Idle Issues

[S14kouki805]

On cold starts my idle bounces up and down between 1000-2500RPM and will sometimes stall out if I'm not steady on the gas. Problem goes away after the car is warm though.

The engine is an S13 blacktop, Z32 MAF, Blitz atmospheric BOV (I know I need to recirculate).

I was having issues with stalling after high boost due to the BOV, so increased the idle using the screw at the IACV.

I'm thinking TPS or temperature sensor. The thermostat is new.

Any ideas?

Check your codes, clean throttle body, check tips setting, what is vac psi at idle

My old z32 would bounce when the throttle body was dirty. Not saying it will fix it but it's cheap and easy.

Thanks I'll try that, any other suggestions anyone out there?

try blocking the bov so it cant leak any air first. then do a pressure test if it still has trouble.

Ok, so I replaced the temperature sensor, cleaned the MAF and throttle.

Car seems to run smoother but still have the cold start/idle issue albeit not as bad.

I also have the issue of it firing up on the 2nd try only. First turn of the key never works but will fire right up on the 2nd time EVERY time. From what I can find it may be the FPR going out or leaking.

you say its bouncing up and down?

does it ever randomly hold at around 3000?

my guess would be faulty wiring connection on the idle control valve.
