That's your AACV....car ain't going to idle or run without it....it should be mounted properly and hoses clamped on tight....very hard to beleive it just fell out.

Hopefully it was just another spare part laying around in the engine bay....

It mounts on your intake plenum around cylinders four and five, just below the throttle body.

That's your Air Reg.(cold start fast idle valve)

Car will run fine without it PROVIDED the air hoses are re-connected properly.

Otherwise you'll have a huge air leak and she won't go.

My guess is it's been by-passed previously (aftermarket plenum perhaps) and finally decided to fall off.

It could be blocked off in the past and hence not affecting the engine. If that "were" to fall out, you'll have massive misfires, idle problems as it loops into the plenum.

Those usually fail all the time on RB20DETs and mechanics just block them off.

wait stop everything

u can block them off?

Correct, that's what mechanics so. Problem is sometimes on very cold days you might find you will need to slightly press down the accelerator to get the car to start.

The hose comes off the cross over pipe, into the AAC and back up into the plenum/TB. I've found out on several RB20s (including my previous car) that it was blocked off with a bolt.

Problem is when these AAC fail, no matter what you do, the idle is quite high. People often mistaken this for the IAC valve, spend hours adjusting idle, etc.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
