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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
