is yours really high or something ?

well yes...

look who is asking the question.

im trying to problem solve why im getting a reading of 2.4volts at idle.

you said the other day that it should be below 1v at idle.

yeah off the bat 2.4 seems way too high

i'd be suprised if it was correct

if you rev it a few times

does it always go back to the same value?

are u sure q45 is selected?

no pipework leaks around the afm?

whats the voltage with the car set to ON but not running

a photo of SENSOR SW / CHECK with the car set to ON but not running and another pic of the car running, that shoud help. also confirm what is under SETTING, AIRFLOW

ingnition only = .160v

it starts around .350v then counts down.

when running its up in the low 2.2 - 2.4 volt range

well, the idle will be shagged if its saying 2.4v of AIRFLOW to the powerfc and there actually is jack all. its probably on half the load axis at idle. ie because its saying 2.4v on the load axis, its like halfway. it would be mega sucky idle, suprised it even runs

what pfc (ETC, PROG VERSION)

what intake piping (stock turbo duct?, custom?)

what air filter (pod, box, panel filter, open mouth?)

where is the afm (in front of turbo, after intercooler?)

can u get a photo of SENSOR SW / CHECK with car running

do u have someone local with a knock working q45 AFM ?

can u try the stock afm back on it ? does it give similar readings?

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
