The car idles at 1120 rpm at cold start

When warm it sits on 1250 rpm

I've taken the aac valve and cleaned it.

The adjustment screw is all the way in. I can't find any air leaks. But the previous owner fitted a RB20 aac valve on the rb25det using a metal plate adaptor .

Next to check is the air regulator ? Which I've read is a pain in the ass to get to.

Any advice?

I've cleaned the air regulator the one under the plenum. Also cleaned the throttle body and made sure its fully closed at close position.

I've got a microtech dash and its displaying the tps at 0% on idle.

Cold start idles at 1120 rpm

Warms up it idles around 1250rpm

This driving me nuts

What else can I check ?

It's running LT-8 but I don't have a cable and software to plug in to a laptop yet.

I've been researching and most threads point either to replacing AAC Or air regulator or cleaning which I've done.

But really wanting to replace the AAC valve as the previous owner installed a RB20 AAC valve and made a metal plate to fit on the rb25 plenum.

I can't find any info or instructions in regards to the Microtech Dash. Some forums states its only displaying data but microtech have them listed as displaying and also program the ecu. So not sure really as I've never played with these before.

Anyone got a diagram of how the hoses of AAC and air regulator should be connected?

Would have been nice to know from the beginning that you had an aftermarket ECU.

The Microtech will be programmed to aim for a particular rpm @idle. It will also have different fuel and ignition maps from a stock ECU. So the things that work for a stock ECU won't necessarily work for you.

I'm pretty sure it will be something in the programming of the Microtech that is causing this problem.

FYI - I run a Wolf on my RB25DET, and I have never had to adjust the AAC valve to set the idle. Idle is controlled by the settings in the Wolf, and it idles around 800.

Where's a good place to take my car get the idle sorted out in south side brissy.

I always pass Elite Automotive at Archerfield but I always see fords and holdens.

I've replaced the aac and recheck for leaks and I think blink_elk is right the microtech comp needs adjusting.

Anyone knows if its hard to do? if I buy the dongle as I can alway disconnect the microtech dash and plug it on to my laptop

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
