R34 - new acceleration/ idle problem

Ok. So I've made another post about my car not idling properly, being generally rough and having hesitation when accelerating. Now, if you've seen my other post, you'll know that I've changed my spark plugs, put some spitfire coils in, cleaned the AFM and everything was running fine still. The car still ran and was drivable. Now, only since I took off the TPS and tried cleaning it, the car is no longer drivable. No freaking clue why my tps would do this, but now when I press the accelerator, the car almost dies. It's responding to the tps changing resistance, but it's as though it's being flooded with air or something. But when I press it, the idle doesn't go back up, it stays at that certain rpm range. The video of what I'm trying to explain is at the top. Really need some help as I need my car to at least be drivable for tomorrow. Cheers.

So why is it when the accelerator is pushed, it sounds like the engine is 80 years old and about to die? And would that also explain why the TCS and Slip light is on? Or is that a problem on it's own?

Can't tell you exactly why the engine plays up when you blip the throttle. Probably depends on which direction you have it maladjusted.  Suffice to say, that the ECU needs to know where "closed" is and needs to know where "not closed" is (ie, everywhere else!) and uses that knowledge to decide whether to be on the idle maps or running on the main maps.  Needless to say, it won't run well on the wrong map.

You need to put the ECU into diagnostic mode and see what/if fault codes you have in there.  The ECU will report on the TCS DTCs that affect it.

Also, which TPS did you f**k with?  The engine's one?  Or the one on the TCS throttle?

Haha okay so I was a dipshit and when I put it back on, I did it so when you press the accelerator, the little thing that would push the tps would not move at all, so the engine had no Signal coming from the tps at all lol. I took of the tps in line with the actual throttle body tensioner and all that. Got the car running nice now, idle is back to the old problem of being rough and still hesitates, but the car runs. Back to square one. I think it might be either afm or the ignition coil harness

**Update**

So it ended up being the fuel pump, I'm sure these symptoms would be the same with a faulty fuel pump, but turns out my problem was just because the pump hose that sits in the tank had ripped open due to how it was mounted to the bracket, so it was loosing a shit tonne of pressure. All fixed now and mounted correctly. I'll attach the before and after pics

      He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...

      I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
