R33 SII 96 Turbo Manual.

THe problem is that when the car is idling, it will start to rev down to 500-700rpm and recover, and then start over again and so on. It stops after a few secs but starts over again.

What could be the cause?

have u tried factory ecu reset?

no bov will make it surge on gearchange and reduce the life of the turbocharger

not quite sure what factory ecu reset, but have disconnected the battery and pressed on brake pedal for 2 mins, people say that helps but didnt do much for me... it also comes and goes, sometimes it's ok, sometimes just stalls when slowing down to the traffic lights or when parking...

hey guys, just thought let you know, i went down to get my car checked out by some professionals this morning... the guy connected the computer to my car and a few minutes later he told me that my car was running rich and my O2 sensor was stuffed. getting it done on wednesday morning - $250 :P the guy told me that the probability that this is the problem is very high, so i am hoping this will fix it... will keep you updated...

Thanks for the info guys. I've been searching around and seems to be the AFM. One other thing i should say is if i open the oil cap while the car is idling, the idle drops quite a bit and the car sounds like its going to stall? Vacuum problem maybe?

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
