  • I explain the whole situation with my G35 Coupe idle problem. Let me know if its happening to your 350z or g35. Also the proper way on how to clean your MAF (mass air flow sensor) on your G35 and 350z

    I just did chains and tensioners, got bad idle even after a relearn , might check over me plenum , it does seem like an airleak ,just goto do some fault finding..... its my second car so it's on the backburner for now,after reading yours was a vac leak im going to look extra hard.

    @junior420ist Před 6 lety +4

    That is a cooling fan motor going bad. When ur cooling fans kick on it drawls too many amps from the battery and starves the ignition system that’s when your idle drops, unplug your fans one at a time an let idle, see if it still does it. My driver side fan motor went bad on my 350z did the same thing. I unplugged the bad fan and ran one cooling fan and no more idle issues. I have since then replaced the fan motor. Hope this helps!

      Thanks Ill keep an eye out for that. It actually ended up being my plenum spacer sticking out past the plenum so there was a gap for air to be sucked in lol. Bent it back and so far no idle problems.

    sometimes coils takes awhile to stuff out. you really notice it when departure warms up the the coil will miss fire . especially while driving. it just gets worse over short period of time. I,ve had one of those problems one was coil. but when I drove the car. it got better. then it stuffed out. pity you can,t get your hand down to the coil wires and unplug each one when its running. otherwise you,ll have to use a muti-meter. one time my maf stuffed out. I try cleaning it as you did. but never work. it turn out it was the maf. and I got it rebuilded. but that's on my r32. but g35 hence skyline got tomany sensors .do want you plan to do, find out the code .this from a kiwi

    • @OPDrags
      @OPDrags  Před 5 lety +1

      Depends on what youre doing with the car. The kinetix velocity is not a beginner mod to do. Its made for upper rpm power past the stock redline. So the proper mods/supporting mods are recommended with it. If you want a nice feeling daily driver setup with performance more down low/midrange rpm then yes the mrev2 is better to go with. However you can get a DE lower plenum and get it ported and itll out perform the mrev2. Limp Mode Tuning does porting. You can message them on facebook. Would highly recommend that option over the mrev2

It’s just that when you’re at a stop light or stop sign, it idles all fucked up. When I’m at a stop light or sign. It feels like my car is gonna stall but bounces back up to normal idle.

First is I feel like the car is slower when accelerating now for some reason and the second thing is that when I first start my car up, it idles fine for a few seconds and then jumps up and back down like I revved the car even tho I didn't touch the pedal.

      @@OPDrags my fx35 is doing the exact same thing and I've replaced all the same stuff including the valve covers and gaskets, radiator, coil packs, plugs, maf and maf connector. Does the same thing, idles fine for 5-10 seconds, then drops down to almost a stall out for a couple seconds, then revs itself high for a second, then back to normal. With all that, would you assume it might also be a vacuum leak in mine as well?

    What was the fix?

      @Foursterrr Před 5 lety

      Because I recently changed my spark plugs (NGK Iridium) and I think that it may be just that. Gears and Gasoline recommended to use the recommended spark plug. Was that the issue? I cleaned my MAF sensors too and it didn't really work. My car has the same symptoms too (shakes every 10-30 seconds at idle and it runs fine when driving).
