R34 GT IACV not getting 12v

Hey All,

My car is idling a bit high when warmed up and seems to be stuck in "cold mode". (bad fuel economy) I noticed when my car is set to ON position, the IACV/AAC valve is getting less than 12v. Seems like there is maybe something wrong with the circuit. 

I'd like to see what happens to the AAC valve when it's getting all 12v when the car is running. I'm a bit of a noob at electrical, how would i go about doing that?

Is it as easy as running a wire from the +ve end of the battery to the +ve end of the valve, and then running another wire from the -ve end of the valve, back to the -ve end of the battery, and then starting the car?

 

I don't really wanna fry anything, so thought i would double check by asking here.

 

Thanks!

Hmm okay, good think I checked.

@GTSBoy I guess I'll test the circuit the old fashioned way with a multimeter. Ill trace from the ECU to the fuse and then from the fuse to the IACV. Do you know what fuse #14 would be on this diagram? I assume it is the 14th fuse counting from left to right, top to bottom on the kick panel fuse box.

Nah, that's not how the fuses are identified. If you look, for example, just above fuse 14 on the wiring diagram, you will see the 15A fuse for the fuel pump. That's identified as fuse #1, but it is not the top left fuse in the panel. It's the top right.

Now, I've never thought about which fuse is which by number/order in the panel. Just used the identification of what it does to find it. In this case, it is clearly one of the IGN fuses, so that excludes all the other fuses in the panel. It also directly powers all those other devices, most of which are just pain 12V switched outputs on the ECU. So if you go to the purge solenoid, or the swirl valve solenoid for the inlet manifold switching, you should find 12V there.

You will also find 12V at the IACV, but only if measured direct to ground, not across the solenoid, because the ECU causes the IACV position to be set by PWMing the earth connection through the ECU.

I don't know the R34 fuse box at all. If I had to guess, I'd suggest that you're likely to be looking at one of the fuses labelled "ENG A/T CONTROL". Also, it might be possible that the fuse you're looking for is in the engine bay fuse box, although I wouldn't expect so.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
