Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[dontyellpl0x]

Clean aac valve as it is far easier, however if that fails the actual cold start valve under the plenum may need cleaning. It is painful to get too hence trying aac first. What's your idle rpm?

Ah ok cheers. PFC says 850

Righto mines sitting at 700rpm. Nothing wrong with higher rpm besides frivolous difference in fuel consumption. Plenty of good diy for aac cleaning on here

[Manuel Kasko]

Haha mine has been idling at like 1400 for the past 2 years. Tried to adjust and just gave up

have you adjusted the aac valve the recessed srew on the left side of the plenum, or just the tb screw?

SkyWagon's New O2 sensor arrived today so I Installed it and reset the ECU.

Also gave her a new Phat earth wire from the block to Chassis. (original from exhaust manifold was removed when the extractors went on)

Got the High Beams working properly too. (2 out of the 4 bulbs weren't lighting up which I didn't realise)

Both and also played with the TPS.

I think it's caused by a faulty TPS but I could never be bothered trying to work it out.

Ah k fair enough. Yeah I'm pretty sure if I disconnect one of the plugs to the top its will idle about 1400

[Manuel Kasko]

When I get back I might chuck a new TPS on and see what happens.

New Coolant temp sensor, cleaned the terminals in the Dizzy and found 2 leads weren't attached to the spark plugs properly.

[Sinista32]

most now days wouldn't know about a distributor

[zebra]

Twist until it pings then back it off a touch...

Ahhhh the old days

[Got a Pulsar]

Old is New Again. (well at least for me)

Looking at getting a Reco'd Dizzy second hand as mine has a nice grinding going on at a certain RPM.
So Cap, Rotor Button, CAS and Bearing should be fresh-ish.

Just drove to the shops and back, seems alot smoother and more powaaah!

Might do the KLG plugs and new leads real soon.

[dontyellpl0x]

Drove her to Bathurst. Not a bad a drive for most of the way

Staying at the track tonight with my dad. Not a bad view

[Sinista32]

stalled it ?

[Got a Pulsar]

Great Pic Chris!

Not a bad drive over that way. (Done Orange but not Bathurst)

[dontyellpl0x]

Yeah traffic was pretty quiet too, which was expected with it being a week day.

Spotted a 33 4door doing laps as we pulled in

We will just check out the motor racing museum tomorrow then head back home

Sandblasted my cam cover and fuel rail

clean ready for powder coating

[B-rice]

ohhh 5hiv just be careful where the tolerances may change due to heat or the thickness of the paint specially on the injector seals. It would suck to see them pissing through that part.
