Idling problem

[topdog]

Coolant and vacume leak would both cause irratic idling but dont think they would make it smokey like that. I could be wrong and stand to correction of course but its very smokey.
At a guess and I could be way off but maybe turbo trouble???

The turbo has no play in the shaft, but its a T25 off a CA18

I also fucked a full container of stk injector cleaner and octaine booster into the tank

Maybe the mixture of the injector cleaner and the octaine booster together might be doing it???

@ian.... Would the afm make it smokey aswell??

[ian g sr20]

smokey? it doesnt look that smokey its proberly a cold shed car not stared in a whle its gona look smokey as if it has full exhaust, and the air fuel mixture will be wrong if the afm is reading wrong yes that would cause it 2 be smokey also my 1 was blowing black smoke running lean

could also be another thing to look at.....

my car had exacly the same symptoms,turned out my ecu was sending funny signals to my fuel pump,cutting it off for a second and not signaling it properly so the car would rev smooth,i had this problem for a while,wired the fuel pump direct and its be fine ever since...i dunno is your pump wired direct or what...

yup the pump is wired direct to the battery via switch.

Danmoorhead reckons i could have a vaccum pipe disconnected.

Another thing is that the car hasnt ran in a while, would that contribute to it??

No haveing it sat for a while shouldnt cause that,was it running fine the last time you started it?what work have you done to it since...it does sound like a vacum pipe,air in the system or maybe a airflow meter issue....?if it was running fine before and you havent been working on it,then obviosuly there cant be vacum pipe disconnected,could be a split pipe,is the cooling system bleed?

Bleed the cooling system, its prob the handiest to do at the moment without another AFM.
Is there water running through the top right hose going from the rad to the block. Giv it a squeeze... if theres nothing running through and you have coolant u'll need to get the thermostat to open and let everything thru. Jump in the car and flick on the fans with a bit of heat, also pop off the radiator cap (careful shes not silly hot, burn urself) and have a look at the level in the rad.
