yeah thats like me irratic idle when conected

as for getting it off i almost striped the screw (stupid screws all should be bolts) but stoped before i stripped the head so im with you how do you get it off????

are there any tricks of the trade?

and as soon as the son of a biatch comes out im replacing them with hex bolts that will teach them

also i spoke to a auto elect round the corner he said it will be fine to drive without it conected the only thing its for is Air Con Ect....

also the only effect is that fuel economy will suffer (in his words "by a bees dick thats all") so all is good ill leave it disconnected cuz i dont have AIR CON and like i care bout economy i moddifyied it for a reason to go hard not to ***** foot around and cry bout fuel prices

cheers

AFAIK, they ARE bolts. And they're usually not done up all that tight.

It should be easy enough to remove the AAC, strip it down, clean it up, re-assemble and re-install.

gotta agree with blind_elk

4 bolts, in the back, whole unit comes out, clean it all out, sometimes the spring can move around inside, you can flick the resin out end, and unscrew the the brass nut in there, to remove the spring , i pulled mine out retenstioned it a little, and reset it, seal the cap with sickaflex or araldite or so

ohhh was going to pull just the cylinder shaped part off where there is only screw bolts holding it on so if i pull the whole unit off do i need to get a gasket or can i use just gasket paper to make a new one?

pull off the AAC valve (the four bolts 10mm socket) there will be a gasket there all should come off without breaking the gasket, once off get some carby cleaner or brake cleaner and spray into any visible holes try to seal some off with your fingers adn shake it round.

What you are trying to do is free up the plunger that has been jamed in carbon and oil and all the other shit that enters the inlet

then replace

but this did not work for me i think i have a prob in the wiriing which is holdinig it open but i dont know just disconnected it then set the base idle

cuz thats what the service manual says for setting idle

Pull off conector to AAC valve then turn screw to set idle!!

Cheers mate, greatly appreciated. Yeh I read the bit about adjusting the base idle with the AAC wiring off, but it did nothing, I think it must be too full of crap inside so I will clean it tonight and hopefully I will get a regular idle of 600 instead the 1500-2000-3000 I have had lately. I will let you guys know how it goes.
