Guys,

got a problem where my idle seems to increasing then decreasing, from 500rpm-700rpm. I checked if my std BOV was leaking, and yes it...however its still plumbed back into the system as std. Would this have anything to do with it? i have checked for any other vacuum leaks or intake leaks and there r none. i have cleaned the aac valve. and its fine. what else would it be? another thing that makes me thinks its the BOV, is because when i accelerate then back off straight away down to idle speed, it drops below idle then comes back up.

does the 02 sensor have anything to do with it? i seem to be getting average 12.2 litres per 100km, thats M5 driving, so 110-120km/hr.

ur help is appreciated!

i checked for leaks. there are non...i guess...LOL...with the timing? what should it be set at? i took my boost controller out so im running 9psi. STOCK LOL!!! so much slower...so what should i setr the timing at?

cheers,

yeah i have the exact same problem i think it is the BOV because i have one that vents to atmosphereand it sometimes stalls. As for the timing not sure? i would check the BOV and if u have a standard one lying around anywhere id like to buy it?regardsJIm

yeah im adding myself to the mystry idle club as well. It was varying anywhere between 500-1100, had the O2 sensor replaced and it was well for the first month but then it started playing up again. Can't be another dead O2 sensor can it?

i cleaned that! ages ago...took i off the other day. still clean as. so not that...i only replaced the afm bout 3 months ago. so thats cool....so im breaking it down to std BOV leaking....or the 02 sensor....or timing...

i know the std bov is leaking..but its plumbed back in..does that make a diff?

got the same problem... or though i went around and tightened all my FMIC clamps ect. and it ran alot better. as far as your bov goes i have an atmo bov and it ran like crap but after tightening the tension it ran alot better again, as far as O2 sensor ect. i run an aftermarket ecu and my sensor isnt even plugged in..., do you have an aftermarket ecu that controls air ect.?

ey nah i got factory ecu. umm...i went round and tightened all the BOV fittings an a few vacuum hoses. but i have yet to double check cooler pipings...but i reckon the car has become a bit laggier!! so might be the fmic hoses...got to check anyways.

cheers

I have the same problem too but when i installed a remap in my ecu, my car decided to stall when i come to a stop, at most time it does.

I've also got the stock bov on too.

I've upped the idle, but still stalls and varys.

Need help

Cheers

Hey guys, I had the same problem. Something to try if you're having idle issues, get long nose pliers and block off the hose the that goes into first air control valve located underneath the intake manifold, It's the device with two hoses coming off it running up to the aac valve, after this is blocked off you can adjust the idle screw on the aac valve until the idle is stable.

i took my aac off and gave it a clean just like the link but it didnt help me... same problem. i rang a place and they told me to get a new aac... good luck if i can get one. but then again could be somethin else. i noticed tackin the brown plug off (rb25) it had a steady idle but dunno if it would do anything in the long run.

    • Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?
