ok, so i kno this has probably been covered before, but stuffed if i can find it! so i was driving thru a causeway the other day after all the heavy rain we have just had, there was about 10cm of water over the road and just after i got thru it, my car sorta died. i backed off and it came good again, but as soon as i put my foot down, the same thing happened. it seems fine when i just put the power on lightly, but under heavy acceleration it nearly throws me thru the windscreen. im thinkin maybe sum water got sucked up into the AFM, coz i have literally disconnected every plug to check if they were wet, but all good. sorry bout the long rant, but its really starting to annoy me and i want it sorted! if anyone has any ideas as to what has happened i would be really grateful for sum help

It kinda does sound like AFM damage, but i would have thought you'd need more than 10cm of water for it to get through the air filter.

Highly unlikely its a wet plug too . I hose my engine bay off all the time with no drama lol :)

its possible if everything not in good condition or plugged in properly. for example if a certain part of my main engine loom gets wet the car misses horribly until it dries up.....

as said check afm and make sure everythings dry

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
