I have a hcr32 gtst typem

rb20det with cooler, exhaust, locker, teins and a hicas lock.

My car has begun hunting, and after running the diagnostic tool, (which showed little,) cleaning the afm, tps and aac valve, and resetting the ecu, i am beggining to become confused and i am after suggestions as to why this could occur.

Does anyone know a 'normal' voltage or resistance for the AAC Valve? (as i beleive this is the source of the problem).

Also, when the fan (ie ac) is turned on, the idle drops from 1900 (way too high, but high enough for it not to hunt,) to about 1100 rpm. This is what leads me to beleive that it is the AAC Valve.

I have adjusted the idle, both at the AAC valve and the ecu, and it still idles way too high/ hunts.

Short of replacing all involved components (and my life savings at a local nissan dealership) what other suggestions do you have?

BTW, I have already searched, and the most common problems (TPS, AFM, AAC Valve etc) were dealt with

unplug the aac valve and see if the idle stabilizes. If it stalls adjust the idle screw until it will idle. Check for vacuum leaks (insert usual atmo bov/loose spring question here).

You could just have a faulty aac valve. By disconnecting power it cannot increase or reduce the amount of air the engine can breath. If the idle still hunts then it's something else, if it stabilizes then it's the valve.

Stepper motors can have over 200 different positions... but O.T.

This is about the AAC Valve (I think,) I had a good look at that thread, and most inoformation was useful, but didn't solve the problem. What other reasons coudl there be for a unusually high idle?

All Nissan's use PWM 2 wire idle valves not stepper motors.

RB20s often size the cold idle valve open (Bimetal spring controled) and idle fast causing the over run fuel cut to hunt.Block this of and see if it stops the problem.This is not the idle speed valve remember but the warmup valve.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
