My car also has the same issue as OP, when starting on cold start in mornings(stock ecu) the car will start to about 1krpm and then die if I do not blip the throttle for a split second. Something seems sticky... Its like something isn't opening up when it should be.

I don't really understand the logic behind the water temp sensor causing the issue... If it was f**ked, a rev will not fix it. My temp gauge is working just fine so that gets ruled out I guess.

When I get it tuned, ill get the tuner to check it over and clean any shit thats cleanable.

Interestingly enough though, back when I was running a power FC it never did this. Always started perfectly. Going back to stock ecu(had stock, went pfc, now stock but going back to pfc soon), the problem came back.

Probably? it is definitely true.. there are two separate sensors, one for ECU and one for gauge.

Does it fix itself the instant you rev it? or are you giving it a few revs (and thus could be a time based thing)?

If the ECU temp sensor is fkd, after a short while the ECU will just assume the engine is up to temp and normal driving can ensue.

OP: is your R33 a Series 1.5 or Series 2? I have a red coolant temp sensor as well my part number on the sensor is....

A27-611

L00

This part number on the sensor does not seem to relate to any nissan part number in FAST but it does say JECS on the sensor and had the nissan symbol

i know this is years old, but does anyone else know for sure whats an option to replace the cts sensor in an r33 gtst?

will this one work?

its says nearly every other nissan except gtst :wacko:

also i am gonna ask the seller, just cant remember my login and password atm

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
