can anyone offer advice on where i should be looking to fix up my stuffup

i decided to give my r34 gtt a wash under the engine bay, on 3 occassions i started the motor and sh ran nice.

after shamming up the excess water, i moved to the snorkal, airbox and filter.

whilst this was off i started the engine to move the car a meter or so and wammm, the air and fuel mixture is off , rough idle, and crap performance.

i tried a ecu reset and now i have the traction light / engine light permenantly on ?????????

any help is worth something

Do/check all these things

make sure your air flow meter (which is a cylinder attached to the airbox and has mesh on both sides) is completely dry(let it sit in the sun for a bit?/hairdryer?), or that you haven't blown any dirt onto it's sensor as that would cause problems too...

Check that the plug/wires to it aswell to make sure they havent come loose..

Check you havent gotten some water in some cracks/all the pipes are well connected and sealed.

you said "i moved to the snorkal, airbox and filter" and then you started the car... did you have the airflow meter connected? if not, thats your issue as you car has no idea how much air it is sucking in...

also, when you did the ecu reset, was everything back in place and are you sure you did it properly? (im not sure how to do it as I have an aftermarket ecu, but just making sure)

gl with it.

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By PranK · Posted

      That's all I needed mate thanks.  For context, we've seen a big number of old accounts being hacked into and then used to post spam. I was wondering if yours had also.  I've never had a good funnel. My driveway can attest to that. 😔

      I am not a spammer ,, all I can say I have been member of the forum since a while ,,,,and as admin you can verify the time of registration I have 5 funnels none of them fit firmly. Similar thread was posted on the forum below but  it is US based : https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/no-more-spilled-oil-during-an-oil-change-spill-free-oil-funnel.26438/page-2

      Your post has me puzzled. I have a lot of "spammer" warning signs flashing at me.  Are you honestly, truly, asking for our feedback on oil funnels? For 4 completely different cars?  They're 20 bucks! Just buy one and see!  Maybe I'm missing something?  My finger is hovering above the "flag as spammer" button... Convince me not to click it.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.

      Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...
