I'm Going Hunting

I have a hcr32 gtst typem

rb20det with cooler, exhaust, locker, teins and a hicas lock.

My car has begun hunting, and after running the diagnostic tool, (which showed little,) cleaning the afm, tps and aac valve, and resetting the ecu, i am beggining to become confused and i am after suggestions as to why this could occur.

Does anyone know a 'normal' voltage or resistance for the AAC Valve? (as i beleive this is the source of the problem).

Also, when the fan (ie ac) is turned on, the idle drops from 1900 (way too high, but high enough for it not to hunt,) to about 1100 rpm. This is what leads me to beleive that it is the AAC Valve.

I have adjusted the idle, both at the AAC valve and the ecu, and it still idles way too high/ hunts.

Short of replacing all involved components (and my life savings at a local nissan dealership) what other suggestions do you have?

BTW, I have already searched, and the most common problems (TPS, AFM, AAC Valve etc) were dealt with

unplug the aac valve and see if the idle stabilizes. If it stalls adjust the idle screw until it will idle. Check for vacuum leaks (insert usual atmo bov/loose spring question here).

You could just have a faulty aac valve. By disconnecting power it cannot increase or reduce the amount of air the engine can breath. If the idle still hunts then it's something else, if it stabilizes then it's the valve.

Stepper motors can have over 200 different positions... but O.T.

This is about the AAC Valve (I think,) I had a good look at that thread, and most inoformation was useful, but didn't solve the problem. What other reasons coudl there be for a unusually high idle?

All Nissan's use PWM 2 wire idle valves not stepper motors.

RB20s often size the cold idle valve open (Bimetal spring controled) and idle fast causing the over run fuel cut to hunt.Block this of and see if it stops the problem.This is not the idle speed valve remember but the warmup valve.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
