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.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
