Hi peoples! I noticed while i was snooping around my engine bay that the the brown outlet on my aac valve doesn't have anything plugged into it.I have a forward facing plenum on my RB25 and the brown and purple outlets are not easily visible or easy to reach.I can't see a brown plug with wires attached that matches the brown outlet on the aac valve.I have however fond a dark blue on dangling around the same area. The purple plug on the aac valve is currently connected.Will it have any adverse effect on my engine if the brown plug remains as is?

you unplug it when setting the correct idle rpm, are you having idle issues?

Yeah the electronics do some sort of compensation, so you unplug, adjust idle, reconnect. I'm guessing without it connected you could expect the idle to be too drop low when the air con is on?? Or maybe when its cold?

It still idles at around 1000rpm when cold and idles between 750 &800 rpm when warm.still seems to idle around 750 with A/C on as well.Doesn't concern me too much,just wanted to make sure it wasn't damaging the engine or anything.

There should be a brown plug for the AAC (idle speed control). The purple plug is for the FICD solenoid. Basically it increases the idle when the AC is switched on. The dark blue plug is for the air regulator which operates independent of the ECU and is used to increase the idle when the engine is cold. The air regulator closes once the engine gets warm.

If the AAC is not connected there must be another means of idle control (presumably you have an aftermarket ECU).

Yes, i have power fc. thanks for your info mate. So in other words if i put a stock ecu back in it would idle crappy?

    • Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.
    • Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.
    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
