Hey guys

This has been bothering me for a while, but coming into summer, I'd like to get it ironed out.

Not always, but quite frequently when i drive, HOT air seems to pour out of the small hoses located above your feet behind the dash. (Basically if you've got your left foot on the foot rest or clutch, its going to get warm fast).

The problem only occurs when the a/c is off, and if i turn it on, it seems to stop. Had a passanger yesterday that wasn't too impressed when her shoes nearly caught fire!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Does it happen when the climate control is on or off? When I had the CC off completely I would get hot air coming through but if I turned it on(without A/C) it would try to keep it at whatever temp was set-no more melty feet for me :)

Check the sensors.

Do the air-con diagnostic and it will tell you if something is wrong.

Most likely the outside air temp sensor is fux0red.

Thanks for that mate, how do you actually run the diagnostic?

I've actually got this problem too. Only started to notice it after I'd taken my car in to get tuned, so naturally I thought they must have done something wrong. Thanks for the solution guys! (He he, shoes catching on fire, not good!)

"Mmmm, unexplained bacon."

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
