Haven't updated for a while not that I've really done much to it lately but did take it out to SMSP South Circuit again and managed to knock off another second off my lap time with a 1:08.26.

cheers guys on the kind words :)

turbo and injectors and retune etc will be on the cars but it still seems to be going strong so not going to worry atm, busy on my RX808 wagon trying to get that finished :)

The cars been playing up since last Sunday, its like it wants randomly stall when cruising so what I'm thinking is maybe airflow meter or fuel filter, its due for its 105,000Km service so I think I'll give it the works and see how it goes after that.

But to make matters worse on Saturday a woman decided to side swipe my rear bar luckily no damage to the rear quarter, just another thing to piss me off!!! :(

If the airflow meter goes whilst driving it normally just goes straight into limp mode, but doesn't stall. That was my experience anyway.

Maybe a dodgy cam sensor? Or fuel pump? Would be easy to check if you can get a gauge.

They don't always throw codes either.

Same, my engine light is up most of the time with the Fcon, but the AFM really isn't needed once you MAP tune it either. Only the gearbox cares.

swapped the airflow meter with a spare Dale had bought from Scotty but the cars still running like crap and now the AFR's are way to lean.

cruising now sits at 12 rather than 14
and when I hit boost even light throttle 5PSI I'm probably going under 10. (usually max throttle I'll hit the low 10's)

so 1) is the airflow meter the same do is the voltage different ?
or 2) do I need to do a ECU reset and relearn ?

otherwise I'm going to put my old one back in and try and find the problem why the car's wanting to stall mid driving/cruising.

tomorrow I might see if I can get the data off my tablet from the last few drives I've done to find the error.

12 is richer than 14.

That is, 14 parts air, 1 part fuel.

So it's not in danger. However it does point to a potential issue. That is, intake or vacuum pipe/seal leak. So, it might want to stall from unmetered air on cruise, but leak air out under boost to make for a richer mixture as the afm is metering up stream.

Have a look at all pipes for disconnected hoses, or splits.

I thought the airflow meter was the problem cos the voltages were spiking so I replaced it but it didn't fix anything so yeah I guess there could be a Intermittent leak somewhere.

but all my vacuum lines are new so I'm thinking it might be a solenoid or something to do with the fuel line valves.......

Can you pressure test the intake to see if there are any leaks?

If there is no other reason for the change in AFR's I can send you another AFM to try... Unless someone up there can lend you one for a drive? Perhaps the Chinese one is slightly out? I would have thought it would be fine on cruise though...

Have you checked the O2 sensor is oscillating?

well I finished wiring the fuel pump and replaced the fuel filter.
replaced the oil and put back in my original airflow meter.
put a fresh tank of Shell Optimax in as well.

took the car for about a 45min drive and everything seems to be ok.

didn't find an air leak although its still quite possible I'll see how it drives over the next week or so.......

thanks for the offer Russell but I'll see how it goes for now haven't had any drama's yet and I've put my old afm back in.

the problem with Scotty's afm is I'll need to get a retune anyways :( or put a resistor on it to get the correct values like the stock one.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
