What is an FIC valve? Why have I been playing with SRs for 8yrs and just now hearing about this?

also how difficult is it to take off the intake manifold?

i took it to a mechanic who said the leak was in the thermostat base housing and top housing so i replaced both of them but then when i started it up it was still leaking just as bad so i got some mirrors in there and saw it was this heater hose (i did the thermo from the front of the engine).

any tips would be greatly appreciated.

oh btw its a 1998 s14 200sx sr20.
It's not difficult at all to remove the intake- but tedious lol. Just nuts, bolts & hoses. Take your time and you will be fine. As far as the steel heater line; you may luck out at a junk yard, or try to source it out from a Nissan dealer. Or, if it's cracked, you can have it welded. When you remove the intake, make sure to use the correct toque spec/order per the FSM; and put it back together with a new gasket(s) to ensure it won't leak when all said & done.

^^That's a pretty cool idea! Never seen that done before; but that is a VERY good all around location for that port~

cheers mate thanks for that.

im going to pull the intake off and have a look, from all my searching online i havn't heard of one case where the hardline has been at fault, rather several where the little heater hoses have, so ill pull it down and see whats going on.

Why would you not post this under tech section or search for it.....

Here is a thread I did as well with HPS 4 ply silicone (some of the best on the market) and Summit Racing Steel braided fuel lines...

FIC is the Fast Idle Control Valve....Its part of the IACV. You have two solenoids on the idle air control assembly one is a heftier round motor that usually takes the brown connector (the IACV motor), then you have the other that is taller and thinner and usually takes a purple connector (FIC) That is what bumps the idle up from about 800 to 950-1000 rpm when you turn the A/C on. Its only function is strictly for the A/C. The IACV does the rest of the work.

Its like $200 to reconstruct ALL the hoses. But trust me I blew a motor because of a pinhole leak in one of these PIPES....

For people who running those racing radiator caps at 1.2 or 1.1 bars, it increases that chance of blowing these hoses cause you are adding more pressure into the system.

Replace or risk getting stranded or blowing your motor.

the piping under the intake

I am apparently missing the piping from under the intake and am having a really hard time finding them anywhere. Does anyone have a name or part number or anything to help me find the piping that is under the intake, the hoses are not a problem for me I just got a deal and a half on an sr that was broken down and am finding missing pieces here and there this is the biggest piece and has been a pain to find.

^^I returned your PM...

You may get lucky, or you may have to either source it out from a junk SR or have someone fabricate what you need...

wouldnt you realize the car is over heating and stop driving before any damage occurs to your motor?
