So, I decided to test out my AAR. It heats up and actuates bu when fully hot i can still blow a little air through it.
Is that normal, or should it really shut tight? |

I have tested several l-Jet AARs and found I could blow air through them when I closed them in a bench test; they still worked fine though when installed.
My AARs will close in 1 1/2 - 2 minutes at ambient temp. They require little maintenance. |

1. I am not sure, but I doubt it would have power when the accessory only is on. It is just an air bypass valve around the throttle body to help with cold starts, and my guess is that the car would be hard to start if the AAR closes if you listen to the radio for 10 minutes before starting the car (mine isn't).
2. Mine doesn't. Something loose inside? Opening the thing up to diagnose sounds a bit complicated according to Brad Anders, so if it's working, you may want to hold off on cracking it open. |
