when you say trouble starting.. do you mean you need to turn the ignition more then once and give a bit of gas whilst it idles? if so this happens to mine and i thought it was normal ? =\

Need more info. Car type ? Doe it have a computer ? What plugs are you using ? Have you reset the standard computer if thats what your running ?

its a gts r32 with stock compture the plugs are just standed ngk ones chanded a while back

I had problems with this for a bit also rough idling. Was told by racepace that it was my air flow meters. They just needed a clean. Just used throttle body cleaner in a pressure pack. Gave them a quick spray and was all good. Apparently they get a build up of shit on them. Maybe try that.

Clean AFM, good start, definately. Could be water temp sensor but I would think that would only keep it in cold start longer. Check all your earths as fuel pump, coils are severely affected by bad earth. Couldn't be fuel filter blocked as it would affect overall performance. Hmmmmmm........

could be:

cold start valve

IAC valve

AAC valve (or a combination of all 3)

fouled plugs caused by the above

fouled plugs caused by them being too cold temperature plugs

weak coil packs or ignitor

dirty/faulty AFM

and if the ecu is aftermarket, i'd say the tune needs adjusting.

also try letting the fuel pump prime properly before turning the car over. there is a small possibility that the valve in the pump is dodgy and letting the fuel drain back.

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
