Hey guys

Been looking through the forums and haven't found anything similar to what iam having problems with, so here it is.

on start up and the car is idling it drops down a bit in revs and then picks back up

When traveling you put your foot down abit the turbo spools up and boost comes on up the car does not go anywhere, now when you you do this is sounds like the car is not getting enough air / fuel.

and almost sounds like a spark pulg is not firing correctly.

i have given the air filter a clean, check to see if afm is firmly plugged in

This problem dissapears once the engine has heated up abit..runs fine !

Can anyone help

When the engine is cold the ECU holds ignition timing constant at 15 degrees. It feels quite sluggish. When the water temp reaches a threshold then the ECU releases the lock on timing and it frees up.

So that might explain why it feels wrong when it's cold.

If you are talking about the revs not sitting stable at a cold or warm idle then maybe you need to take your idle air valve off and give it a clean out with carby cleaner. They get sticky and unable to smoothly control the idle revs. Usually you don't see this problem at a truly cold idle because there is a thermostatic valve that is open when the coolant is cold that allows even more air in to give an even faster cold idle speed. If you are having this problem at cold idle, check to see if the water heated valve has been disconnected (or even removed! - some people are idiots).

cheers

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
