cheg Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hey I need a little help, my air idle control just went out in my 76 280z and I was wondering if a air idle control would work from a zx motor, the ohms on the old idle control are said to be 60 ohms, and the new one says 75, would it work if i just hooked up the air idle control from a zx motor?

Edz280zx Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 What year ZX motor? Either way, and I could be wrong here, it should work fine. Shouldn't hurt to try it tho.......btw..when did you get a Z??? Quote Link to comment
cheg Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hey edz that was my brother that accidental didn't sign me out =P I wish I had a Z Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 What year ZX motor? its off my 81 turbo, it should work fine since your going up in resistance, its when you dont have enough that things get roasted. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The air idle control is for cold starting. In some cases it's warm enough to run without it. Quote Link to comment

I just eliminated mine lol (and gave it to cody), it makes the intake mani look even more cluttered and all it dose is raise your RPMs when its cold. Quote Link to comment
cheg Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 The reason my brother wants it is because it doesn't die when it's idling and it doesnt help that he has an electric fan instead of a mechanical fan and it wastes the battery so we only have enough battery to fucking turn it over once or we have to compression start it :blink: not something that's fun right before school haha Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Find a mid '80 200sx with CA20 engine. There is an inline temp switch for the rad fan in the lower hose. All you have to do is slice your hose in half and insert inline. Run these two wires to a relay that feeds power to the fan. Only time the fan will come on after that is sitting idling for long periods. Quote Link to comment
codycheg Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Ya man thanks for giving it to me:thumbup:. I'm going to put it on tomorow and see if it works, if not man its all good, you need it? Quote Link to comment

hughdogz Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hey I need a little help, my air idle control just went out in my 76 280z and I was wondering if a air idle control would work from a zx motor, the ohms on the old idle control are said to be 60 ohms, and the new one says 75, would it work if i just hooked up the air idle control from a zx motor? So did it work? I think it should work just fine... It shouldn't matter exactly which year it is from, since it has nothing to do with the computer. There a little gate valve in there that closes as the voltage is applied. It may take a couple of minutes for it to close. By that time, your engine should be warm enough you don't need the extra air for high idle. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I grabbed one off a 280z while I was at the JY just to make sure Quote Link to comment
