hey mate had the same problem but it wouldnt go cold. ended up being an auto-elec problem in which one of the pins became disconnected. this pin gives power to the motor which moves the flap that controlls how much hot/cold air goes through the system. it may be stuck on cold... this is what was wrong with mine may be the same 4 you.

i dont think its a gas problem, usually the air doesnt go cold when that happens it stays hot

goodluck

Yeah, where abouts are those pins located? are they in the climate control unit itself or at the back of it or under the bonnet or anywhere else? cheers

has it ever worked since you bought the car?

also check the passenger side firewall for a couple of brown plastic tubes poking out without any hoses on them.

What does this mean if they aren't connected? or should they be? :s

Thanks guys.

if they arent connected, it means your heater core has ruptured and the last owner bypassed the heater core to be able to keep driving the car. but you didnt answer my other questions, so its hard to tell if you dont help us help you.

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but I've got hot air coming from the footwell ducts and cannot work out how to turn them off. Its' like the heater is on all the time.

tried pressing the re-circulation button?

If you're talking about turning them off completely when the fan/aircon is off.. then you can press the recirculate button (set so it recirculates air rather than drawing in new air, i think..) and then turn the system off. Should stop air coming in completely..

if you have a difital camera, take a photo of the rear passenger side of the motor and the firewall behind it ( photo from front of car)

that will show if its bypassed.

Yes, thanks I'm talking about when the fan/aircon/climate control is off. Will give it a go.....

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
