Have written a few threads about this recently & Im sure some of you are sick of them but I need to try & find an answer... Had no car for months!

My RB25 is badly overfuelling on idle & all through rev-range. Injector pulse at idle is 7ms! Have no vacuum/IC leaks, have tried other AFMs & temp sensors, all with no luck... 1 interesting thing is I was told to unplug AFM & see what happened... While unplugged, the idle stopped hunting & exhaust stopped smoking, however you could smell it was still a bit rich. When I plugged AFM back in & went to rev engine, it was still in limp mode. I turned car off & on, same thing... Eventually with AFM plugged in I wiggled the wires & it came out of limp mode. It seems even moving where the AFM wiring meets the main loom has some effect on idle, (in & out of limp mode) but still nothing perfect. Does this give anyone any ideas? (bad earth from ECU to AFM, etc...) Really going crazy!

Any help appreciated

I had a bad afm, the solder on the connections inside the afm from the plug had broken, another problem could be that you have a short in the plug its self, try another afm and see if it makes a difference.

How do you know the injector pulse time at idle?

Check that you have supply voltage (12V), continiuty of the signal line to the ECU, and check the ground(s).

Had short use of a scantool to check live data...

So supply voltage to ECU. Signal line from AFM to ECU? & does anyone know which pins in ECU are earths? Have a pin-out but unsure of accuracy...

Checked all this today, came back fine... Every test I do comes back fine although there is obviously something wrong...

Any chance ECU could be at fault? Or anyone have any other ideas?

Thats what Im starting to consider... Possibly a fault in the ECU itself. If it is thats fine, ill go get a Z32 ECU tuned to suit by Dr Drift or similar but if its not I dont have a clue what to try next

If you in the frankston area i have an ecu here you can try to see if it is the ecu.

Thanks heaps mate but series 2 engine so possibly some difference in ECU... Seriously appreciated though

I believe S1 and S2 are the same, you can use the same model power fc on both, i believe the differences are outside the ecu, like the coils, S1 have an igniter for all 6 coils but S2 have an igniter on each coil, the ignition from the ecu is the same on both though, maybe do some searching and see what you can find, iys here if you need it.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
