idling is much improved, stalling now as good as non existent, seems to have settled down?

EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS, thanks for a great and useful post

Hey guys, im new to the forum, have a r33 series 2 which every now and again has a idling hunting problem like mentioned when clutching in at lights or when turning the wheels standing still ( putting additional strain on the engine) or when turning on the aircon at idle.

was wondering, what will happen if i take off the AAC and clean it out as per instructions, and refit it and start my car without resetting the idle and fidling with the computer ?

will it work fine as before or is it nescessary to play with the idle on the computer ?

Regards SImon.

Read my post again. Don't worry about touching the computer. Just manipulate the physical idle screw to get the desired results.

Cheers insu. Just cleaned mine last weekend using your tutorial. Idling is 100% smoother and no more stalling at the lights.

You are a champion!!

highly recommended to be done it helped fix all my idling issues...extremely simple and can be done within 10 minutes

I just want to show my appreciation too

My car has been idling at 1500rpm for the past 2 months and sometimes the idle would hunt as well especially when I had my clutch in when slowing down at lights, it was extremely irritating and made the car noisier because of the high idle.

My mechanic replaced a few hoses and checked the sensors but he gave up after I kept coming back

Lucky i found this thread, removed that thing and it was clogged with carbon. Sprayed its insides with WD40 and wiped out all that black gunk. THe spring moves alot more freely now and my idle's back to normal and so's my sanity lol

Thanks again insu

where can u get the gasket other than nissan? can u get it from like super cheap auto and that?

[Cubes]

ACL gasket paper ftw.

I've used a tube of silicon in the past but it works out cheaper but harder to grab some suitable gasket paper.

[RBLUV]

just did this on my 32, u have to take alot more apart to get to the spring whereas with the 33's its visible as soon as you take the unit off

[5hu7o]

attemped to do this but the screws for the aac thingy with the green sticker ddnt budge even wen i put wd40 to make it a bit looser. so ill try again another time

[nyron.shaw]

can anyone help me........i have a rb25det....asoon as i dissconnect the tps sensor to adjust the idle screw the car dies....

can someone pleaseeeee help me

[shortcropblonde]

Nice tutorial! But what happens if there is no adjustment screw on my ECU? The idling RPM went up as soon as I reattached the brown plug. Do I turn the idle screw down again? My car is a R32 GTR with a R33 GTR ECU. Not sure why the change? Please advise if anyone? Thanks millions.

[Penfold]

Any pics for a R33 GTR - I really need to do this as my aircon (warmed up) causes my car to hunt - any info?

[and3_3]

If i went to my mechanic and told him to clean the acc valve on my car would he know what im talking about and how to do it?

I tried doing it myself and could not get the third bolt out, too much stuff in the engine bay to turn my spanner...
