Stabiliser?

[toddr33]

I'm a noob so bear with me. A guy I'm about to buy a car off says the stabiliser needs to be replaced, his best explanation was that "when you turn the key, electrics go through this thing" and that if you drive the car for like an hour, the engine might stop and you might not be able to start it again. He said it's below the airbox and it's like a fuse type thing ... the airbox is standard and the car is a 33 GTS-T ... what he's saying makes no sense whatsoever to me?

ANY help would be really appreciated thanks!

that sounds extremely odd

ships have to replace 'stabilisers' all the time - after hitting sunfish, coral reefs and such

He's having a lend of you right?

It's not one of these skyhooks jokes is it... or L-handed screwdrivers... perhaps, a polariser?

Well what's under the airbox... a fuse of any kind? Or atleast tell me what exactly is under the air box...

A fuse-type-thing (that the guy & you mentioned) would have a wire

The Airflow Meter has a wire

This often plays up and will need to be replaced or very carefully cleaned

Got a pic?

Even if it is the AFM, and needs to be replaced/cleaned, it's essential that you don't get gunk on it in the future eg. oil that's sprayed on pods

There are topics on this via 'Search'

Cheers Terry. That's probably it, he's not mechanically sound at all so I think he was just explaining in a very crappy way haha. I'll do some searching cheers mate.
