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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
