Hi guys,

My 1JZGTE Manual (JZA70) idles weirdly just recently after I had a very slight knock at the front.

Whenever I start my car now,the engine starts to idle from 1000rpm and jump straight to 3000rpm,down to 1000rpm and rise to 3000rpm for over and over again.The idle doesn't sounds rough,but it is just not right as the car should idle around 700~900rpm.

What could be the problem guys?I really need to know since I need to travel with this car within this week.

Thanks.

cabut the socket plug at idling control valve and see if it drops low to 500rpm ..... if it drop and idles there... tat means your valve have problem.... probably need some cleaning inside or its completely spoilt

That is one of the almost definite symptoms of a vacuum leak. Check all vacuum tubing and see whether there are any disconnected, cracked, broken, loose vacuum hose connected to the vacuum manifold i.e Map sensor tube, blow-by gas tube.

Also, check the pcv valve at the blow-by gas tube as old engines tend to have a blown pcv valve.

check if blow-bye gases have gone past the one-way valve into the manifold and clogged up/melted the map sensor.If so u got to clean up the throttle body,O2 sensors etc.If still same idling problem change the ECU!

Hi All,

Anyone here have experience different reading when dynoing with different gear(example 3rd or 4th or 5th) on a Dynojet?

Knowing that dynojet utilizing fix mass and how fast(time) to accelerate the dyno roller,so I was thinking if we were to use lower gear,examples 3rd gear ,we may have better acceleration/shorter timer compare to dyno with 4th or 5th due to shorter gear ratio which may lead to higher whp reading?
I heard some tuner will use gear with gear ratio near to 1,but...
