low and hunts, also when ever my e-fans kick on it kills the engine. if i adjust to where the idle switch isnt engaged then it wont die when the fans kick on but it will idle a little high.
When i took the iac valve apart it was pretty clean put the spring seemed weak. It pushed the valve closed but i could move it a little further with a screw driver.
When i adjust my timing it jumps around, If i set it in the middle and then put a timing light on it is past all the marks on the crank pulley. I live in the u.s.a. so i cant take it to any shop to have it fixed. I know a lot about cars but this doesnt make any sense to me. I thought it could be because the alternator wasnt putting out amps to push to efans but i upgraded it to a nissan quest 110 amp alt and it still does the same thing.
thanks
