Hi

My R32 when started cold stalls straight away if you dont rev it as soon as you start it.

What can cause this issue? thought it was a dodgy cheap ass battery but I swapped it with a good working one and same issue.

Please advice

Thanks

mine has been doing that lately, but thats cause it has been sitting in the cold, not being driven...

i think its just everything is cold... theres a slight chance it could be a lack of power, but i doubt it...

does it only do it when its cold? cause my 33 stalled last night, and its being worked on, so it hasn't been run for a little while... it wouldn't idle properly... not at first...

other then that, its never had a problem before...

The car starts but for like 3 secs cos its idling very very low then stalls

if I start it and blip or rev the throttle a little bit it idles like normal (cold start higher rev) and runs fine, starts straight away when warm

I've read that if its the air regulator it'll idle high as well when warm, so this cant be my issue then...

AAC valve is when you have crap idle but my car idles fine.

Can someone please share some ideas

Could be the AAC not going to 100% on startup for cold start idle and staying at the 30% ????

Or is it the other way round???? Damn financial year end messing my brain up :closedeyes: Meh either way.... definitely check the AAC valve... I had this problem... car idled fine just took a couple of goes to keep it running in the morning!

*edit* we also found that the ignition switch was worn - if it takes a while to crank over too, check the voltage on it. I originally thought my issue was fuel on cold start (aftermarket ecu) ended up being 2 problems - ignition switch dropping current resulting in excessive cranking before firing and then the AAC being dodgy and not opening all the way for cold start and causing the stalling issue after a second or two.

Under the throttle body (guessing RB20DET), is a "cold start air valve". Can't recall if it's supposed to be open or closed at (cold) start, but then a bi-metallic strip cause it to close or open.

Pull it off, peer down the barrel. Tell us what you observe.

cranks fine

Rekin very similar but mine goes to normal cold start idle like 1500rpm, your's a bit low...

Yes just blip the throttle and everythings fine.

But I still want to sort it out as it shouldnt be like that.

what does the cold start air valve looks like? is it like the air regulator?

It's the only thing under the throttle body. Hoses attached to both ends. You can't miss it (unless you're blind!).

Actually, starting to sound a bit like dirty injectors. Had them cleaned recently?

Hey guys, i have the same problem and even better i know how to fix it!

my engine temp sensor is kaput, it is giving a higher resistents level then it should have been which indicates to the ECU that the engine is hotter then its actually is. the result is the wrong mixture of actions and fuels during startup which results in the stall.

i havn't had a chance to get myself a new sensor since uni is kicking my ass but i'm confident this will fix the issue.

      @Lithium  looking for a turbo for my Rb30. Want to make sure I understand this correctly.   If I want to stay 40psi or under my best choice of these 3 is actually the smaller G40-1150 ?

      Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)

      I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The switch part, is the switch you use to turn the lights on and off in the car.   The test I had was to determine where in the line it is, but on a quick rethink, if it's only blowing when you turn the switch on, then it's the wire from the switch, to the headlight that's got the short. Now it's a case as GTS said, of physically finding the fault. The fault could be:  metal has broken through the loom. Known as a rub through. Places to check: anywhere the wiring has been messed with in the car, particularly firewall grommets if extra cables have been passed through. Check the inner guard linings, you might be rubbing through with a wheel, particularly if the vehicle has been lowered. Also check for anywhere there could be high heat, especially if heat shields are missing. Double check any wiring at the head unit too if someone has messed with the headlight wiring to pick up a feed to dim the headlight at night. You could also just have really old cabling that is literally falling apart, though, this is more likely in Euros than in an old Nissan in my experience.

      Yeah. I usually go by the torque specs. I forgot that Nissan recommends 1386b sealant on that thread, still can buy it on ebay actually.
