could be afm on the way, but could also be fuel pump or module, do u have and safc?, i've seen em f**k up and ppl change afm but no avail, all sorts of shit to consider just depends on circumstances, what revs was it dying at was the car hot or cold, did it die tottally or was it popping and farting, you can bridge the wires under the dash inside the fuse panel lid for OBD and use the computer to tell u the fault code, if the afm has a problem the computer will have stored it as a fault code, otherwise u might want your mechanic to put a fuel pressure gauge on your line and check the pressure. good luck

No safc, however car is going in for a tune in about 2weeks and installing aftermarket computer or safc2.. So hopefully that helps..

Did take it 4 a drive 2 get dinner n car didnt fail once on me, under load in 4th at 40ks.. was sweet.. under load in 2,3rd gear full boost n car was fine.. So f*ks me wat it is.. Car was hot when it screwed up to.. Didnt really make a popping or farting noise, just more of a dying noise like u stalled the car or turned it off while driving.. really weird.. im going 2 go take the afm off n have a look @ it along with the wiring.. But thanks for the reply mate.

  • 3 weeks later...

anyone got any ideas?

have also replaced fuel pump & tried a different crank angle sensor with neither of these items proving 2 help me? im sure it has 2 be something electrical but i cant think wat it is. :)

car also stalled once when i was warming it up in the morning.. like i go off 2 brush my teeth n shit b4 work n leave car 2 warm up n i go back out 2 garage n car has stalled itself.. wtf. throttle position sensor maybe? someone clarify for me :) ??

Do you have an atmo-venting BOV? Its probably not that but its an easy source of a similar stalling problem to eliminate.

yeah bro i do.. but thing is, car splutters n was backfiring n shit. was on the highway tonight n car decided 2 play up.. dropped it back 2 third n felt like i was on rev limiter.. popping n shit.. im like wtf.. has 2 be injectors 4 sure? wat u reckon? yay or ney?

i dnt know bout skylines but with a silvia id say coil packs, change them and see what happens, heating up and having problems more than likely coil packs

its not the coilpacks they are splitfires.. n wen they decide 2 go the car will just miss i think?

in all honesty mate, split fires play up too u know, ive heard of alot of incidents were this happens, if u have a mate or the original ones lying around just try it... coil packs have a funy way or stuffing around... u not losing nething but excluding things 1 by one. up to u neways.

i know mate, its random tho.. it doesnt just cut out all the time or when its just hot or wateva? i mean if i warm the car up.. after a few mins it cuts out n stalls.. :s However when i leave work n warm car up its never done it? Figure that out.. then some days it wont even splutter/back off n i dont understand why not. If it was doing it all the time it would make it easier 2 determine wat problem is cause i could just swap/plug n play with the coils 4 example.. but the chances of it actually doing it after i swap or do it when i want it 2 are bare minimum.. so annoying :D

sounds like afm had same probs with my gtr for about 3 months then it crapped itself

thats good!! cause i just bought an afm off some dude from tassie, hopefully it fixes the problem, fingers crossed.. :D

So anyone wanan buy a high quality broken afm off me? very good product!! =D haha

it will be the AFM.

what you should have done is this..

bought one of these..

taken your AFM off like this..

Then let the 2 join in holly sprayamony.

test it out.

if that doesn't work, you should have gone to dicksmith and bought one of these..

and some of this

and some of this..

Then you should have done a search on SAU for the words SOLDER+AFM

Here's one I prepared earlier

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fi...p;hl=SOLDER+AFM

I would say check your piping for an air leak/loose piping aroud the air flow meter.....

is the afm positioned on the cooler piping or on your intake??

I had a similar problem with my R31 back in the day..... turned out to be an air leak....

when you put your foot down theres alot of air rushing through.... so even if your pipes are loose the afm will register some sort of air flow.

on idle - there isnt much air rushing through so if the air is escaping somewhere through the piping before it gets to you afm (thus not enough air for the afm to register) your engine will stall......

just another thing to check.... good luck with solving it :P

I think it's definitely the AFM ... check my thread.. same shit... getting this fixed soon!

Spot on mate.. was the afm :P hope that helps everyone else having the same problems/issues.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
