For some reason when i start my car up first thing in the morning it hesitates if i pump the accelerator a tiny bit untill its been on for about a minute or so.

Lets say i start it up, its idling nice at about 900rpm, i pump it a tiny bit and it drops and fluctuates at 500-400 rpm for a second or so and then jumps up to 1000-1300 etc.

Could this be the TPS, only thing i can think of as I swapped over to a Q45 throttle body (but used my old TPS that was on my old throttle body, came off a S1 RB25 so it was all good to swap over). Anyone know what the TPS should be reading at closed and at full throttle?

And before you say it yes i have removed the water valve spring (valve that holds the throttle open a tiny bit untill warm water flows through to close it)

Thanks!

Ill check that tomorrow and let you know :thumbsup:

Nothing else really done, only started happening when i installed the greddy plenum, idles fine so cant be the plenum installation only happens when the accelerator is depressed which is why i assumed it might be the Q45 TB or TPS.

It just seems a bit odd that it only does it when its dead cold, meh.

    • Wanted to clean the film behind the triple gauge so the lights show through better.  Progress so far….
    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
