R34 Gtt - High Idle With Gears Engaged/manual Gb

[lowbro]

Hi All, hoping someone out there can help with this one.

I have just recently bought an R34 GT-T 4 dr, I have just spent the best part of 3 days fitting new parts and cleaning the engine bay as she was filthy.

I installed new rocker cover seals + 1/2 moons, new iridium plugs, new chrome rocker covers, cleaned all the turbo inlets/outlets/piping etc as they were filthy, put her back together and started up after installing a new battery. On first start I realised I had not put the TBS on correctly and she reved at 3000rpm, wasn't a nice sound after all that work I can tell you

I re-adjusted and now she starts up at 2000rpm, so did some more fine adjustments and once warm idle is at 1100rpm, the car idled at this setting when I purchased it, seems a lot higher than normal. (dumo pipe + highflow cat + 3 - 3 1/2 inch system)

But wait there is more, when I engage the gears through the GB whilst stationary the revs go straight back to 2000rpm, disengage the gearbox out of a gear (any gear) and the idle goes back to 1100rpm?? This only happens when in a gear, with the clutch engaged this does not happen?

I have checked all inlet/outlet vacuum hoses (not sure if incorrectly installed these would do that?), all hoses are new (silicone), it is as if there is some sort of earthing issue now, I have checked that the chasis body earth line is screwed/fixed to the manifod cover (i'm sure that is where it was?)

Also seems like water pump is not working or thermostat, as I installed a new 40mm aluminuim radiator and the bottom hose does not even get warm and the new radiator, well once at operating tempature you could could cook yer eggs on it!

I have read all posts about IDLE problems, which I definietly have, but this high reving when selecting a gear is just bizzare! Any help or tips would be awesome.

wait a minute how can you engage a gear without using the clutch, or did i misread it?

i reckon the tps is not adjusted properly and is not getting the closed idle signal.

Try putting the ECU into base idle mode and adjust the idle rpm again and its worth trying brake cleaner/aerostart around the inlet manifold gasket to search for a inlet manifold leak.

Cheers mate, finally worked it out, I could hear a slight hissing from around the intake plenum, plugged a hose really tight and now the ECU has learned all over again after a reset, perfect idle at 900rpm, perfect boost, made 28psi on a run down the gold coast this avo and she cut out, so I now know that all my hard work has paid off, she is now running like a dream, time for a new intercooler, and maybe a top mount bigger 450 turbo
