Anyone have a work around for a AAR? Mine is sitting upside down in penetrating oil as I hope and pray that the cylinder becomes unstuck. In the meantime, has anyone successfully grafted another AAR device? My 1973 1.7L needs a little help when she's cold.
As I research the subject I see where Bosch made a bunch of FI systems for various auto manufacturers around the world, and I cannot help but think one of those bits would do the job my 0280-014-007 does when healthy? |

You could use a 12vdc solenoid to open a vac. line. Grainger has them for 25 bucks. would be open or closed though, nothing in between.

Yeah, I was noodling through that idea myself...could you put a potentiometer in the circuit and control travel of the valve piston on a solenoid air valve? Control the POT from inside the car...no cables needed? Just getting a AAR for a 924 is probably the easiest, but not as much fun. |

Variable voltage would only make it start to get hot, then as the voltage increased to the minimal coil voltage, it would just trigger. You can get a servo valve, but it would cost way to much. You possibly could hook up a small RC servo as a variable idle stop, using a pot or even a small servo driver board. Or use one to open a ball valve, as long as it wasn't a stiff one. Lots of ideas, not a lot of time. |
