Get the base idle reset and re-learn the idle you can clean out the isv valve also

You need to find someone with evoscan they will be able to park the stepper motor then set the base idle with the adjusting screw on the throttle body.

Once the idle is set remove the negative battery terminal for 5 mins then reconnect it make sure all electrical items are switched off and start the car allow it to idle for 10 mins. After 10 mins switch all electrical items on eg. lights/heaters/heated screen ect. then allow it to idle for another 10 mins.

I'd also check the lambda sensor to see if its still functioning

turns out this was my plugs they needed changing!

 

[sponners]

thats a strange one.......least its right now and a nice easy fix

yeah well it was reading 286bhp on rollers then plugs were changed and got 315bhp result!

 

[ElDopesta]

Those plugs were too far gone!

I think the last time they were changed was probably just before it went into the Auction in Japan and then they were just forgotten about!

When was it last serviced and are there any records relating to the Gear Oil etc. having been changed???

roufy said he changed the gear oil when he done my clutch.but engine oil needs doing i know that for a fact ayc seems fine had new plugs just needs oil filter and air filter replacement now

 

[ElDopesta]

Is your air filter a box or an uprated unit???

its uprated el remember its a hks fake u said,uve seen it a mushroom filter:sad:

 

[youngy_315]

he told me mine was fake too. but el sorted it as usual.

it really grips my sh*t that people go out of the way to do crappy replicas. im having the same problem with the r4i card i just got being fake

 

[ElDopesta]

The easiest way to get around the fake HKS Mushrooms is to replace the Foam Filter with a Genuine SPF-R replacement Foam Filter.

The swirl effect created by the fake mushroom is nowhere near as good as that which is created by a genuine item but at least the air intake is free of foreign particles.
