yeah its wierd that when the engine is running it doesnt go anywhere near the normal values

that would make the car run like ass as the ECU has mapping and fuel enrichment etc based on TPS (and AFM, but TPS is also used)

so whilst your floor it, the ECU doesn't detect you are flooring it and thinks the engine is only under some minor levels of load even though AFM is probably showing normal full voltage

I had to take it out for a 10 min drive just then and something occured to me -- the aftermarket cruise control is not turning on now (was working 2 days ago). Do they connect in with the TPS? I will have a look tomorrow.

What TPS will fit? It has 6 wires coming out of it, going into 2x 3-pin connectors. After some research, I need another auto one.. What about an auto rb30e?

Sigh, the saga continues. The TPS, when on WOT does momentarily register over 3v. However, the other figures are accurate >> 6k RPM was 1.2v..... 3k RPM was about 0.7v. Idle is 0.4v.

6k rpm at idle only requires slight throttle, so that is why it's only showing 1.2v. I think this is working properly. Also, if the 0.40v at idle is correct, it should idle properly if the TPS was the problem shouldn't it?

I am gonna look up what readings the CTS is supposed to give and test that.. because when I was testing just then, the car was up to temperature, but revved did not drop. Stayed at 1500rpm. argh.

EDIT: CTS is definitely working when hot.. measuring 300 OHMs, exactly what it is supposed to be. ;)

ARGH, Pages 47-52 on the R34 workshop manual here-- http://www.importworkshop.com/nissanskyline.html -- all of my sensors are registering perfectly. Time to grab a boost gauge I guess and see if vacuum is weird. Wouldn't a vacuum leak cause idle problems straight away though? Not just when warm?

Hey mate, I just went through a very similar problem to urs. Thought of everything and did everything and couldn't find out where the problem is coming from. Chucked in on the dyno, everything was fine, took it to a performance shop and got computer diagnosis and it returned as normal, anyway, found out it was the air filter box, worn. Changed that and only $300 later and my car runs like a dream. Perhaps ur experiencing the same problem. Check the condition of ur box and look for loose wires etc.. So anyway, Mine was doing it at 2600rpm.. Sounds v similar to ur prob though.. Hope it helps

Do you mean the Air Flow Meter in the airbox?

Cleaned that and checked the voltages. All perfect according to the workshop manual. :blink:

Put some Injector cleaner + 98 octane through it today and took it for a 20 min drive. It now stutters badly from 2-4k ish rpm, then all of a sudden comes good from 4 til it changes.

Hopefully borrowing a Consult cable from Chuckie (and maybe try another AFM/TPS), so hopefully that sorts it out.

Problem possibly solved. :D

Today I pulled off all of the intake hoses.. couldn't see any cracks or brittle sections. Replaced 2 small vacuum hoses that were starting to get old, but I doubt they were leaking, I untaped the coil pack harness and looked at the wiring.. looked all good.

I then put my OLD COIL PACKS in (which were causing the ECU to give a coil error, but worked fine).... car is idling perfect after 20 mins running. I will drive it around today with the oil packs in, then swap the almost brand new coil packs in and see if the problem comes back.

:) Won't be happy with the $500 coil packs already have problems after ~5000km.

Yeah.. Super Sparks.. Yellow Jackets weren't available for the NEO when I was looking. :rofl:

Super Sparks right? Havnt heard great things about them.

Yellow Jackets seem to be the go for the non-Japanese coil packs.

A few weeks ago my S2 Stag developed a very slight misfire at idle. Previous to this, it has always been super smooth (have to look at tacho to see it's running).

Sounds like I may have a similar issue with my R34 GTT, more details here.

I am getting code 34 though (knock sensor) so will need to look into that first. If that doesn't help I'll follow your list to see if anything there would resolve it.

Did you get this sorted completely since the January update?

mine lasted a bit longer... bought about 25mths ago, probably installed about 50ks ago. All of a sudden after a boot full on a cold morning at least one of them gave up.

thought they were ok!

put my stock ones back in, that'll do for the moment

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
