Phillips head screwdriver. You just need to get one the right length.

the one in the picture is the old one i replaced and it was pretty tight wouldnt budge at all. But ill give it another go.

Remove the aac?

Its a pretty big job to remove the plenum to be able to get to the acc and remove that.

Besides i think it needs to be adjusted on the car so you can monitor the idle

You can get 90deg screwdrivers from repco/bunnings etc, might make it easier

thanks mate ill give that a go.

on my r33 intake I just simply put a screwdriver in it and turned it, what car/engine are you using ?

Is it a gtr rolls? because im running the rb26.

Guys just on O2 sensors - you don't really need em.

I drove to Syd & back with 340rwkw, 700kms to a tank and that was using no O2 sensors (just stayed off boost).

It's all in the tune for that type of thing (RE: O2/economy) and they certainly aren't required.

I took off my aac yesterday because it originally wasnt plugged in and when connected i was having high idle problems and the screw was stuck aswell.

This is in an r32gtr, there are 4 bolts holding the aac to the main body, all of them are fairly accesible and didnt require the intake plenum to be taken off. I was able to reach the bolts with a 10 or 12mm socket and have enough room to swing the ratchet. Taking off the attached line is a little harder as there's not much room and the clip can be a bitch to get a hold of.

From here i just put the body in a vice and used a phillips head attachment in my cordless drill with a high torque setting to slowly crack it.

In the end i ended up having the screw in most of the way anyway and found out that my pfc idle settings were set pretty high so i had a play with them and seems alot better but still not perfect (when i take my foot off the accelerator it drops down to 12000rpm and then slowly drops to 900rpm or so).

Spray some Wd40 on it first....The rubber seal locks it in there pretty good.... And you wont damage the rubber

Thanks mate I'll give it a go

What settings did you change exactly mate on the PFC?

Under SETTINGS --> REV/IDLE

F/C A/C - : changed to 1100 or so

Idle A/C - : changed to 890 or so

The other options are to do with when you have the air-con on, which i never do anyway so didnt really bother with them.

unplug the IAC if it doesnt drop then pull it off and undo the 4 screws - i had hunting and high idle issues for a very long time and finally decided to pull the thing apart

turns out the tensioner spring inside the valve had broken, replaced it and perfect idle first start.

I'd even argue you will get better economy without the O2 sensor if tuned appropriately as you can tune leaner than stoich.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
