DIY: Installation of FICD for Better Idling after Aircond ON

Ever experienced engine stall with air-conditioner on when you car slow down? What happen if you are at the moment of turning into a junction and opposite car is coming? I believe that your heart will pounding rapidly. Why this happen? This is because your engine idling is not idle stably. Thus, in order to solve this in a cheap way, FICD is the hope for you.

FICD is a little device that will help you with this problem. The concept is, this device will allow vacuum leak by allowing more air into intake manifold hence engine have enough air and wont stall. Its also stabilize idle and drive will feel a little bit lighter with a/c on. For the one who familiar with valves, FICD is simply a solenoid valve. Continue to read the entire post so that you can have a better understanding on how to DIY by yourself and this may save you up some bucks for the installation fee.

I always believe that a picture worth a thousand words. Therefore I will always prepare a picture for my DIY post. This is to make you understand easily.

The red point there is the joining point of the vacuum pipe to the FICD. However for the other vacuum point of the FICD, you can either install a small air filter which named as B or direct a pipe to the return oil pipe named as A. Both will work fine for you.

  2. Hi Ben,

    My engine is a 4AGE Blacktop. Can I install this FICD on the "A" side of your diagram?

    At the moment I'm using an open pod air filter so the hose connection between the head and air filter ram has been removed. I covered the air hole on the left side of the head with a small air filter.

    Thanks

  3. Hi Epul,

    It is advisable to install at the vacuum hose where it will connect to the throttle body.

  6. For FICD, there is 2 wire, which one +ve and -ve. But from the picture i believe black is -ve and red is +ve. I have bought one FICD, the wire color is different, one is blank stripe pink and the other one pink stripe black. Any problem if we interchange the wire connection?

  7. Hi Mazrul,

    The worst case is you will burn your FICD.

    Just want to bring up old post since I'm a bit confused, can I know whether it is working on 4g13 VDO injection? I am using satria 1.3 now.

  24. I personally experience idling problem with wira 1.6 auto 4g91 engine. This ficd method is ok but didn't solve my real problem. The real culprit is the egr valve is blocked by carbon and continuesly in open conditions. You should try to service the egr valve. Can diy.
