K trying to troubleshoot this issue. When I turn my AC on, compressor kicks in, blower works, fan turns on, everything works fine. Only thing is that my Idle isnt bumping up like its supposed to. I got a PFC and did a sensor check, doesnt seem to be seeing the signal that the AC is on. I'm trying to understand how the ECU is supposed to see this signal. Is it a seperate signal thats coming from the back of the AC Controller or is it tied into the system?

This is on a S14 chassis by the way...

under the "Idle/Rev" function you can set the idle of what you want when the A/C is turned on.

Did you set that?

Yup, I already maxed that out, didnt make a difference. Like I said, I checked the sensor check and the AC isnt highlighted.

on the s13, the ecu supplies ground to ficd and a/c relay supplies positive to ficd. the ground from ecu can be interrupted by an ambient switch. i would confirm that the ficd is not getting the ground. the fsm might say how ecu decides to send ground.

if your running an s14sr zenki harness pin number 9 on the ecu needs to see the signal from the triple presure switch.

Check the following
Pin #9 on the ecu
Pin #25 on the white plug
essentailly these correspond to each other. it should be a green/yellow wire.

Note: as stated above check the fsm manual and trace the wire.

Imma give it shot, shits a lil tricky for me. Running a hacked up S15 wiring harness/PFC on an S14 zenki chassis.

Right now, Im getting inputs of jumping the ECU all together since all I really need is a signal to the IACV. I was told the IACV gets a 5V input signal to open up for the AC. If its true, anybody know which wire needs the signal? There are 2 plugs going into the IACV.

Let the ECU figure out what to do with the IACV - opening it all the way when the AC is on might not be the best answer.

Check the pins that Jorge posted first, that could be an easy fix.

Dont happen to know what voltage I should be seeing do you? Fuck I swear, when I tear this car down in less than 2 years, Im gonna go get a brand spanking new wiring harness...
