Dropping Revs When Holding Constant Throttle

Hi Guys,

Got a little problem i can't seem to figure out why, I've tried to search around but i cant seem to find why this is happening.

When i hold the throttle down to a constant position (any position) e.g 2,000rpm, the car drops revs, as if it is about to turn off but then goes up again, not that dramatic but it drops from 2,000 to about 1,800rpm for a second or two and then goes back up, and keeps repeating, tried it at higher revs e.g. 5,000rpm, still the same thing.

happens alot when im driving too, because of holding the throttle in 1 position. even if its at 50km\80km\120km. However, if i push the throttle all the way down or 3/4 it does not jerk\drop revs.

Engine light is not on.
Doesn't seem to be fuel, because when i push the throttle all the way down it should happen during that period.


anyone have any idea of what it could be?


Regards,
Nick.

Replaced sparkplugs and coilpacks, and no, it's manual.

any other ideas? Saw something online about TPS could it be that by any chance?

TPS is definetly a likely possibility, could be something as simple as a dirty throttle body. Do you have any way of checking your car for error codes?

I'll have a look at the throttle body tomorrow, I might be able to have access to an automotive shed that has a snap on, but i dont think it has the right key(chip) that i need.

      Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

      Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?

      Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
