hey, my car is an r33 skyline gtst 95 series one.

my problem is this, when i start the engine cold its all good and wants to go but when i drive around for about 10 mins and engine is warm it wants to stall and idol goes low to like 250-300, some times when i have it in park it goes to 700 and then when it hits drive or reverse it drops?

i just replaced the tps in it. what do i do now?

thanks alex

This may be a long shot, but my mate's car kept doing this, and it was because the throttle cable was too short, so there was too much air in the engine.

Although, I always thought if you could stall an auto, you're very talented.

Were u driving it normally, just accelorating, or did you out ur foot down and it revved up before kicking down? My mate's car did the latter. We all thought it was meant to do that, but he disagreed. He was right, he has to get a new one cos it shat itself. Might be worth looking into.

hey mate na i was driving it normally, and i just had the engine put in.

i bought it from slide proformance on here.

yeah like when i drive and lets say i go to 80ks and i drive normal i have to wait an extra 2 secs for it to kick up a gear on each one

Get your ECU read, may show a totally unrelated prob for your stalling.

For example my R33 auto kept on returning to "limp home mode" = selecting 3rd gear and running only in this gear at any speed.

My ECU was read and it showed a speedo fault, aprox 3 inches of electrical wiring had fried behind the dashboard!!!

So, yeah, get your ECU read and it may solve your prob without too much more time and fustration!!!

As EMZ said, probably not related to any of the above. Sounds like the line pressure to the auto is no good. Run an automatic transmission diagnostic - ive put a tutorial in the relevent section, and work back from there.

    • So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....馃ぃ) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up  
    • Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
    • R33 with RB26 seems to go off of learned voltage for idle. Seemed like whatever the baseline voltage was once ECU first gains power will be the idle voltage. With ignition on unplug/replugging the TPS would relearn the idle TPS voltage.
    • Have you confirmed the 2 pin coolant temp sensor on the motor is working properly? I've had a very similar issue when I forgot to plug mine back in many years ago.
    • Ok interesting i guess ill wait till using a manual gauge before making assumptions.
