Hey all,

I recently followed the AAC clean tutorial and Air Reg clean tutorial on here and now i've run into some problems!

After completing both and putting everything back in the car i had high idle/reving.

Car was also shaking alot and when i took the car for a drive i had no power and car wouldn't go.

The idle issue has been fixed now but i still have the problem where the car is shaking like a mofo and i suspect a lost cylinder or something along the line.

I only thing i took off and touched was the throttle body, AAC and Air Reg so i can't understand why i would have these issues.

Anyone able to give me some advice?

Thanks.

hey guys,

after some investigating it seems engine/cylinder 6 is not running.

At first when i pulled out spark plug it was wet!

so i swapped over a new spark plug. It fixed it for like 30mins and then i had issues again.

this time i pulled out sparkie it was dry... i checked all other sparks and they are fine as well.

so i did the test where i pull the plug off each coil pack 1 by one and see if engine reacts.

all cylinders react except for #6!

i swapped the coil pack with #1 but its still the same.

so i can rule out spark plug and coil pack. i'm pretty sure i can rule out injector? as it made the spark plug wet the first time?

so what else could be the issue?

any advice on what else i can check would be great!

thanks.

If you have a multimeter, try probing a working cylinder to see what the normal output is to its coil plug, then try 6th coil plug and compare the 2, it might not be getting power/spark/whatever to it

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • 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.
