Ok peoples,

i have noticed that on hot days, when i have the air con on (even on half power) my R32 gtst auto, would sometimes be not capable of maintaining idle. the revs would drop and unless i stab the accelerator, the idle wont be restored. this will also happen when i put it into reverse with the air con (need to keep left foot on brakes and right foot feathering accerlerator!) it should be noted it doesnt happen all the time but recently has become more frequent.

what could be causing it to not mainttain idle when air con is on? is it from a worn out ignitor module? or has it got something to do with the tps and my auto comp? could worn out spark plugs cause this?

any help on this would be appreciated. thank you

A couple of things to check would be the iac valve, ac on input and out put connection to the ecu (which controls the idle up).

It could also be something to do with your tps or it's adjustment.

the iac is on the back of the plenum. It can get a bit clogged up so it's usually just a matter of hitting it with some degreaser and cleaning it out.

If the car is sitting and you turn on the air con does the idle increase at all?

Mine does this too, it not sieze, its got to do with the way the mangement system controls the power on idle - after I put the wolf in it just went away but I know what you are talking about. :P

Increasing the idle revs helps too.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
