hey ppls

for the last few months when my cars idling on a cold start it sits at like 600rpm.. if you start to drive or just touch the throttle it revs fine but then drops to about 300-400 then back to 600. after about 2 mins when the temp gauge has moved up about half a cm its fine and the revs sit on 750rpm or so and dont bounce around.

hmm come to think of it when the car is cold shouldnt it sit on like 1000-1200rpm or something higher like that ? anyways i had the bouncing idle problem (but when the car was warm, not cold) a while ago and i cleaned the aac valve and that fixed that up, but im not to sure what to try clean now.. ? I was searching and theres some cold start valve or something ?? where abouts is that ?? is that the same as the air regulator ?? i had a look in the workshop manual, i couldnt see it on my actual car though.. anyone got any pics or any other ideas what it might be ??

thanks :whistling:

i started the car just now to have a look. I drove about an hour ago so the car is still hot, but the needle is about 0.8cm above the bottom and the pfc rekons its about 63degrees. The middle which it always sits on after about 5 mins of driving is about 84..85 degrees so i think thats working fine like it always has.

but ya the idle is fine now cause the car is already warmed up a little bit..

Have you had the PFC programmed / tuned for "cold start"? Maybe it needs a bit more fuel or timing when it's cold.

BTW, I don't see anything in your initial post that mentions you have a PFC - such information would be most useful.

I've got the same sorta problem, wheres acc valve, u said before...

"a while ago and i cleaned the aac valve and that fixed that up"?

I also have the pfc but even when my car warms up i still got the problem not really bouncing but drops low and sometimes stalls, but if i ease the clutch in its ok as apose to "stomping it in" when im rolling up to lights, driveways etc but the revs are sometimes ok and sometimes low...

ya i found the little barstard the other day.. looks impossible to get out though, all i can see is like 1 bolt :P

it could be the iac valve. the aac valve is what always gets cleaned. the iac is down under the intake plenum. (i think thats why not many people clean it) from what i know of it, it controls the idle air for cold start.

Yeah does sound like AAC Valve, it bleeds more air into the secondary air system to bring up the revs when cold. Have to get it apart and clean it out. Also inspect the tension of the spring.

You can't (and don't need to) clean the IAC (Cold Start Air) valve. It is not operated by a servo-motor, as the AAC (Auxilliary Air Control) valve is. It is a simple bi-metallic strip, heated by electric current - as it warms up, it causes a plate to cover the air bleed hole.

If it has any sort of problem, it may be that it is not fully uncovering the hole when it cools.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
