Y'day after work went to start my car after is had been sitting for 8 hours, I turned the key it started but is strugled to build revs to idle (900rpm) the rpm's went up in stages 200rpm 500rpm then finally when i touched the accelarater it went up to 900rpm? i thought oil pressure? or something to do with cold start?

the only thing i touched was the afm all i did to that was make sure the plug was in properly

i have another question aswell, i think my afm is playing up my car just doesn't feel the same since last fri nite when i had a major boost cut, it was like a hit a wall then i took my foot off the accelerater abit it started to boost again! now it feels different, could it be in some kind of limp mode? it still revs past 3000rpm just feels a bit slower

is there a way to check the afm is working 100%? with afm do they either work or not work? or can they still work at only 50% if that make sense

thanks

if stock ecu, get nissan consult (cable and software) you can buy it, check for NewKleer (he makes them) on the forums

then check the stock ecu diagnostics via the software it will tell you if the AFM is toast

if AFM is toast - ie completely dead REV is capped at 2500rpm

but if its dirty / mangled it may work enough to run, but make fuel injection run like ass, ie botched airflow vs real airflow

check its plug, check for damage, visual inspection, check with elec/carby cleaner

Do a search, from what you are saying the airflow meter has dry solder joints inside on the board. There is a how to for repair if you do a search. As a temp solution you could possibly cable-tie the wires down tight one way or the other but it needs to be fixed or replaced.

have you put diffrent fuel in latley???

sounds like it is fueling up.. could be your afm or your fpr......

if its a stock ecu, do a reset and put it in learn mode....

to reset Take the terminals off the battery, then turn the lights on to get rid of stored power.....

put back together and turn the key... it will be in learn mode for 30 key turns... if it was your fuel it will sort it self out.... if its ur afm, clean and replace if you have tooo...

good luck

also check your plugs.... could have givven you the wall hitting experience.. and be down on power..

thanks muff i will try anything is there a way to check voltage with a multimeter for the afm?

im waiting on new coil packs i will check and change plugs when i get the new coils

and for the fuel i use the same fuel from the same place everytime i fill up

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
