i just finish the sr20det swap and
check all the wires, harness and piping
when i start the car the car will idle so bad i will almost cut out
so i was wondering could it be my maf or something else
i thought it was vac leak at first but i check all the piping and it was a tight and seal,
i have people told me that i could be the maf, inganition timing, cam angle sensor,
but the most unusal thing is
when i unplug the maf the car will idle fine
please reply guys
thanks

Clean the mafs sensor unit carefully with a q tip and alcohol. Gentle!\
\\

Do not disrupt the wires.


Very careful on the windings.


And... clean the connectors...check the grounds...you can readjust the idle...it is fine to turn it up to proper..all this just don't fall in place with our gas and environment...also the engine has not been run out in a while.

Do some Italian tune ups and get it leaned out and change the oil again, pamper, and reset ecu a few times. It will click in there.


Leaks in pipes...check many times.

One dude had a bad intercooler...causing problems.

Run a can of techron to clean the injectors. Take a pencil eraser to the terminals of the igniter terminals and make sure it is clean. Make sure ECU is fully plugged in and instrument cluster is grounded properly.

All this schnitt. Fuel filter??? New. Bigger Fuel pump? Needed.


EGR, look at leakage.

Go for yourself her.

Hope some of this helps...and check all vac lines. no stone unturned.

Does the car idle okay after it has warmed up?

Have you tried adjusting the idle air controll motor? There is an adjustment screw that you can see if you look between the #2 and #3 intake runners. Turn it out to raise your idle...

agin check BOV see if it is blowing out air at idle, also, fuel lines.
fuel rail!!!
when they pulled my SR in japan they did it by the rail and because it wasn't sealing properly it wouldn't idle, i actually removed it and bent it back.

to check if it is fuel related, if your car is ideling like shit or barely idleing if you need to hold the key down or whatever, give her 1/2 throttle and hold it for a few seconds, if it is fuel related she will eventually kick in, it will sound like it is idleing fine, but once you let go she will die.
if so ... check fuel issues.

i dont think is the fuel rail cause my car is running pretty rich
cause when i unplug the maf and drive it
i smell alot of unburn fuel if thats the case
i also try swapping ecu it will still do that so
i like 60 percent sure that is the maf
but i been thought like three of them aready

also i try using the 89 sohc maf
i will still do the same
i was wondering will it work with the sr
same wiring right
the harness is alittle different
so guys give me advice please
thanks

the 89/90 mafs does work.

did you do the wiring right on the mafs?
and do you have a bov that is blowing air it idle?

could be the intercooler, try running any pipe around where the i/c would be, even PV would be fine but only let it idle for a few seconds.

also on the turbo extension i have a hole right there
it connects to the down pipe
i was wonder what kind of screw do i need to use to cover that hole
that hole is like a 17 i think
it use to be a metal pipe that connects to the o2 i think

put the pipe back in, bend it fold it over acouple of times and seal it with gasket sealer just to be sure =D

it can still be the maf right
