OK i have exact same problem, R32 GTST RB20DET nistune ecu gtr injectors z32 afm plugs gapped to .8mm hks turbine

Car goes into cold start mode, id love to make a vid on how the motor behaves when starting cold, and i will, WHEN IT STOPS RAINING!!!!!!!!!! grrrr

I start the car (dead cold morning) starts fine, revs well, 30 secs or so after start it clicks into this "Runs Like A Three-legged Billy Goat" mode! NOW i thought it was something to do with the O2 sensor, bought a new one, no change. Coughs misfires under load generally runs like poo, I unplug the O2 sensor, no coughs or misfiring but now surges under load, n same as everyone else this mode clicks off when temp guage hits the middle

Not everyone has this problem i see n id love to find out how to fix it or help fix it!!

Cheers

check resistance of your water temp sensor (both when cold and hot)

if unsure just change anywayz its not that expensive

also make sure you have the correct sparkplugs/heat range...this was the prob with mine believe it or not

I will try to get a multimeter to check coolant temp sensor but now you got me thinking its the plugs lol I recently put a new engine in the car but it was doing the same thing with the old engine, im running brand new DENSO K20R - U11 spark plugs atm gapped to .8mm but the plugs that were in the new engine were NGK-R PFR5A - 11

what would be the correct plugs for my application?

Cheers

Ok so i have an update, turns out its the O2 sensor thats stuffing up my cold start and idle. I unplugged it and everything is fine again, (btw the O2 is brand new)

So im guessing my ECU was tuned with the old stuffed O2 sensor and now the new one is leaning the fuel mixture out too much.

cant figure out why its affecting idle tho.

    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
