R32 Rb20det Problems

Gday guys,

I got an rb20det in an r32 that is giving me a problem.

At idle it is surging between stall before it rises to normal idle at 700 and does this continually and sometimes stalls, this has became ever increasingly annoying in town driving as it stalls when you put the clutch in and while its in nuetral.

If we disconnect a vaccumn line and let it suck straight air it returns to a normalish-high idling range but with no surging.

ECU shows of no error codes.

Driving me insane, anyone got any ideas?

Regards

Stan

Hi dude,

We had that problem too. The problem is a faulty Idle Air Control valve (I think that's what it is called). Ours was stuck half closed or something.

Clean it, and try again. If that fails the solenoid inside will be broken and you'll need a replacement like us.

Its the Auxilliary Air Control valve (AAC) that you want - hangs off the back of the plenum.

It's been the cause of thousands of threads.

yeah and 9 times out of 10 its the IAC valve thats down near the fuel rail thats the cause of the prob. i had the exact same prob, followed by a consistant high idle, so i cleaned the AAC valve which did SFA, so i just blocked off the IAC valve and now it idles at a smooth 900 rpm, cause i couldnt be bothered fixing the damn thing thats so hard to get to

IAC gives a constant high idle speed, the AAC valve gives a "hunting" idle speed.

tazr32 has "hunting", so it's more likely a problem of a dirty AAC valve.

(On a 32, the IAC valve is the one underneath the throttle body. On a 33, it is under the inlet plenum. The AAC valve hangs off the back of the inlet plenum on both models)

I think I might have a dirty AAC valve because my car wont idle. It drives fine but when you come to a stop it idles for a second before dropping out and stalling. When I restart it idles fine, but once I start driving again the first time I stop the idle just drops and conks out again. Does this sound like a dirty aac valve problem? To clean the aac valve do you use carby cleaner?

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
