Typical Rb20det Idle Issues But With A Twist!

Hey guys and girls,

I've been having issues with my R32 RB20DET idling high at about 1100 - 1500.

Car runs fine just idles high. I have done some research and noticed this is a common problem and is usually fixed by cleaning the aac or replacing it.

I have changed the aac twice with both times cleaning them. No fix.

I have tried fiddling with the idle screw. No fix.

I have checked for air leaks. No finds.

I have changed the cold air regulator. No fix.

Note: When idling if I disconnect the aac plug the car just dies.

Any help would be appreciated.

ECU temp sensor stuffed? How does the car run, is it running rich?

TPS set correctly (0.44v at closed throttle)?

Which AAC plug are you talking about, the plug going into the valve should not make the engine stall. On a 25de to set idle speed, I have to disconnect the brown (valve) plug.

A small leak is all it takes...

Now you mention it, it's running really rich. Car runs good but rich. How does the ecu temp sensor affect that? And where is it?

Tps is set correc.

when I disconnect the brown plug on the aac it dies.

The TPS has 2 components - a SENSOR and a SWITCH. The switch tells the ECU that the throttle is closed, and it is for situations like when the throttle closes during (manual) gear changes.

If the switch is not set correctly, then it can cause the ECU to maintain a high idle speed because it thinks the throttle is open.

Resistance between pins 1 & 2 on the TPS should be 0 ohms at "throttle closed".

This might sound like common sense, but have you tried moving the tps? how you tilt it a bit and notice your rev's change? i had the same problem with mine for a while and i just kept tilting the tps and playing with that little screw valve on top of it and it eventually got it to sit on 900

Mostly correct but it wont show 0 ohms at closed throttle. Probably be 12 ohms or so. Sensors usually work between .5v and 4.5v and anything outside that is out of range. This is how computers work out something is wrong with the sensor. 0 ohms is considered to low resistance and will log something like sensor voltage high etc

Not trying to be critical of your post. Just adding something

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
