Bump in idle

bbenny,

Sounds like the AAC valve needs a clean as this basically controls the idle, although in the workshop manual it states that the idle speed, ignition timing,CO and HC density (airflow-meter) are inter-related. Any adjustment to one effects the others and requires an additional inspection.

To clean the AAC valve:

For RB20-25 motor

The AAC valve (Auxilliary Air Control Valve) is located at the back of the plenum chamber (inlet manifold) there is a maroon electrical plug (brittle) and a hose which need to be removed first then there is four ten millimeter bolts that also need to be removed before the whole assembly can be (careful if you want to use the orignal gasket again) removed from the car.

then there is two screws that hold the solenoid on, once this is removed the remaining assembly can be cleaned by useing carby cleaner (compressor to dry and clear any blockages) also make sure that the spring moves(smooth) and the valve works.

Reassemble in reverse order with a bit of sensor safe silicon with the original gasket(or you could make another one it depends on weather the gasket comes off in one piece)

To adjust idle speed From a workshop manual:

The screw that is located on the AAC valve is to control idle speed, But first you need to remove the ECCS control unit(computer) from the passenger side kick panel and there is a screw there that controls idle aswell, now if you can read japanese the writing near the screw says "CAUTION Adjust within indicated range. Do not turn with excessive force" Low idle is at the bottom with high idle at the top and just a little bit past the high idle mark there is self diagnosis. This screw needs to be turned to the low idle mark and the engine warmed then remove the electrical plug from the AAC valve and start engine, Idle should be at 900 rpm, if not turn screw on AAC valve assembly to adjust engine speed to 900 rpm.

Turn screw to the left (counter clock wise) to increase engine idle.

Turn screw to the right (clock wise) to decrease engine idle.

Once the target 900 rpm is achieved plug AAC electrical plug back in and observe if there is any change in Rpm if there is this needs to be adjusted at the ECCS control unit with a maximum of 250 rpm adjustment, another Caution if you turn the screw on the ECCS control unit near the self diagnosis spot it sets the engine speed at the lowest setting Rpm minus 50 rpm.

Sorry for the long and boring post!

MEGA

P.s the AAC valve is located under the plenum on the RB26 and the procedure is the same!

Can also be an airflow problem or your AFM is dirty.

I know after replacing my pod for the stock airbox (with cheap filter), it has less air going in and idles very "lumpy" at the lights. Idle revs jump a bit all over the place as it tries to compensate for the lack of air volume being sucked in.

My slight bump/miss on idle is a dirty injector.

Origionally that is all it was. Now when idling at say 650rpm then stabbing the throttle that car hessitates/slight bump or slight miss then rev's.

Its not really a miss its a half arsed miss. :D

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.

      I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.

      Nah, the OEM CAI pipe is still installed behind the bumper, it is about 5" x 3" oval at the engine side, tapering down to a 3" pipe behind the bumper where it gets all the ambient air it needs Engine side of radiator support OEM intake pipe "oval hole" that is right in front of the filter My OEM NC1 CAI pipe: From NC2 onwards, below pic, they come slightly smaller at 2.75" diameter with corrugations and a resonance chamber to reduce intake noise, lucky for me my NC1 has the bigger noisy one, LOL   Basically, the "sealed" airbox will just get ambient air from a 3" pre filter intake tube that is the same size, 3" as the rest of the intake pipe post filter, and if a 3" intake isn't big enough to flow enough air for 150 killerwasps then there are other issues The whole intake is basically the same length as OEM, but it is now about 30% bigger from the airbox back through to the new intake plenum than OEM, and the intake plenum is port matched to the head And the intake is now about 30% bigger than my 2.5" exhaust, so the suck, squeeze, bang and blow black magic should be fine, well, to my uneducated understanding of fluid dynamics anyway Talking the the guys at MX5 Mania, it may even make a few more killerwasps as the intake isn't sucking hot air, especially off idle or when in slow traffic when it would be sucking hot air  As for the difference in IAT, I haven't logged IAT yet, as I don't currently have a OBD2 reader, but I will have a play with my thermal lazer thingie next time I take the car out to sèe how hot stuff gets under the bonnet near the intake filter prior to installing the air box, my "assumption is it has to be much better after the air box is in and sealed up compared to what it is now The aftermarket "performance" CAI elephant in the room: Aftermarket CAI intakes typically have the air filter tucked up behind the bumper, with a 2.5" intake tube (the OEM intake pipe is actually about 30% bigger than the fancy pants "aftermarket" version.....WTF), and you need to remove the bumper to service the filter, which is a PITA Like dis:

      Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there.

      Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!
