dakotahchore Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Alright alright people! I'm not reallllly planning to sell her I was just down in the dumps the other day about not driving her for months and was talking to a vehicle importer about a right hand drive AW11 MR2 :angel: New O2 and Knock sensor are on, everythings buttoned up, and she's charging right now. Gonna start her up later and see if there's any change! If not, she's gonna go to a custom nissan shop. (Deep's Garage) Quote Link to comment

dakotahchore Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well, that's it folks. I give up. I'm just saying fuck it and letting a shop fix this. I don't care if it costs 1000$, I'm over the headaches. Quote Link to comment

TENDRIL Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 does this have idle air control? edit: nvm i double checked Quote Link to comment
dakotahchore Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 does this have idle air control? Yes, but it doesn't seem to be working at all. Unplugging it results in the same thing. Still dying off throttle. Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 hmm i had an 86 audi that would do this ... it ended up being the iac and a vacuum leak from the diff. posi. switch Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 its something simple.. dont give up. its an engine, not a multi-stage nuclear rocket. 1 Quote Link to comment
dakotahchore Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 its something simple.. dont give up. its an engine, not a multi-stage nuclear rocket. Felt that way at first, and I keep getting told that the KA24DE is so easy to diagnose, but everyone that's looked at the car ends up scratching their head and the internet hasn't helped out too much thus far!

Busta Nut Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 If it runs fine off idle and only dies when you let off it's VERY possible it's just a vacuum leak/IAC issue..........all the IAC does is control a vacuum leak...... ..........at idle. Quote Link to comment

Could very well be... I might take off the intake, check gaskets, and try to quadruple check all my vaccuum lines are right again. I'll need a new IAC and the related harness Quote Link to comment

A can of carb cleaner can find a vacuum leak without taking anything off. ;) Quote Link to comment
dakotahchore Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 A can of carb cleaner can find a vacuum leak without taking anything off. ;) Tried that! Didn't do anything... I'm leaning more towards IACV problem? But even then wouldn't it still hold idle if the screw was all the way opened? Who knows... Quote Link to comment

I might take off the intake, check gaskets, and try to quadruple check all my vaccuum lines are right again. I'll need a new IAC and the related harness You don't need to take anything off.....it's harder to find the problem that way anyways...... Carb cleaner doesn't work that great........ Just go buy a small fog machine and hook up a hose from it to your intake somewhere.....plug of the induction tube and exhaust and smoke out the car...... I haven't tried this.........but I would if I didn't have access to a smoke machine......... Quote Link to comment
rattadat Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Busta is right. Smoke is the ultimate way to check for vacuum leaks. Gorgeous Goon BTW! Hope you get it figured out :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 a bong, a 2 liter, and a hose = smoke machine.... just sayn 5 Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 ^^well yes.....but you will need a little help from your friends...... ..........unless you are a true vet....(where's the stoner face smiley??) 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 it sounds like an air metering issue to me. does it run with the maf unplugged? could be a vac leak like mentioned before. not sure if a regular party fog machine will work like an emissions fogger. i think i tried it once.. but if you have one, go for it. make sure your fuel pressure is good.... and there IS gas in the tank. sounds dumb.... but yeah just be sure. lol Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Use a stethoscope. Take off the Membrane head so its just a loose hose at the end. Now you can reach around and listen for the leak. Its very easy to now you have found it. It's a great way to be sure you fixed it as well. Plus its easier than buying a fogger. I do approve of the bong method. You will find every vacuum leak, in the entire house too... Quote Link to comment
