oh and what is an AFM? :laugh:

classic.

Its an Air Flow Meter. Meters the air going through your intake. More air means more fuel.

I know on my mini the suzuki AFM was huge restriction. Removed it and went Map sensor.

btw the actual sensor wires that hang down in the middle of the afm can be cleaned with metho (or other non-residual contact cleaner) fairly easily. I've done it before - just remove the afm by itself and run some metho over the "sensor" (not the electrics - obviously leave the cover on the plug and leave that part well alone).

Then leave it in the sun for a while until its dry (metho evaporates very quick) and then put it back in the car...

I had trouble a while back with an oiled air filter stuffing up the afm. a quick clean of the afm and it would run good again, but before that it would not idle properly and generally be a bit stuttery when driving...

just something to try before replacing it completely. its an electrical component so not any more likely to play up than any other electrics as far as i know... :P

I used to have some of this liquid called Saphire. It was made by Wormald, who make fire fighting equipment and the like. was great for cleaning electrical gear because it didnt conduct electricity. great way to clean out mobiles and things, cause you could completely submerge the phone in the liquid. funny to ring the phone and here it still ringing in liquid.

but used to clean my car parts in there too. perfect.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
