Hi guys, after my car is warmed up, if i stop at traffic lights or jsut stop, and let the car idle it will sit at abtou 600-700 then a tad later will drop down to like 400 and nearly stall (at night the lights dim right down) then in order not to stall it reves up high to over 1k then settles back at 600 where it sits for about 5-10seconds and repeates the cycle again. Some one said it could be an AFM fault or somthing???? I'm jsut after you expericences/oppinions and simple tests i can do in order to fix this problem.

Michael,

I diagnosed a similar problem on my brother-in-laws R32 and it turned out to be the non-factory O2 sensor. I would suggest next time the idle starts to drop disconnect the O2 sensor and see if the idle rises again. This was a very frustrating problem that took no end of time to find thanks to its intermittent nature and every time I wanted it to play up it didn't - typical!

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Interesting... about the closed-loop idea. If the O2 sensor is really stuffed, then it is leaning it out too far?

I'd still check the MAF though, and give it a good clean with contact-cleaner (aerosol in a can)

Then, give a consult program a little look, and see what the MAF and O2 is doing when it almost stalls.

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
