Help. My Gtst S2 Is Revving By Itself.

[GTSTGIRL]

Hey people,

I am new to this. So please bear with me. I just recently bought my baby and she has now got a mind of her own.

Its a GTST S2. When I start it, she goes ok but when I stop at lights and idiling, it revs up and down by itself. Can anyone give me an idea of what this could be. Hopefully, its nothing major.

Cheers

sounds like uv blown off a vacuum hose, happeds all the time. look under the bonnet for a hose off ur manifold, and put it back on... the old nissan factory hoses are shit. wen they get hot and get sum pressure behind em, they blow off

how to care for an rb motor...hmmm haha... DONT thrash it, always check oil and water(if either of these gets low for a long period, temps go up, motor goes bye bye) and if ur guna keep it factory, dnt do burnouts... the diffs and uni joint dnt last too long

covered a few million times, try

checkin for leaks in intercooler pipeworking

check airflow meter fitting and plug

try ecu reset

[funkymonkey]

get a preist and some holy water.

.... sorry couldn't resist... carry on.

[Sl!m]

does it have an aftermarket BOV?

Mine was doing that when I put a aftermarket BOV on.. but mine would completly stall at idle

You forgot to mention the 2 million times that it could be the AAV, or the TPS.

[KamikazeR33]

DAMN. Hope its not that.

hmm if an intercooler pipin came off, wouldnt the car stall and not be able to drive??

[GTSTGIRL]

It doesn't stall, nearly but not quite. Since its been happening the car feels like it has lost a bit of power.

Yeh RB engines and idling its a pain. Mine has a mind of its own. I was driving today everything was fine idling good and the im at the lights and my idle decides to go from normal to 1,000rpm. This happens at all the traffic lights all the way to my girlfreinds house. Then when i drive to the restaurant for a little while it drives fine then it starts to idle at the same place at every traffic light. OK park the car go have dinner at a restaurant come back drive it all is ok idling at normal speed?? what da?? it use to do it before but only for a little while then id rev it and it would go back down now it wont go down if i did it. I did the ecu reset all was good till today. tps is fine. before i go cleaning aav and air flow metre anything else u guys think it could be. its just strange as it comes and goes. i might do the ecu reset again think this will help???

Post this in the QLD section ... we have a couple of mechanics who regularly post that will probably be able to have a look at it for you

I am not sure what AAV stands for but I know the idler control valve can screw up and when it does the car in 1st gear with no throttle wants to kangaroo badly.

sounds like a hunting problem... jesus that could be a few things, most prob an air leak

but if you dont no, take it to a mechanic BEFORE you do some damage
