Gday guys,

I got an rb20det in an r32 that is giving me a problem.

At idle it is surging between stall before it rises to normal idle at 700 and does this continually and sometimes stalls, this has became ever increasingly annoying in town driving as it stalls when you put the clutch in and while its in nuetral.

If we disconnect a vaccumn line and let it suck straight air it returns to a normalish-high idling range but with no surging.

ECU shows of no error codes.

Driving me insane, anyone got any ideas?

Regards

Stan

Hi dude,

We had that problem too. The problem is a faulty Idle Air Control valve (I think that's what it is called). Ours was stuck half closed or something.

Clean it, and try again. If that fails the solenoid inside will be broken and you'll need a replacement like us.

wil..

Really? damn thats a tight spot to get too :teehee: will have a crack at it and see if we can clear the problem.

Thanks heaps mate, your a champ.

Its the Auxilliary Air Control valve (AAC) that you want - hangs off the back of the plenum.

It's been the cause of thousands of threads.

yeah and 9 times out of 10 its the IAC valve thats down near the fuel rail thats the cause of the prob. i had the exact same prob, followed by a consistant high idle, so i cleaned the AAC valve which did SFA, so i just blocked off the IAC valve and now it idles at a smooth 900 rpm, cause i couldnt be bothered fixing the damn thing thats so hard to get to

IAC gives a constant high idle speed, the AAC valve gives a "hunting" idle speed.

tazr32 has "hunting", so it's more likely a problem of a dirty AAC valve.

(On a 32, the IAC valve is the one underneath the throttle body. On a 33, it is under the inlet plenum. The AAC valve hangs off the back of the inlet plenum on both models)

I think I might have a dirty AAC valve because my car wont idle. It drives fine but when you come to a stop it idles for a second before dropping out and stalling. When I restart it idles fine, but once I start driving again the first time I stop the idle just drops and conks out again. Does this sound like a dirty aac valve problem? To clean the aac valve do you use carby cleaner?

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
