Hey guys,

heard this term thrown around a lot in regards to idle control. What is it? Where is it and do you think cleaning it will help my cold start idle up because at the moment the car struggles to idle up when cold, I have to give it a hand with the pedal....

sorry for a rather crappy thread but I did search first......

cheers!

cool i wanted to know about this aswell cause i had a dodgy idle regardless of cold or warm the engine would spike idle to 1500rpm.

it has gone away since i changed the sparkies, engine temp sensor and thermostat but i got told to check this out aswell.

can i ask another abbreviation question.

what is the AFM???

cause i got told to clean this thing aswell. i did a search but nothing came through i don't know if the search this has been disabled or something cause its been going on the last couple days.

hey guys,

finally got around to doing this........ I think.... Are you meant to take off the little brass cloured thing with the plug or the actual metal part with 4 bolts holding it and a gasket? I wasn't sure so decided to take off the brass part and in the process nearly lost the little spring!! It looked perfect so I blasted some CC down the hole where it goes into the metal thing.

seems a little better, do I need to take the other part off to do it properly? Will that gasket need to be replaced or will it be okay?

cheers!

The AAC can only control rpm within a limited rpm range, more like fine tuning.

Most of the additional air the engine needs during warm up is supplied by the air regulator.

It's mounted under the throttle body on the inlet runners.

It has a hose in from before TB and a hose out to the inlet manifold as well as an electric plug and it allows air to bypass the throttle body during warm up.

If it sticks open you get a fast idle but if it sticks closed it'll have a slow idle or stall when it's cold.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
