wht510 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Might be the Air Flow meter. When they die, the engine goes into limp home mode and idles like a biatch.

wht510 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Sounds like you need to visit a tuner mate. Tell them the symptoms and they can plug in their diagnostic software and suggest the fix. Another method is to borrow someone elses AFM from an M35 and plug that in place of yours.

bubba Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Engine check light comes on when AFM is dead, error code 12 is what you're looking for. Edit: oh it's an NM35.. no idea then Edited July 28, 2010 by bubba Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/330649-help-engine-wont-go-over-2k-rpm/#findComment-5370443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wht510 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Moisture in the AFM? I'm not sure about M35's but most AFM are hot wire. They have a limited life due to the thermal cycles they go though. You might have even gone over a speed hump and it may have broken. The only way you can find out if they are good or bad is diagnostic software or replace it with a working version.

Jetwreck Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 more than likely it's the AFM....mine died two weeks ago for no reason as well. Get the codes.....pretty sure you can get an second hand x-trail one.....or you can go for the 1 year warranty approach and buy a new one....Hornsby Nissan had em in stock....get a price from them I'll see if I can beat it.

KiwiRS4T Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery (won't help if your afm really has died).

whitestag Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Ok kist to check. What we have called afm is actually a Maf? Just about to start calling around to get one.

Jetwreck Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Arnt wc34 and m35 different? some of the C34 guys get a little confused.....I give you a heads up as they don't quite get it ......our car is 98% different to the C34! So when you hear the line "Well on my C34......" more than likely they are completely wrong with the assessment! Sorry in advance if I have offended any C34 owners Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/330649-help-engine-wont-go-over-2k-rpm/#findComment-5371921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
