For All Those Who Ever Had Back Fire, Idle And Aac Valve Problems

[WogsRus]

HI ALL

Well here it is, after spending countless hours reading and trying everyhting, nothing would cure my backfire and the fact that i could not set the engine idle with the TP off lower then 900 rpm. Cleaned my AAC Valve, tested for leaks ect ect. You name it i tried it.

IT turns out the culpret was the Air Regulator, the one mounted below the intake plenum. Mine was simply not closing fully, it would simply not allow the orfice to close. So air always entered the car, enough to make a differance.

I took mine apart, being very carfull, a whole heap of stuff inside, and cleaned everything with carb cleaner, and problem solved.

The air regulator is an absolute pain in the ASSSSS to get to, here is the pic for R33 and R32.

I recomend everyone tries this and see if their problem goes away.

If it helps others i can do a write up on what needs to be done to get it off.

To test each one, simply plug up a battery to the terminals and after 7 minuts the orfice should be closed.

Good luck all, my problems have gone away, well have other problems but one down. LOL

Top stuff matey, I didnt know it exsisted, just how hard are they to get out?

A write up on cleaning it would be very helpful, I have a feeling this is a culprit that has gone unnoticed.

I will take some pics on the weekend, and do a write up then. It's noo to bad, but i found it was easier to acces from the bottom, from memory, there is only one bolt to get to, the hardest thing is removing the hose clamps.

Basicaly, if you've cleaned your AAC valve and nothing, then this is the next thing in line, i found mine was bugared simply because my rpm idle set procedure do not sit below 900 rpm.

Inside ther is some springs and a diaphram, not to bad, but you don't have to take it appart, if you spray carbon cleaner into it and so forth it will remove 90% of the problem.

Good job! Might want to copy-paste this in the DIY area for the mods to approve?

I couldn't be stuffed with mine, so I just blocked the hose off with a bolt for now till I can be bothered getting to it...

One downside, on cold starts you need to warm up the car before it's driveable, but summer is here now so I'll do it at the end of summer.. haha
