Typical Rb20det Idle Issues But With A Twist!

Hey guys and girls,

I've been having issues with my R32 RB20DET idling high at about 1100 - 1500.

Car runs fine just idles high. I have done some research and noticed this is a common problem and is usually fixed by cleaning the aac or replacing it.

I have changed the aac twice with both times cleaning them. No fix.

I have tried fiddling with the idle screw. No fix.

I have checked for air leaks. No finds.

I have changed the cold air regulator. No fix.

Note: When idling if I disconnect the aac plug the car just dies.

Any help would be appreciated.

ECU temp sensor stuffed? How does the car run, is it running rich?

TPS set correctly (0.44v at closed throttle)?

Which AAC plug are you talking about, the plug going into the valve should not make the engine stall. On a 25de to set idle speed, I have to disconnect the brown (valve) plug.

A small leak is all it takes...

Now you mention it, it's running really rich. Car runs good but rich. How does the ecu temp sensor affect that? And where is it?

Tps is set correc.

when I disconnect the brown plug on the aac it dies.

The TPS has 2 components - a SENSOR and a SWITCH. The switch tells the ECU that the throttle is closed, and it is for situations like when the throttle closes during (manual) gear changes.

If the switch is not set correctly, then it can cause the ECU to maintain a high idle speed because it thinks the throttle is open.

Resistance between pins 1 & 2 on the TPS should be 0 ohms at "throttle closed".

This might sound like common sense, but have you tried moving the tps? how you tilt it a bit and notice your rev's change? i had the same problem with mine for a while and i just kept tilting the tps and playing with that little screw valve on top of it and it eventually got it to sit on 900

Mostly correct but it wont show 0 ohms at closed throttle. Probably be 12 ohms or so. Sensors usually work between .5v and 4.5v and anything outside that is out of range. This is how computers work out something is wrong with the sensor. 0 ohms is considered to low resistance and will log something like sensor voltage high etc

Not trying to be critical of your post. Just adding something

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
