I have a problem with my air con, it only blows out cold air when set at 18 degress. As soon as you adjust the temperature to 18.5 or above it changes to the heater setting. It stops blowing out cold air and starts to blow out warm air.

Has any one had this problem before? know what is causing it? or knows how to help? :action-smiley-069:

Ok....hope this helps...I had the exact same problem..cold air at 18...then when 18.5 or 19 onwards it gets warm air...never really bothered me...until one day...was looking into my front bar...underneath the rego plates...there was a plug that was UNPLUGGED...didn't really know what it was but plugged it back to a socket around the same area...and what do u know....a/c climate control works fine now! It also used to automatically change the blowing mode all by itself...but after plugging tht plug back in...everything has been fine! Try it out and see if tht plug is unplugged...

no idea....cleaned plug and also cleaned temp sensor in dash with compressed air it was dusty as.... still not working properly...... on the top of the dash what is that sensor for.....??? circle looks like a solar panel on passenger side?

thanks for that ran diagnostic test... in the temp display screen ambient sensor showed 19.5'c, in vehicle sensor showed 30'c and intake air temp sensor showed 17'c. so am i right in saying in vehicle sensor is not working as it was definatly not that hot? is this sensor the one to the left bottom of the steering wheel???

when the alarm was being installed i noticed black plastic tube no wires, asked installer what it was, he advised thats for climate control and plugged it back in...he advised he didnt unplug it. is that all it is or is there actual wire connector???? thanks in advance if anyone can confirm this! also got a flashlight and shined it into little grill.... there nothing there besides a small metal wire and round plastic surround... maybe there is no sensor in there already!

hi ppl today had some time removed lower dash and plastic face around dials, plastic tube was plugged in however wire connector was not... this most likely was left disconnected when i had tacho problems and took it back to car yard.... they just left it disconnected......... thanks 666dan & n15mo for helping out that aircon diagnostic tool is cool! alll back to normal now.......

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
