The NRMA guy unpluged the AFM and the car start up and stayed on

zei20l

unplug the AFM and try to start the car. if it starts, buy a new AFM. if it doesnt start, its something else. might be one of the CAS's

Do you think I need a Fuel Pump or a new AFM?

Could be a dirty intake manifold. When I first bought my car, I had the same issue. It happens when the engine is warm, starts up then shuts down. I took it back to the dealer the same day I bought it, they took out the manifold and gave it a real clean. Never had a problem after that.

Nissan will have an afm but it wont be cheap. You only need the sensor not the tube it sits in. You can try from the US once you have the p/n, it will be half the price.

The intake or more specifically the throttle can cause the car to stall if its too dirty but if you unplug the AFM and it runs then theres a good chance it isn't the throttle.

cleaning it will do nothing, ive tried this several times.

just buy a new one from nissan.......

its 5 mins to install, so please DONT pay a mechanic to install it

the good thing is you can still drive the car without the AFM connected

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
