Looking to get my A/C running again in my R32 GTR but are having some issues and was hoping if people could point me in the right direction :)

I think my Compressor is on its way out as currently with the 10Amp fuse, the compressor won't engage when I turn on the A/C and the 10Amp fuse blows instantly. However if I run a larger fuse, say 15Amp or 20Amp, the compressor will run and the fuse doesn't blow, however I am not too keen on using this solution as I feel its sorta asking for trouble.

Do people generally just look to replacing their compressors in R32 GTRs or get them overhauled? is my problem common, if so how have people gone about resolving?

I have the same problem on my car. Gassed up, fans engage but compressor keeps blowing fuses (compressor shorting out internally?).

I have a spare compressor from my GTS-t wreck, still haven't put it in yet (no time, looks like a big effort to replace).

Disconnect plug at compressor and see if it still blows fuses.

Replacing the compressor isn't a 5 minute job

I've tried this and the fuse still blows :(

10Amp is the standard fuse, it's been awhile since ive tried, but I think the only fuse it wasn't blowing was the 20Amp and thats why I wasn't too keen to keep running it with the 20Amp fuse in there.

Could be the magnetic clutch solenoid insulation crapping out. Use a multimeter to check its resistance. The spec is 3.5 ohms If its much less than that it will pull too much current and blow the fuse.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
