Help, Sick R32 Gtst

[barnoon]

Hey guys,

hopped into my R32 GTST about 10 mins ago to head to work and as soon as I started it up it sounded real funny missfiring and carrying on and sounds a bit like its running on 5 cylinders, it wont rev over 2.5k and tons of black smoke is billowing out of the exhaust, whenever i give it a rev it gets to 2.5k then I just get flutter,

Ive checked to see if any intercooler hoses etc have come off but theirs nothing I can see wrong with it, anyone got any idea what my dilemma could be?

Stock turbo on 12psi

Bleed Valve

Power Fc

3 Inch Turbo back exhaust

Pod

Front Mount

Also I noticed yesterday it was running at 82 degrees on the way home instead of where it normally sits at about 72 so I dont know if this could be a sign of the problem at all?

Thanks heaps

AFM

thats exactly what my car did when my afm stuffed up

ok guys well im home now i decided to let the car warm up and when its 100% warm it seemed to drive ok no more massive amounts of smoke but when it drove their was a fair bit of backfiring and missfire etc.

i forgot to mention earlier that yesterday in the pfc setting mode i went to rev/idle and on the last 2 options they now say 850 rpm, and 950rpm,

i think i may have changed one of these on accident yesterday i have no idea if this would of contributed at all but is that what them 2 things are meant to say

your AFM would have had a bad connection..., causing it to enter "limp home" mode, runnign the car very rich

the running rich fouled your plugs

When the connection was again fine, it didn't drive smooth due to the foulled plugs

3 options that i know of:

- spray WD-40 onto plug to ensure its not just some moisture in the plug

- take out the AFM and re-solder it.. to learn how, do a search for "+solder +AFM"

- buy a replacement AFM

its going to happen to us all eventually.. it happened to me about 2 months ago

cheers,

thanks mate that sounds good im gunna take it to my tuner tonight hopefully if it makes it, i replaced a faulty afm about 2 months ago and the symptoms were very different to this time that was what made me think it might not be the AFM, least now that it can move i can get it to my tuner,

thanks guys

you didn't select a differant AFM in the settings by any chance did you?

I have done this once, and it produced similar results
