Hi guys,

First off my car is idling at 1100rpm and i cant seem to lower it.

I've check the idle controller, the screw is all the way in I've adjusted the 6 the butterfly plates. Cant do it with the computer. and there's no air leaks.

What else can i do???

Cheers Tom

yeah i just adjusted them. Nah didn't clean them read another thread saying don't clean the plates cause it heaps seal???

Air regulator????

Air regulator...are you sure about the throttles? Did you pull them out and clean them, or just adjust?

That could be your problem. You need to disconnect the electrical plug before adjusting the screw to get the idle correct.

(You may need to "unadjust" the butterflies too)

Yeah that's for a RB25. what do you do for a RB26???.

might have another play with it. see how i go.

Pretty much the same thing (but i havent done it myself yet so not 100% sure). The AAC is just under the plenum, held on by 4 small bolts and not too hard to get to IIRC. Here's a plenum off pic showing where it mounts - its the vertical face just to the left of the braided hoses - sorry dont have a pic of the AAC itself.

Yeah it's the same. With the engine running take off the brown plug off the back of the aac valve then screw the adjuster in to lower the idle, then plug it back in, it should then be reset. The other thing is that the idle solenoid does cark it with age.

hi guys,

i pulled off the idle solenoid and cleaned it and reset it and still didnt lower the idle. if i take the brown plug off the solenoid i can control the idle then????

You need to have the idle control unplugged from the ECU, otherwise the ECU just keeps making corrections to the AAC valve position. That defeats the whole purpose of the exercise.

Have you also "unadjusted" the butterflies?

how do you unplugged it from the ECU???

yeh i adjusted them to get the idle down, but it only went higher. so i put it back,

Bad choice of words - should have said 'disconnected'.

Simply disconnect the electrical plug from the AAC valve, that will "unplug" it from the ECU.

Put it all back to "factory" first, then do the necessary adjustments.

Hey tom !

Theres two things you may need to do,they are both quite difficult unless your competent with spanners and common sense.(no disrespect !)

first,if your idle screw is all the way in,it sounds like the spring in the valve may need a bit more tension.Directly underneath the idle valve screw you will see a circular blob of glue,behind that is another screw that tensions the idle valve,you`ll have to chip all that away,then you`ll find either a plastic or brass screw that will screw in to tension the idle valve,plastics ones are a pain so maybe you might want to go for option 2...which is...

Where your 3 throttle linkages meet the throttle cable(bolted on the plenum)remove the three(8mm headed nuts)take the adjustable linkage off the throttle control and pull on them slowly and try to feel any resistance,you should feel a slight resistance as the butterfly breaks from the closed position,repeat the process for the other two(each one controls 2 cylinders).Now if you look where they connect at the bottom of the throttle bodies you`ll see a screw(throttle stop) withanother 8mm headed lock nut,the screw has a philips screwdriver slot so you can unscrew the stop and then use the locknut to secure it.If you can experiment with the first screw(which is the easiest to get to)try unscrewing it and feel the resistance improve.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother

      Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)

      I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading.

      Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?

      Stagea Automatic Box

      Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
