quick question

[RagingPanda]

My car idles at 2000rpm after warm up even though I cleaned out the AAC and FIDC already. I need to replace both the AAC and FIDC, but i don't know what's the names on the KA. I think AAC is IACV for the KA but what about the FIDC?

It's neither one of those. It's the air regulator below the throttle body. It's the one that is connected to the large diameter hose on the engine side of the plenum right behind the Throttle body. Sometimes you can clean it up and get it working. You'll want to soak it in something though.

i freaking had it with this idling problem! I will just take out the air regulator and just use a longer hose to connect the T section to the intake manifold. I plan to eliminate the whole AAC assembl. how do you guys do it? Cut a metal plate and bolt it against the intake manifold?

I've wondered about this also. I dont know why they have an adjustable throttle stop screw if its not to set the idle with. I dont think there would be any problems eleminating the whole assembly with a metal plate and some RTV to seal it up, then using that stop screw to open up the throttle a slight amount.

This can, and has been done, but if you're in a cold climate, you're still going to need a fast idle of some sort. Also, if you move the throttle stop screw, you've got to re-adjust the TPS.

TPS? anyone knows on top of their head which page is it on in the FSM?Also, if you remove the whole assembly, what do you do with the hose connected to it? Just plug up the other end?
