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???

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.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
