OK, did this, idle and stalling roblems improved but not gone, will do more and repost :D

idling is much improved, stalling now as good as non existent, seems to have settled down?

EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS, thanks for a great and useful post :(

Hey guys, im new to the forum, have a r33 series 2 which every now and again has a idling hunting problem like mentioned when clutching in at lights or when turning the wheels standing still ( putting additional strain on the engine) or when turning on the aircon at idle.

was wondering, what will happen if i take off the AAC and clean it out as per instructions, and refit it and start my car without resetting the idle and fidling with the computer ?

will it work fine as before or is it nescessary to play with the idle on the computer ?

Regards SImon.

Read my post again. Don't worry about touching the computer. Just manipulate the physical idle screw to get the desired results.

yeah thanks mate, appreciate that i feel a little silly as i did read it again after i made that post and realised hte computer tweaking isnt entirely nescesarry.

I just want to show my appreciation too

My car has been idling at 1500rpm for the past 2 months and sometimes the idle would hunt as well especially when I had my clutch in when slowing down at lights, it was extremely irritating and made the car noisier because of the high idle.

My mechanic replaced a few hoses and checked the sensors but he gave up after I kept coming back

Lucky i found this thread, removed that thing and it was clogged with carbon. Sprayed its insides with WD40 and wiped out all that black gunk. THe spring moves alot more freely now and my idle's back to normal and so's my sanity lol

Thanks again insu

Nice tutorial! But what happens if there is no adjustment screw on my ECU? The idling RPM went up as soon as I reattached the brown plug. Do I turn the idle screw down again? My car is a R32 GTR with a R33 GTR ECU. Not sure why the change? Please advise if anyone? Thanks millions.

If i went to my mechanic and told him to clean the acc valve on my car would he know what im talking about and how to do it?

I tried doing it myself and could not get the third bolt out, too much stuff in the engine bay to turn my spanner...

    • As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.
    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
