Testing my AAR's ?? Options

[cary]

Well I'm finally getting around to testing my 2 AAR's.
Looks like either of them work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Stuck open. Both of them. Bench tested both of them. Neither of them get warm. Ten minutes on the battery charger and still open.

The problem is, I've adjusted the idle mixture with a stuck open AAR. So that's why I have a piss poor warm idle.
The question is, now thats it's 50 degrees in the AM and 85 during the day, can I just take it out of the loop and plug the holes ? Starts crappy any way with the screwed up AAR.

I have an AAR in my $250 parts car. I'm going to test it next. All have the same part #. Funny thing, the 2 cars that have 1.7's and I paid the least for always seem to have the best working parts. To bad the rust god got to them so badly.

Well I tested the third one, same thing. No closing with 12v. Then I put all 3 in a 250 degree oven and all 3 closed.
Now I have the first one in the freezer to see if opens all the way.
Now I'm thinking that it doesn't open all the way. That's why I have a crappy idle at cold start.
Because if I pull the outlet side hose off,engine cold. The engine then goes up to 1200 rpms, like it should.

So I'm probably back to a rusty AAR that doesn't open all the way.
So there really isn't a need to loop around it.
