Removing Aac? Has Anyone Done It?

[simons987]

Hi Guys,

I havern't seen many posts outlining the results of removing the AAC. Obviously to make up for it missing you would need to adjust the Throttle body to allow the right amount of air in idle. I know it is silly for it to be removed as it helps out when Aircon and power steering is been used + stacks of other things. Personally I am keeping mine on. But it would be nice seeing if people have done it and can provide their knowledge to anyone that decides to remove it.

The Main questions I would ask if I was doing it is.

1. When adjusting the TPS would you reset the postion to 0 once you find the perfect idle or would you allow the ECU to relise there is some throttle been put down.

2. Would there be any problems with a BOV setup as creating a system like this you will never have full throttle closure.

3. Has any one experienced problems when going into full lock or turning on the air con.

mine is not connected but thats due to the car not having aircon at all however im running a microtech also

The Microtech would have its own Idle control, I wonder if anyone has run it on a stock ecu or with Nistune????? Do you still have your TPS on and how is it setup? Is it configured to identify there is idle or has it been reset??

AAC is still needed without aircon

Why would you want to take the AAC off? It just creates headaches doing so

and yes i still do have a TPS
