Hey guys

I have a RB20DET Cefiro and after many months of trouble free motoring have experienced a Idle Problem getting worse and worse.

I have read every tutorial on this website but nothing works.

I have replaced plugs, replaced vac hose, cleaned out the AAC valve etc etc.

Car Hunts for Idle now and almost/pretty much stalls when warm. Idles good on Cold start. When I disconnect the TPS the cars revs pick up to about 1200 RPM and sit steady, The Idle adjustment Screw is turned in completely. The moment I put the TPS plug back in, revs drop and it hunts and almost stalls.

Now, unlike 32 or 33s, Ceffys Have only one single plug going into the AAC valve SOLENOID. I read that if you discconect this and the car stops theres a problem with the AAC valve. My car dies as soon as I pull this.

Thats about as much as know, I dont know what it is, how to check anything else or what parts to replace. Car drives fine under power, it just cannot idle.

Thanks in advance guys hope you can be of some help!

there is also an IAC valve under the plenum that may be causing the issue you are having.

otherwise check the o2 sensor, the rocker cover breather hoses and the PCV valve and grommet.

I replaced the o2 sensor myself recently, rocker cover hoses ok.

Where exactly is this IAC valve, what does it do? Where is the PCV valve and grommet.

thanks

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
