Lately i have been noticing that every so often, say when i am sitting in traffic, the idle will sit at about 1200rpm for maybe a minute, then drop back to normal again. I havnt experienced this before as far as i can remember.

Also, in case it might be relavent, the idle issue has been happenning since i have been using the air con on a regular basis, but only happens when the air con is off.

its an r33 gts-t..otherwise everything is perfect.

Anyone know why this is?

thats the small black plastic thing on the front end of the intake plenum right? with tubes going into and out of it?

That was squeeky clean, i had it out a few months back, so i dont think it would be dirty yet..

Does my description match that of the AAC valve ur talkin about?

does it do it about 2-5min after a cold start?

say you cold start it, then drive for 5mins not stopping, then you have to stop and let it idle.

If it is that then i would say it is normal as my 32 does that and its probably just to warm the engine up a bit quicker or something...

just a thought

thanks for the replies to far..

but

druzilla32 - i never drive the car without letting it idle for at least 5 minutes when cold... it usually happens when the car has been on for less than 30 minutes i would say..

and to sewid- it is not the clutch fan engaging, when it engages there is not much difference in the idle compared to the high idle i am talking about, the temp gauge never reaches half way, always sits slightly below half way once warm.

maby the plugs then. Heat range is wrong or something...

I had NGK iridiums in my car.. took them out preety quickly tho.. It would idle at about 1000 when cold then 1800rmp when it was warm.

Your problem doesnt seem quite as serious tho..

There was also other promblems with theses plugs tho. eg, wouldnt hit boost, wouldnt rev over 2100rpm.

maybe thats it, because just a few months back i changed the plugs from (fouled) platinums to ngk iridium. But the heat range is correct...i think they are 6 or 7..the same as before.

I have not gapped them though, so they are 1.1, cuz i didnt want to damage them.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
