Duffman Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've had some problems with the idle on my supe for some time now...in fact i'm starting to get used to it as it's been so long. Car starts up with a puff of smoke out the exhaust and revs about 700RPM...if I give it a rev & then release the accelerator the revs drop right down to 200RPM as if its going to cut out but then they creep back up to 700RPM...when I have taken it for a drive and the engine is fully heated up it will idle at about 1100RPM I have been having these idling problems since trying to fit a Greddy BCC incorrectly. The car was overfuelling like mad and I ended up ruining the plugs. Bought a set of IK22's to replace the old plugs. It looks to me like there is something not right with the fuelling. Would these symptoms relate to over fueling? Also how would I get this problem sorted out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Have you tried a different ECU incase you have damaged it wiring the BCC incorrectly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know a local guy who tried his ECU in my car & it didn't even start for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 idle control valve maybe, seems like its slow to react after you blip the throttle off idle. Try cleaning it, if nothing else it'll make you feel like your trying something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 From what you're describing, i would reset/adjust the TPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try cleaning it, if nothing else it'll make you feel like your trying something! I have removed the 2 bolts before to give it a clean...but couldn't get the 2 screws out which hold it together asd the screws were fudged From what you're describing, i would reset/adjust the TPS. I was thinking something along the line sof the TPS as this is where the BCC gets wired into and it was one of these wires which were cut...how would I reset/adjust the TPS?

Scott Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Have you checked that your getting a good spark from all the plugs? Does it run like a suberpoo when idling? A while back my car was sitting for a while and when i fired it up it had the suberpoo rumble. I took off the coil packs one at a time (replacing them after each turn) to see if any didn't make a difference. One didn't, changed the clip on it and gave it all a good clean... hey presto job done. Other than that TPS or IDC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say it sounds like a suberpoo when idling...it was like that before and I chnged the plugs because they were soaking. Changed all the connectors not long ago made no difference. What is the IDC? My cars erattic idling issues was sorted with a change of spark plugs along with a number of other faults. What were the other issues as I chnaged the plugs not long ago to some IK22's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franko Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It gave me a faulty MAP sensor signal as well as a camshaft fault signal, the car sometimes liked to run in "safe" mode where it limits the revvs to less than 2k so not to ruin the engine. I had iridium plugs in, i did 3000 miles and they were gone changed to a set of coppers and hasnt missed a beat yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely start with that, here are the pages from the manual for setting TPS.# I have included the sub throttle adjustment pages should you need them.

I had iridium plugs in, i did 3000 miles and they were gone changed to a set of coppers and hasnt missed a beat yet. Chnaged to a set of coppers (BKR7E) and the idling issue is still there.

Don't want to start mucking about with this would rather someone who knew what they were doing do it...electrical stuff and me usually don't agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
