Jixaman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hi guys, long time no post... Life took a bit of a turn the last year or so, we'v adopted a wee boy so the Z has been off the road, the whole 2 seat thing just dosnt carry a family so while ahv been skint its been restricted to a 5 minute run to keep her healthy... Question, can the idle be set via OBD? Reason asking she's developed a niggle she had a year or so ago but stopped doing it just as she started, real odd. She runs fine but once warmed up the revs drop to like 500 or something and the engine management light comes on, followed by the slip and VDC. If I keep the revs up she runs normal its only when you take your foot off the accelerator and the revs drop to this ridiculously low idle and ah dont know how it happened. Only thing of note is ah left the lights on last weekend and had to recharge the battery from dead as in power locks no work, nothing... Battery charged ok, just this running issue... Any input appreciated... Cheers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC350Z Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 revs sound fine for when warm try doing the ecu reset as battery was off should sort out the lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC350Z Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Also try cleaning the maf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 throttle body reset maybe? This but add the idle learn on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixaman Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Ok, will go through all the resets... Got to be something daft as it resets itself (no lights) when you turn off the ignition and restart the car, just when the revs drop it goes into limp mode... Cleaning the MAF sounds like a plan too... Anyone got the location ? Cheers for that BBKid, I'v already got him into karting, were just starting and wont / cant throw big money at it, the main thing is the lad has fun and the bonus is he will already know how to drive when he's old enough to. He's just doing laps just now, time in the seat, might even get a couple of races towards the end of the season, plan is to race next year in Scotland / North England. Watch this space... Cheers...

Watshot Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The MAF plugs into the air intake tube behind the airbox. One on the DE, two on the HR (one on each side). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
