Well puling the loom from the coils made it run a bit rougher on each one, so that rules the out. Unplugging the afm made the car stall, so it must be working to some degree.

How big an effect will an leak in cooler piping have at idle?

Got this same problem I've been battling for a couple of weeks.

Changed pump Changed plugs gapped to .8 . Checked piping. Problem went away basically after the Pump Then one day the misfire returned worse than ever was almost constant I changed the fuel filter and had a mild improvement

. Pulled the pump out and the sock was so jammed with dirt it wasn't pulling through. Cleaned it out and all good again . Has started to come back again after a week. Anyway i reckon pull your pump out as the sick is probably full of shit

My car did the same thing the day after i got it (blew the intercooler pipe off) Was told it was a realy small hole but F#*K me, it ran like it was on 3 cylinders and blew alot of black smoke. Even if you can't find any obviouse leaks in the intercooler pipeing just have a realy close and good leak. Apart from that i would just do what everyone else is suggesting. Hope you get her running 100% soon :)

alot.

my AFM was rooted, but it still stalled when you unplugged it.

edit: are you north or south?

Im down south Dion. my car is currently taking up space in my gfs parents garage in Morphett Vale :P

a mate had similar issues, new spark plugs, tested different AFM and bought new coilpacks and in the end it turned out to be the ignition module...

Cheers Vu, will add that to the list

okies, will do. what did you use to clean up the pump, im guessing there are some solvents/cleaning products to steer clear of in case they react with petrol

hmm wouldnt have thought a small leak would have such a large effect, we'll see!

Hey Carl

I'm putting my money on boost leak bud

Rough idle , hunting, blowing smoke......all symptoms of an intercooler pipe pissing out somewhere

looks like its the next step

If it's IC piping, you owe me a blowie.

Borrow a working AFM from someone to rule that out too and save you the head f**k of buying one if it's not the problem.

fark that is a fairly steep price for IC piping being the cause :P

Yeah if your silicone joiners are a bit old, thats probably the cheapest way to start!

yeop, my thoughts as well... i have done everything that is free so far. time to move on to the cheap fixes :D

finally got some more time to mess about with the car. replaced a bunch of the joiners with fresh look at me blue silicon and new clamps. there were a couple sections that i could not find replacments for (they have a gradual curve in them) so i have not completely ruled out a vacuum leak.

a couple things that i have noticed in the way that it is running are:

  • it runs slightly smoother at idle. however it is still blowing a ton of smoke at idle and makes a nice cloud on gear changes and acceleration in 1st
  • after a bit if driving then coming to a stop it idles at 2k rpm for a little while (up to 1 min) then it drops back down to around 1k rpm and will surge/splutter.
  • when driving at a steady rpm, a change in throttle position makes the car surge/splutter
  • does not blow smoke driving at a steady speed
  • does not want to boost past 8psi (not that i have been trying to, but the slippery clutch means sometimes i dont have much choice in gointg to higher rpm)

does that info help narrow it down for all?

anyone out there have a working green sticker AFM or RB20 igniter pack i can try out this coming weekend? i work in the city and live in the brighton area

ps, thanks for the help so far :cheers:

Igniter pack will be solid gold bro!

Will clean out my aac this weekend, can hopefully sort an afm to test as well.

Faililng those telling me what the problem is it leaves a vacuum leak that is still there, a borked CAS. Or something more sinister

You my friend are in luck......i have a spare igniter pack and creank angle sensor you can try, but i'm not sure how well the sensor will work as it hit the ground when i pulled it of my spare motor. If you want i can drop them off on my way home from tafe tomorrow arvo (finish at 4:50) so just txt or PM me the addy.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
