Yeah would work, I personally don't like that one myself and I normally use the one below, don't know why just prefer it over many of the others, just remember clean both surfaces well with carby cleaner put a thin bead around the aac valve let it dry for about 15 minutes finger tighten let dry for another 15 minutes then tighten her up.

Just completed this....took a newbie hour and a half. Car is a lot smoother both when accelerating and standing still. Seems to have removed the engine hunting issue.

One thing I did differently was cleaning the insides, spraying wasn't doing much so ended up filling a bowl with the cleaner and letting it sit for 5 minutes. Also the gasket was in pretty decent condition so just used the same one.

Thanks for awesome walk through! :yes:

I've been having a few issues with my car recently in the way thats it seems sluggish and hesitant through the rev range specifically between 2-4k
I recently adjusted my AAC valve before reading this without first unplugging the brown plug (rb20det) could this be a cause to the issue, maybe I adjust it too far or something? Ideas?

Hey All, 

First of all good write up!

Has anyone ever had an issue where they have cleaned their IACV and then put it all back together to have a ticking noise from the IACV? Seems to only be present when revving the car and sometimes at idle. I've made 100% sure it is coming from the IACV by unplugging the brown connector, seems to stop straight away when unplugged. Let me know guys, it's doing my head in.

So I'm stumped... all of a sudden my idle hangs at around 1400rpm for about 30 seconds before it drops to it's set idle of 900rpm, cleaned aac valve and tried adjusting etc etc with no luck, any ideas?

Hi All, 

Per my last post, I think the issue maybe due to frequency setting on my Wolf 3D V4. Did some more searching online last night and read that someone has a similar issue to me but in a Haltech.

Since I don't have the hand controller or the cable to connect to the Wolf, I may have to give it in for a tune. 

I'll update once I have more information.

    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...
