Hey, im having a few issues with my idle at the moment i did a search but nothing really came up just wondering if anyone has any ideas on what might be wrong

ever since the cruise last friday night (did give the car a bit of a hammering) it has been idling at about 1200-1400 rpm where it usually idles at 800 rpm does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

:D

Hey Matt, have you tried having the car idling and slowly tightening the screw on the IAC? The more you tighten it the more lower the rev's become on idle. Originally my car idled at around 1100rpm, tightened the screw and its about 750rpm now.

I'm not sure if it would be that because I dont think it would come loose from giving the car a hammering, but you may as well give it a shot if ya haven't already :P

if you have been giving it some - you may have just covered a sensor in a smidge to much grime. Now you have something to do on weekend :P

cheers mate i will look into this

young matt, i have a theory, the air temps at that alttitude might be playing around with your idle,

whats the solution you ask??? easy......... lower your 4WD :P

NOW!!!! im just thinking where you could buy yourself lowered suspension hmmmmmmmmmmmm :)

    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
