R32 Rb20det Problems

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.

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?

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
