hey my climate control in my r33 hot and cold adjustment doesnt seem to be working anymore... :|

it did use to work.. lol

it seem to blowing hot air all the time even when set to 18 degrees

it still blows hot air with a/c on and with changing the fan speed.

any ideas were to start?

hose has come off behind the dash or the plug fell out. To the left of the steering where theres a little vent on the dash, theres rubber hose that connects to it and a small plug with a resitor in the end of it. The AC uses this to work out what tempreature it is inside the cabin. without it it just defaults to full hot.

Pull your dash out and check that there both pluged in.

but i havent touch or pulled anythin out of the dash....

so i dont c how it came out or undone.. :blink:

i noticed last nite, i turn it the air on straight away..and set it to 18 degree,

and even after my temperature went to normal,

and i adjust the the temp to 32 degrees it felt lik 18 degree still...

so i actually think that the hot/cold buttons...

well what that goes to is jamming and is not working properly....

is ther a servo/motor that i can check out, and if so wer is it? lol

i found this...of another topic..

"Given you just had work done done on the car I'd say the ambient sensor is unpluged ( it should be the little black lump next to the horns, behind front bumper).

Like GTScotT said its a common thing, mechanic forgets sensor, A/C thinks the outside temp is -40C or something and fires up the heater 4 ya

There are 2 other sensors, one at the back of the dash ,left side (sunLoad) and one just to the left of the steering columb (interior temp).

Any of these left unpluged/faulty will screw up ya AirCon (usually with the heat your gettn) "

"have a search on SAU for heater threads you should find plenty of info on the heater. being a 33 owner I'm not familiar with the 34 BUT if ya stick ya head under the glove box and hit the 'recircualte air' button, you should see a 'rod and lever' arangement mo0ving, thats the cowl door. Same goes 4 the heater cores tap, change the temp and something will move to direct the water flow.

like I said though do a search. I'm sure I've seen full removal guides and all. "

did you look at the ambient air temp sensor? or the cabin air temp sensor?

Check these, doesnt matter if you havent been doing anything to those areas, things happen, wires come loose or go bad. Just check.

Search for Air-Con diagnostic mode. Its on here some where but im lazy to find it. You hold down a button when you turn the ignition on and you can see which sensors etc arnt working

Otherwise check the hot/cold blend servo to see if its stuck or broken.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
