That's your AACV....car ain't going to idle or run without it....it should be mounted properly and hoses clamped on tight....very hard to beleive it just fell out.

Hopefully it was just another spare part laying around in the engine bay....

It mounts on your intake plenum around cylinders four and five, just below the throttle body.

That's your Air Reg.(cold start fast idle valve)

Car will run fine without it PROVIDED the air hoses are re-connected properly.

Otherwise you'll have a huge air leak and she won't go.

My guess is it's been by-passed previously (aftermarket plenum perhaps) and finally decided to fall off.

It could be blocked off in the past and hence not affecting the engine. If that "were" to fall out, you'll have massive misfires, idle problems as it loops into the plenum.

Those usually fail all the time on RB20DETs and mechanics just block them off.

wait stop everything

u can block them off?

Correct, that's what mechanics so. Problem is sometimes on very cold days you might find you will need to slightly press down the accelerator to get the car to start.

The hose comes off the cross over pipe, into the AAC and back up into the plenum/TB. I've found out on several RB20s (including my previous car) that it was blocked off with a bolt.

Problem is when these AAC fail, no matter what you do, the idle is quite high. People often mistaken this for the IAC valve, spend hours adjusting idle, etc.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
