Ya, as stated, CAS or AFM, 100%. My friend had this with his GTR, ended up being one MAF was shot.. Even after resoldering etc, the thermister had had it.

CAS along with TPS can be typically faulty around the 60-80,000 km mark

I'm so glad you posted this topic cause my car has started with a similar issue I have suspected my cas to befaulty since I've had the car I've always had a pop on idle Which has goten worse over the past 3months to the point where it today started to hardly idle it idles round .500rpm and pop and misses and border line stalls and the miss seems to come go also which I could not understand and if I drive hard while it's running funny it pings it head off literally i have i have been dumfounded for the last couple of months with this issues i have changed injectors three times have cleaned the aac and afm which didn't really help at all changed the fuel pump removed aftermarket fuel regs changed fuel lines with no change i finally borrowed a cas off my mate and it didnt pop at all but when I drove hard a had flat spots all thru the revs which I think maybe cause the ecu mayneed to be remapped cause it's ran poorly for so long can any one confirm this?

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
