1st you need to find out if its electrical, fuel, or mechanical

and does it happen when its cold started? (i.e.in the morning)

i would disconnect the battery, and then un plug the ECU, leave it for 24 hours to reset

The Airflow meter is plugged in correctly i hope!

My guess is the temp sensor is corroded or fouled (it tells the ECU the water temp, thus adjusting the fuel mixture). easy to fix/replace. but it might not be the final verdict.

My old R31 had similr problems, it all started after i played with the screw in the AFM, ran like crap after that, and i never got it right after that.

The RB30E engine is very prone to this problem. In most cases it is the AFM (ECU throws a code 12). The 1st thing i usually do is check that the resistence across Pins 1 to 6 on the AFM is 382 +-2 Ohms. If all is good there then squirt some WD40 or similar on the connections and then reinstall the plug & the dust boot - it's amazing how much crap still gets under the dust boot. It may or may not run properly for a day or 2 as the ECU has to relearn the signals from the AFM. If the easy way doesn't work then if you can get access to a Gregory's #242 manual Pg 83 for the detailed method to test the AFM. I can scan the pages & send to you if required.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
