Morning Gents,

I've got two different idle issues but only one occurs at any given time.

1st: A very small hunt, like 50rpm hunt, it just bounces back and forth a little, only just registers on the tacho but you can hear it in the exhaust.

2nd: If it's not doing that at idle then when gearing down to a complete stop when I put the clutch in and engage first the idle will jump to say 1100rpm then after maybe 1-2 seconds, return to normal. It will do this any time I am coming to a stop and it happens when I engage the clutch.

Background, I've searched about these issues and have removed and cleaned the AAC and AFM. The AAC did have a fair bit of build-up on it and I did my best to clean it, it was literally swimming in carby cleaner :happy: For a period the idle hunt (which at the time was a bigger hunt) went away. The idle increase on clutching has not gone away. The AFM was cleaned with Electrical contact cleaner and the mesh was wiped over carefully, no change.

For reference, car only has a POD with a mr_crust airbox, cat back, low boost bypass on the solenoid and a boost guage as far as mods that could interfer with air flow characteristics, these problems were evident before these mods and have seemingly not been affected by them for the better or worse.

Thoughts? Otherwise I might take the AAC valve off again and totally dismantle it so I can really clean it properly but I'd like to hear other peoples thoughts on the matter.

Cheers

The sensor is no more than 1yr old as I replaced it when I got the car (it was shagged) and my rego is due next week :P The car does smell a bit rich on start and despite checking the seals I still see fuel vapour from the filler cap so I assume the smell is coming from there. The car returns around 12.5-13L per 100 around town so that's acceptable as I understand it.

It's been intermittent since I've had the car and I've tried the things above that I mentioned and haven't really gotten far besides when I cleaned the AAC valve which seemed to stop the hunt issue. The hunt comes and goes but the idle jump on engaging the clutch and putting it into gear when approaching an interesection is pretty consistent.

Only time I have really seen what you describe is when you put an Auto ECU into a manual car.

The Auto ecu looks at the neutral position sensor on the gearbox and goes ok, you just put it in gear, lets idle up for the load the auto puts on the engine when in gear.

But if you have a manual just because you change out of neutral doesn't mean there is any load on the engine because the clutch is still dipped.

The manual ecu doesn't have this extra idle up because it isn't needed.

If the ecu is the correct item for the vehicle then maybe the clutch is not releasing properly and putting slight drag on the engine when the gear is engaged, does the clutch release fully when dipped?

I've had the ECU out before and it 'seemed' normal but I couldn't honestly say if it was right or not, the problem is intermittent thoguh so if it was ECU I doubt it would be behaving this way. As for the clutch booster, how di I tell.

I had a similar prob with idle being abit wierd and getting stuck and going up to 1,100rpm by itself. Ended up being TPS cleaned the contacts and all good :D Not to sure if it would help but atleast its something else to look into.Another person I know had a pod filter changed it back to stock ecu reset and good. RB25's r mysterious sometimes good luck mate!!!!

Did you see these threads from last week.

Slightly different problem to yourself, but you might as well check the air regulator if you are still hunting for the problem.

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
