idle issue

[xjokux]

I'm having an idle issue.. stalls when hot at the lights.

Am I better off buying a new ISC from meek?

and is there's any easier way to remove it? I couldn't get to the screw under the TB.

Just unplug the Isc and see if that helps.

 

[xjokux]

I think I have LOL

I think forgot to plug it back in, from my parents and it stalled on me twice.

which means its not my ISC.

 

[brisvr4]

What type of Bov are you running?

 

[xjokux]

it's a after market one that i got off the halfcut, its plumb back bov

it started a few days after i got the exhaust done. would it just need a professional tune up?

 

[brisvr4]

Probably wouldn't hurt to recheck the timing and reset the idle too.

 

[xjokux]

what do you mean by reset the idle? just adjust it again.

 

[brisvr4]

Yep, what does it idle at when cold?

 

[xjokux]

starts every time.. it does the auto idle till its warmed up but it's round 1100-1300 then settles down to 1000

 

[brisvr4]

Weird, something is definately up when it is hot then. Have you done a boost leak test to make sure that isn't the culprit. If not, you might want to do one.

 

[xjokux]

It did have a leak before I got the exhaust done but I fixed it before that. I'm pretty sure there's no leak cause it up and goes. It does spike a bit like 5 or so

I did have leak before I got the exhaust done but i fixed it before i got that done. I'm certain it doesn't have a boost leak but it does spike. higher the revs the more it spikes, max would be 5 or so at 6k

Suggestions for stalling problems.
1. Check ISC with a multimeter (refer VFAQ)
2. Pressure test the intake and fix any air leaks (refer VFAQ)
3. Reset the BISS (refer VFAQ)
4. If it's an A spec, try an egr block off plate.

Do NOT just adjust the idle speed screw on the top of the throttle body, it will not fix the problem, it will only make the idle more erratic and possibly worse.

i'll just add this in here too.. ticking noise from engine would because of lifters? where's the best spot to get new one or recommended ones.

Proma mbl8 will quieten those lifters

To actually fix the problem get a set of the new revised lifters which have a much bigger holes in the top's than the 1st generation ones that you currently have
see here > http://www.meek.com.au/index.php?v=Product&id=172&pcid=12

 

[xjokux]

but i should be getting the vr4 ones?

 

[rob323]

No, the vr4 ones have much smaller holes in the top of them and they get clogged up if the oil isn't changed frequently. The later generation ones above fit perfectly and are the same size (many people have done the upgrade both here and in the US), and due to the larger hole, don't have the "ticking" problem you are experiencing.

But, it would pay to let one of us other Brissy guys have a listen just to make sure it is the lifters. And check your oil level too in case it's gotten a bit too low and your lifters are just politely letting you know.

OK here are 4g63 lifters http://www.meek.com.au/index.php?v=Product&id=42&pcid=12
