Just followed the tute at: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fi...-s-t113284.html to attempt to fix my afm's (intermittently dies under acceleration OR when im cruising at a constant speed and need to wack it with a torch to fix)

My solder connections seem fine, putting a bit of pressure on them no movement, and they look fine.. fresh even ( sum1 else has pulled these apart)

Was just wondering if it matters that i'm missing the yellow cover for the AFM circuit board? (just in case it acts as a ground or smtn, not the outer black cover)

thanks,

Also, is there anything else that can go wrong that i could check for? A dirty sensor wouldn't cause this would it? I have already re-wired about 40 cm of the wiring going into the AFM (i was moving it and it was stuffing up randomly) but that didn't fix it, and only hitting it fixes it so i would think that'd rule out a sensor problem

a 'new' one will cost a lot more than $100. (closer to $1000 - thanks Nissan!)

2nd hand you should be able to find them for $50-$100 max

i'd resolder it anyway. visual inspection of solder will tell you very little. Resolder it just to be sure and see if it works then.

otherwise, could just be borked.

+1

Resoldering is so easy you might as well. I did mine even though they appeared to be ok.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.

      We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
