Just another to show my appreciation! :) Great write up.. seems as though my gasket wasn't sealing properly, so I did it again and used the gasket goop as mentioned and now all has been sweet the last couple days so I think it's safe to say it's sorted.. Cheers! :)

when i cleaned my aac valve the bottom gold piece that connects the two hoses fell out.

is this just press fitted? if so mine doesnt fit to snug.. its abit wobbly.

i put some sealant around to help it stay in there. is this normal to be loose?

cheers

very good post :) but my issue is that when starting car for the first time in the day, it will kick over then idle very low for 5secs and die if i dnt give it some throttle to get it up to over 1000rpm..

everytime i start it, it will start but very low idle and dies.. today at 11am i started it, im in Adelaide and it was maybe 15degrees, turned it over let it start then within 5 secs it died, then kicked it again and it took about 10 secs to idle right....

would this AAC cleaning fix this or is it the fuel pump, im thinking of replacing the stock one with a WALBRO? and maybe even fuel filter and oxy sensor :) thanks reply or PM if you have any ideas

i thought i would give this a go and im very suppries by the results. I was finding that when coming to stop at lights of my driveway the car would drop idle to almost nothing then kick and drop again. it was ok if i kept in some gas as i can to a stop but would start faulting again if i didnt gas it. I just completed this walk through and am very pleased to report that my problem seems to have cleared. the car feels smooth when i come to a stop and the revs dont dip when i pull in the clutch anymore. big thumbs up and very handy guide

I know it's a old thread but thanks heaps did the clean today worked perfectly no more rev hunting at idle, stalling at lights ect, feels like a new car :) and I didn't even have to adjust the computer idle switch which saved a whole heap of time however that bottom pipe is a real pain to get off and on but other than that a very easy job took bout a hour n half( I know nothing about mechanics either).Thanks again.

I did the clean yesterday, ever since my car idles normally without the AAC plugged in but jumps to 1800 once it is plugged in.

I tested it by running the car without the solenoid bolted to the valve housing and noticed that even though the car was warm the solenoid would extend fully as soon as I plugged it in, thereby allowing a shitload more air through.

Fuse? Computer? f**ked solenoid?

from what i have read its under the aac somewhere on the block.

I have a similar problem to you. without aac plugged in it sits nicely at 800rpm. plug it in and it jumps to 1200 ....

I am stumped as to what to do next. Can anyone point us in the right direction ??

Also what happens if you run without aac plugged in ?? wontt cold start or will stall at idle or ??

As far as i understand that air regulator compensates for the A/C, the AAC solenoid should have a separate signal.

I'm hitting the dyno tomorrow I'll get them to check for a computer fault.

Heres a pic of a 32 gtst AAC guts.

It was filthy and needed a good scrub with carby cleaner.

See the dodged up spring, im replacing that of course.

Note also one plug and one pipe.(cant see pipe in pic)

?So when tuning the idle i wonder if i unplug the brown plug like you said (only one)?

I didn't manage to pull the guts out of mine like that, was that spring from the AAC valve or the solenoid?

Had my car on the dyno for a tune yesterday with some upgrades (Nistune, turbo, injectors, Z32 AFM) and I don't have the high idle problem anymore, guessing it was a computer fault.

Tom thanks for this thread, it has been helping people for 5 years :thumbsup: Including me today.

I've fixed the pics in the first post too. Anyone else with issues with threads, please use the report to moderator button, I didn't realise the pics were borken!

Has it been 5 years? Jeebus. Where does the time go?

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
