oh yeah, those EFFIN things, ok sounds like fun, wouldnt that make it not run properly on idle and crusing round as well though?

Yea the Cas could be causing it. The usual suspects with these probs are either

Plugs & Coils, Afm, Cas, O2 sensor or Fuel pump. I had a similar prob with mine not long ago and got told it was most likley one of these things so good luck.

well its not coil packs caus they been replaced, could still be plugs i suppose if the new ones havnt been gapped properly or somethin, its not AFM caus the air fuel mixtures stay the same when it surges, its had a walbro fuel pump put it in, the O2 sensor looks new, but still might check that somhow,

can CAS caus the problem at such high revs though?

Clean the AFM first becuase it's easier.

Few bolts and clips, bit of spray cleaner and your done, worth doing anyway

If that's the prob, you've saved yourself heaps of stuffing around.

I'm sure there was a thread like this a few weeks ago and that's what fixed it.

Good luck :D

yeah fair enough mate, ill try it anyway but if it was the AFM you would have been able to see the air fuel mixtures change when it was on the dyno.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
