[Rb30 In A Patrol Running Rich And Running Rough]

Hahaha yeah sounds about right. I have picked up a brand new AFM tonight along with a good ecu, and a multi meter, gonna see how I go.

Hahahaha thanks guys And yes, even though it's not running right it creams the old carby motor. Actually accelerates up hills now instead of dying in the arse. It actually feels like a turbo compared to the old one, can only imagine what it's gonna be like when I do turbo it.

And Mad082, thanks. I will hafta check with a mate who's done this conversion before and see if he had probs with the neutral starter switch and speed sensor. For now I have picked up a brand new AFM (an after market one) and another ecu, plus a multi meter to check everything over. Once everythings sorted with this I will be turboing the beast so yeah wanna sort it quickly

Lol, no one cares about rb30e's on this forum.

Well f*k mate, i'll go over to Fordforums.com or Commdores.com, at least the people seem helpful over there. But thanks anyway.

Hi folks... Thought i'd post here in an attempt to sort out some running issues I have since doing an RB30e conversion my Patrol.

First up, it's running rich. Not just a little, i've had cars run rich before, this is insanely rich. I am getting an error code for AFM and thought "sweet we've found the problem" however we put my AFM on my mates car and it worked fine, no issues. Swapped his o2 sensor for mine which didnt change anything either. Then put his stuff on mine and had same problem.

Secondly, It's running really rough at idle and if i try and take off normally it coughs and splutters and backfires until I get to a little above 2000rpm then it just takes off. I am very happy with how it moves my 2 ton Patrol once it hits this rpm mark. But yeah below this and its just got no power at all. To try and rememedy this fault i've replaced the CAS with mates good one, cleaned out the AAC valve, replaced spark plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rotor with brand new items and played around with the timing (15-20degrees) All to no avail.

Now, bedsides trying this brand new AFM I really dont know what else to try. Thinking I might hafta try a more qualified mechanic but not sure what else they could do that I havent already tried.

Just to clarify, this engine I removed from a skyline I bought and drove home 1 hours drive and it didn't miss a beat, no issues whatsoever. There is one thing I thought of this morning but not sure if it is possible but, when I wired up the alternator I was stupid (or just tired, working late nights on this car after 10 hour days at work) and didn't disconnect the battery. The main power wire earthed itself out on my chassis. Could this have possibly fried ther ECU? The only error codes it is showing is AFM, speed sensor, nuetral starter switch and air con. All a non issue except AFM i guess. I have searcched for all vaccuum leaks, all electrical plugs are plugged in and yeah still trying to think of stuff to sort it out.

Anyway, all ideas and suggestions greatly appreciated.

[How To Improve On The R33 Headlights]

Can anyone tell me please if there is something wrong with my combo switch? When my low beam is on the outer globe is lit up and when i switch to high beam it only lights up the inner globe not the outer and inner globe. Is there something wrong here or this normal on a skyline?
