Hey guys,

car's been running fine (although idle aways sat up at 1000 :happy:) anyway today driving to work I got a few kilometers down the road and pulled up to some lights and the idle dropped down to 1500 or so instead of the usual 1000. For the rest of the trip it stayed at 1500 idle. When I drove back home this afternoon it started up and idled fine however again after the car warmed up the idle went back to 1500. Any ideas?

So you start the car of a morning, and it idles at 1000RPM when cold.

THEN

Once warm it USED to idle around 750RPM? but now it's idling at around 1500RPM?

By the sounds of things, as the metals are warming up, they're expanding, which can usually BLOCK air leaks, but it might be causing one for you.

Check for vac leaks.

Couple of things.

1)TPS not set correectly, i assume GTRs have them aswell

2)Water temp sensor bugared

3)Cold Start Valve not closing

4)First Idle Controll Device, FICD, solenoid, not working (as is the case in my car)

5)A vacuume leak somewhere.

Yeah I thought it was the throttles however by reving the car around a bitter and playing with the throttle nothing seems to be wrong, futher the idle is very reliable at 1500. It hasn't been a progressive change.. it just happened yesterday while driving.
