Meggala please help.

I have a R33 series 1

This is the story: Had my car in the spray shop for the last seven weeks. The car was fully stripped, and taken back to bare metal. The car was not driven and the engine was covered buy plastic -but mostly exposed.

So heres my problem - before the car went in run beautifully. Now got the car back and it wont idle. It idles in the correct position but the revs slowly move down unit it stalls.

It have - cleaned the throttle body

- removed Apexi super air intake an cleaned

- removed AFM and cleaned with electrical contract spray

- cleaned all electrical pugs in the engine bay with electical

contract spray

- reset ecu a number of times

And its still f**ked.

Meggala do you think the AFM is faulty????

I installed S-AFC on Sat (have not had it tuned yet) and in the monitor mode it reads AIR FLOW OK...........so AFM might be OK????

Any suggestions?

Have not done a diag yet, do I have to bite the bullet and pull the f**ken ECU out and run diag.

If it is AFM do I just get the same standard one or can I get a better one???

Thanks in advance

Dan

I'm no expert or mechanic but i have heard of issues with the tps (throttle position switch this sound like what it could be. I'd take it to a pro if you can (I don't even know where the tps switch is) I doubt its the afm but try and borrow one to check . if it is the afm gewt a z32 one as they can handel more power and are only 100 buck extra.

cheers

      Thanks heaps Duncan and GTSBoy. I'll get my old man to sit in the driver's seat and turn it on and off while I test with the meter. Or maybe other way round, depending on whether he remembers where his glasses got to

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.
