Hey Guys I Been To Every Forum So Far About This And Haven't Had Any Help.. Can You Guys Please Help Me And Tell Me Whats Wrong With My Wiring.


Recommended Posts

Today i did some fooling around with different maf sensors..

today i took the n60 mafs off and out. I went and re-installed my stock rb20 mafs.

When i had the rb20 mafs wired up my car started right up with no starting fluid and started smooth but my idle was still high and now it started smoking black!!!

so i took the rb20 maf out and went back to the n60 mafs.

n60 mafs car wouldn't start without spraying starting fluid but once started and running i noticed the n60 mafs my car will not smoke black.

so one last time i went and re-installed the stock rb20 mafs again and car started right up smooth but was smoking black again..

and also while car running...

car running unpluggin the n60 mafs car will stall out....

car running unpluggin the rb20 mafs car will not stall out.

so what is going on guys? am I wiring my mafs wrong or something???

ecu is still not throwing any codes other than 55.

ok and this i just found out with some searching...

it seems lik when running the rb20 afm i just found out my rb20 maf is using a rb25 series 2 pigtail haress which i found out the colors are

White with Blue Trace - Ground

Orange with Black Trace- Signal

Black with White Trace - 12v Power

which tells me that is a series 2 rb25 pigtail afm

sooo hrmm yeah my rb20 maf is using a rb25 series 2 pigtail so sonmething is wrong.

so i'm guessing i wired something wrong.. Can you guys help me clear this up?

Edited by hcr32sky240sx

sounds like you're running the wrong maf/afm then

rb20 ones have a green label on them with 4 wires

i have the right mafs its green label its j60 which is rb20 but the if u reaad my post.. the problem

my pigtail is an rb25 series 2 and the wire colors do not match.."

so bascilly all i want to know is how to wire the pigtal to my rb20 mafs harness..

is that so hard???

and yes its stock ecu

You cant use other AFM's without changing the VQ table in your ECU - i.e. the voltages are scaled differently

R32 AFM is the same as R33 S1 AFM

Wire A - Not Connected

Wire B - Signal

Wire C - 12v Ground

Wire D - Signal Ground

Wire E - 12v Power

R33 S2 AFM is the same size and calibration as the other two

White with Blue Trace - Ground

Orange with Black Trace - Signal

Black with White Trace - 12v Power

Hope that helps

Im sorry but what motor is it RB20, RB25 or RB26? and what ECU is it?

I ask because it sounds like one of those AFMs worked, one was right for start up but too rich for normal running and the other the opposite, if the second one ran properly it may be the start up componants maybe faulty, check the ACC valve etc (I say etc because there are others that I cant remember ATM)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
