Did Aac Clean And Idle Reset, Still Not Fixed?

[skyliner1]

Hi,

did the aac valve clean and reset idle, but still havin a few probs.

the stalling at lights has now all but gone, so result there.

but the idle still hunts, between say 700 rpm and 800rpm? according to the power fc hand commander

seems worse when lights are on.

is this hunting worse with other owners cars, or about the same and i've not fixed the problem?

does anyone have any ideas?

all help greatly appreciated and will mean less dents in car

thanks for looking

I think it is quite normal that the idle will vary slightly. It's not really noticeable when watching the tacho, but when you see numbers changing, then it becomes obvious.

The fact that it is worse when the lights are on - which means the engine is under more load trying to drive the alternator - suggests a possible problem with an aging battery.

Thanks, i have been thinking perhaps battery or alternator, just dont wanna go spending a load of cash on bits that are ok, battery has been in car for the three yrs i've had it, so maybe time to change?

also have hks turbo timer fitted which reads voltage, seems to vary quickly (3 times a second or more) between 14.2 volts and 13.78 ish, would this point to a duff battery?

thanks again for the info m8

3 years is a decent time for a battery. sounds like you need a new one.

Is it just when its cold? Ive heard unless its really well/extensively tuned, alot of cars with PFCs have a poor cold idle which is one of the reasons why people wish to retain original ecu and have it chipped (to keep cold tune) or add a piggyback
