Adjustable Steering Column
-
Thanks Marco. It is obviously a mystery.
Agreed that switch does affect tick over but it helps sometimes to see out the back window when looking for blue lights. :)My demist has not worked since I got the car. I have checked all that I can electrically and it must be either the relay or the switch. I have a relay and Chris may have a switch so it is just insurance really, although the switch feels a bit 'loose'.

I'm not sure about in the UK but in North America, most mx-3's with the v6 adjust and most mx-3's with the 4cyl don't adjust…
It's interesting you mention the defrost affecting your idle... on my ze it will drop the rpm about 2-300
-
Would the drop in revs be due to the extra load required to operate demist. If you jump start another car from yours, once the leads are connected there is a drop in rpm by the donor car, hence the donor car driver slaps on more rpm to charge his own battery and make up for the load being drained . You would only notice the drop in rpm at idle. :wink:

Yep I would say it is, as the alternator works overtime. However the ECU is meant to compensate, I think via the IAC. Mine was fine in my 1.8 car, but the ZE beast is more affected. I've tried two IACs, so what's that leave? Grounding issues, alternator… hmm. It annoys me.

but I have a millenia alternator 110amp vs. 90 amp and I still have the issue…
-
Yea I know, but even the stock alt can cope just fine, so it must be something else. Doesn't the IAC let more air in under load? I just can't believe all 3 IACs I have (all cleaned) are fails. Really pisses me off! I saw a guy on mx6.com say about this first but he never seemed to have fixed it. I guess one day when my megasquirt is running the show I'll be fine!
