Lumpy rough missing startup

When my 07 350gt (stock and no recent work) starts, dead cold, the car stumbles for about 5 seconds before firing on all cylinders. Fine on a warm start and some days is ok.

It fires up on first crank but stumbles and misses. The revs are up at 1000 but it's not firing properly. I'm thinking iacv?

Had similar issues when I use to own my R33/BMW.. Some days ran rough and started hesitantly but cleared up once warm if I was lucky - Ended up being fuel pump on both cars

It runs fine. It's just the first 5 secs.

What was wrong with the fuel pump?

Does it seem to miss in a regular/repetitive pattern?  which would suggest an issue with an injector, spark plug or coil pack.

Or in a very random pattern?  which would suggest something common, like a fuel pump or other component.

No pattern that I can determine.

This was a cold start video just now but the ambient is about 30. I am yet to get a video of the issue.

A theory. If I start the car straight up and have the issue compared to if I turn on the ignition and let the pump prime the line and then start up and there is no issue I could understand fuel pump. But neither seems to make a difference.

In my last tank I put in some injector cleaner and hasn't seen the issue since. I'll keep trying to get a video of the occurrence.

Are fuel pump issues intermittent? Wouldn't it also cause issues driving not just at start up?

Seems unlikely symptoms for a fuel pump.  I would expect a bad fuel pump to show symptoms under load with a cold engine too.  but I  wouldn't  rule anything out at this stage.

Might be a bit of a stretch, but what is your battery like?  do you usually make short trips?  my wife's J31 maxima is usually only driven short distances, and if we don't take it for a decent drive on the weekend it will start to have some hesitation from a cold start after 2 weeks or so, usually only 1-2 seconds before running fine.

I would suggest changing your plugs if you havent done that in a while. Scotty Kilmer said some hesitation is caused by the fuel running rich which is what you get when the engine is cold. Bad spark plugs dont do well in igniting a rich fuel mixture.

Other than that please make sure your injectors are clean, and do the IAC learning properly. You will need 12.9V and all electricals turned off, including door lamps. Hooking up another idling car like jump starting may solve the 12.9V issue cause Its hard to get that value while the engine is not running.

Yeah plugs might be getting long in the tooth. Iridiums with about 75000ks on them. Fuel economy is still fine though. I'll have a look at them.

Is IAC learn the same as IAV on data scan 3? Because it never works when I try it. I didn't know you need to up the voltage. Where can I find the procedure?

if it is like the DE idle learn, there are prerequisites, like engine coolant at full working temp. And according to the FSM, there are a couple of throttle valve learn procedures that are supposed to be run first.

Ok so here is the video. Its defiantly an issue with temperature. It was about 24 in the garage this morning compared to the other video at over 30. Next time I'll turn on the ignition and wait a few seconds for the pump to prime and see if that makes a difference. I wonder if it is possible with this really hot weather that parking up in the extreme heat then the car cools and loses the remaining static line pressure?

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
