Hey :(

Well i have in general... a problem... :( as alot of ppl do but shouldnt... so if anyone can help me would be much appreciated...

Its an R32 Skyline GTST .... Ok... so i just had my car in to a place called APC in springwood... i got my timing belt done, all the other belts at the front done, new spark plugs, injector flush, throttle body cleaned, new fuel pump, dyno'd etc....

has been all good for about 2 weeks... until now...

i was driving along 2 nights ago and just all of a sudden the revs started dying, and then it picked up... then they started to die again... and way kept my fooot on the gas while it was doing it and the whole car just started to stop go stop go stop go... like shaking... so i pulled over... and the engine conked out... so im like WTF?

start her up and she was fine for about 2 or 3 minutes... then it did it again and again... and then i pulled up at a set of lights and the idle had a mind of its own... revving till about 2000 / 2500 RPM then going to idle, reving idle reving idle just reving by itself...

so like i pull over and turn the bitch off... and wait a minute,.. and turn it back on... and its fine... for another few minutes...

so u could say its hunting i spose... i think thats the term u use for when it revs on its own....

and it doesnt do it at all when its cold or just warmed up... more or less after its been for a drive for more then 10 or 15 mins...

kinda weird.... i was thinkin 02 sensor.... or TPS.... or idle speed motor... or a vacuum leak somewhere...

maybe someone can narrow it down for me :laugh: or tell me where these things are and what to do to check them out

Thanks heaps guys

-Josh

yeah the fuel filter isnt that old either... maybe like 10 mnths old or something? but fuel pump was just done... and it was on the dyno... and i only fill up using vortex 98 or shell v-power.... so i dont think i would have got a bad batch of fuel... ok has anyone got an engine manual or e book on the RB20DET... im not completely null minded of engines etc but i honestly dont know where the aac valve is.... or the 02 sensor... unless your talkin about the one under the car on the exhaust system? and i assume your talking about the ECU behind the dash?

yeah no problem dude... ill let you know of any progresses :ermm:

hey mate, have you tried resoldering the joints inside the afm or just cleaned the plug out with contact cleaner? i spent a thousand bucks chasing a missfire/idle prob and i eventually fixed it myself for nuthin. pulled the afm apart and resoldered the joints inside. runs perfect now.

yeahhh i had a mate of a mate come over and reset the error codes on the computer which was air flow meter

so i got a can of carby clean and tightened the pins in the connector and i sprayed the crap out of the little square element inside the air flow meter and runs great now :unsure:

cheap fix :P

anyone know antything about if its worth getting bigger air flow meter... say like the Q90 from a 300ZX i think it is... and i think theres a bigger one again?

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

      @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months

      There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.

      That's how it seems to me to. For the people that want huge power RBs (which it has been shown to do), this is great news, but that is not the same as trying to bring an rb 30 years forward....its not clear that there is a market of people who would pay 10s of thousands to do that
