S1 RB25 in a R32

Low(er) idle with the A/C on and no increase in rpm when turning the steering wheel.  Opposite of normal, right?  

I had the engine cleaned out with a popular product here in Japan called Wakos RECS (Link) the other day and I didn't notice any change in idle conditions on the drive home.  I then promptly took out and cleaned the IACV to hopefully rectify a different idle problem. I removed and cleaned the cold start air regulator as well. Only, after putting it all back together did I notice the aforementioned A/C and power steering idle problem.  I cleaned the MAF today and reset the ECU and that didn't help.  No ECU codes are shown.  Stock ECU by the way. 

It idles around 1000 and with A/C it dips down to maybe 550 and then up to 650ish.  Fiddling with the screw on the IACV doesn't seem to change the idle rpm very much.  

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks, Rory

Definitely plugged it back in properly. I just went out to readjust the idle properly (didn't disconnect the iacv before while doing it), but that didn't fix the problem. 

Idles at 900, A/C goes to 600 and then not so slowly up to almost 800.  It IS working, just not properly.

Its been a while with no changes being made on my part.  Anyone have any new ideas?  When I removed the iacv the gasket bent/ripped a little bit.  Think a small leak there would cause this problem? I ordered a new one, but still seems like it wouldn't cause this.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
