Check the air reg down where the injectors are.That may be dirty inside aswell.There is 2 10mm bolts holding it down and 2 fat hose's each side.

It still idles high even when I disconnect it... I admit it does drop, but not a lot and it still idles way too high and now this hunting thing is driving me mad, I will sit at the lights and it will bounce between 1000 and 2000, bloody irritating!!

Okay, I disassembled and reassembled my AAC valve, didnt do anything, Im in the process of putting the Air regulator back in, just waiting for gasket goop to dry. I think this might do the trick as the spring wasnt under any tension which would suggest that the plate couldnt move due to being in the incorrect position. I will post later to confirm If it worked

Well the Air regulator is back in and the car idles around 1000 and stays there, no more hunting for me!! I gotta say it was pretty easy and you can't really go wrong with the internals of the regulator, they only go in one way.. I'm happy with the result.

eXc your guide was how I started out repairing the valve, great one mate. Cheers

i sorted out most of my prob

found that the turbo smart blow off valve is most likely after i dissconnected it i had allmost no drop in idle at all and never stalled

connected it and again after pulling up at light ect.. it would stall and drop really low idle

i opened the bonnet and reved the car and watched the BOV found that it was sucking in air because the valve would not fully shut

so now its disconnected

maybe the rest of the prob is the fuel pump

as silvia pumps operate with a ground swith that at idle it drops the current to the pump so low that it cant operate properly (i have GTR pump)

so on the weekend ill find the earth wire from the pump and run my own bigger gauge earth to a earth point in the boot

hopefully it fixes the prob or ill have to run a new cable from the switch and new relay also with same gauge wire

hope it works

cheers

timmy c

The air regulator has two bolts holding it to the intake manifiold, get those out and two hoses and connector and your on your way, you can take more hoses off to give yourself more working space as well. eXc's tutorial is good try use that, getting it out was the hardest part. It will require a little patience, but will come out. The screws on the air regulator are tough ones, but I sprayed them with a bit of lubricant and used a quality phillips screwdriver head and just moved it a little at a time, also helps if you push down on the screw to stop it stripping the head, I thought they wouldnt come out, but with a bit of patience(again) they came. If you got anymore questions post away

Good luck mate.

blackrb20silvia let us know how the pump goes

Hey guys,

Took my regulator apart today. Is the spring supposed to hold the rotating thing shut entirely? Mine is half open? It wasn't dirty at all either so maybe its the AAC instead....

I put it all back together and now the idle is high :D its idling at around 1500. Before it was fine, I don't think i've changed anything. Its shit!

Anyone got any ideas?

I played with the water temp correction(wrote down what setting it had first so I could set it back if need be) table and thats why it revs high when cold.I got it idleing at 1000rpm when stone cold but it was rough.

Yeah I fixed the problem, I put in a stronger spring then factory. It idles up fine but now when warm it drops straight down no messing about. :(

It still hasn't fixed my start up issue though. When I start the car in the morning I have to give it some throttle or it sits around 200RPM and coughs and dies.

The guide is good but the pics don't works anymore.!

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
