Ok so I was wondering if a fudged coilpack would cause a car to fluctacte at idle (1200 to 2000rpm) I cnt find any vac leaks and I jst went to go down the road and my car started hesitating and almost died at stand still, Managed to limp the car back home, I've had it on diagnostics and it comes back afm, I changed afm and still did the same thing, I've got new plugs in gapped at .8mm, cnt find any vac leaks, tps is fine, I've had 2 mechanics look at it quickly but have no idea.. I'm going to take it to 999 automotive tomorrow, but after I jst took it for a drive I was thinking maybe the coilpacks r the problem, the car is upto 137xxxkms, 3" exhaust turbo back, nd running 12psi, r34 gtt sedan..

As many as it takes to fix my car... Gotta learn somehow and As I've never had this problem

B4 I'm trying to find out as much as I can so I know what to do in future, as I've tried everything else, and as no1 has said anything about coilpacks I wanted to put it in the title to attract other people that have had coilpack issues to share with me there problems as I dnt know the symptoms and I dnt know how often ur suppose to change them as there is mixed info on them? This is a forum after all for getting information?

Check engine light is on, traction control is stuck on as wel as I snapped a nipple pulling a vac hose off on the traction control sensor but is getting replaced tomorrow, this all happened b4 that but, I did do a diagnostics and it came back afm

So I

Replaced it, didn't fix it and I was told that Rbs are common to throw afm codes in when something is wrong... I'm going to let aechanic sort it out so if some1 else knows a gd mechanic near sunnybank I will take it there otherwise 999 is my option for now

Should of wrote that more clear, but I snapped the nipple looking for vac leaks after the problem

Accured but that def is not the

Problem, unsure if the engine light came up after I snapped the nipple or because the car is now starting to hesitate

I'm not that stupid mate.... Like I said I jst need a good mechanic, I've tried everything that I have Bn told to do off this site, quite over it now cos it's my daily driver...

I don't think jez was implying that you were as dumb as a door knob.

More the fact, did it come off a car where it was working fine?

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
