can anyone help???

my rb 20 has a bit of an unstable idle and sputters every now an then.

it is pretty standard (only a 3" turbo back)

would an ECU reset fix this or do i need to get it tuned or (even worse) is there something seriously wrong with it????

thanks for your help.

sorry to hijack but HOW THE jolly heck do you adjust idles on a Rb20????

EDIT i read the post ive figured it out now ill try it on the weekend.

Theres an idle screw on the AAC Valve. If your standing at the front of your car looking over the engine it sits on the end of your plenium and the screw faces your left.

i had crap idle and fixed it:

AAC valve cleaning, throttle body cleaning

and also I had a inlet manifold gasket leak, so replaced that gasket and just perfect idle all the time now

Nice work. How did you spot the inlet manifold leak? Could you hear it? Did you use a vacuum gauge?

Cheers

plus the R32 acc valve is slightly different ==>

there is only one hose connected to the valve and only one electrical clip.

the valve also has 4 bolts.

another difference is that the spring and all that bizzo is insode the solinoide cover. mine was caked in crap.

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
