hi guys

got a strange problem with avc-r

for some reason the solanoid dosen't engage anymore

Ussually I will hear a click sound when the boost setting is changed from A to b

All the other sensor seem to still be working (duty ,revs ,kms,etc)

But no boost

it stopped working while it was on a dyno run ,

the mechanic found some pretty eratic spiking going,so i guess im lucky it happened on the dyno

so he set the boost to run of the actuator so i guess its pretty much running standard

I am not 100% sure how to test or where to start ,has anyone had the same problem or

Any idea why this may of happened

Perhaps check the actual tubing? I've never had an EBC but I thought there was some issue there if you didn't mount it close enough to something else it would spike up?

Also it may be worth testing the actual solenoid - now I'm not sure how much current it's expecting (i would imagine 12v) but if you're mechanically/electronically minded you could always try to set off the solenoid itself with an electrical feed like a battery - just to see if it clicks over. If it doesn't solenoid is busted.

*insert disclaimer here: never owned an ebc could be totally in the wrong*

    • Yes, I had ordered the spherical bushings at the same time as the rest. I have high hopes for the anti squat reduction kit. 
    • Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.
    • The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.
    • Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
