there are some things that make no sense in that thread

if the cat temp light is on or engine check light then why does ecu diag return no error? are you sure your doing it correctly?

fuel problems dont develop themselves and the main engine basically follows what the throttle and sensors do

ie the engine operates and the sensors tell the ECU how much fuel to use etc

not the other way around.

a f**ked TPS could explain some of the issues you have

as could a dirty afm so maybe consult is the best way

might be easier to just buy a consult cable - arent they like $50 ?

also what magically changed a week ago?

what else has been done to the car before this "week ago"

have you tried a simple ECU reset?

Hi Paul - I've cleaned the AFM thoroughly - reset the ECU as well. The EGT light NOW doesn't turn on since I took the ecu out for a diagnostic and found out the constant led on it wasn't on (made sure it was on when the ignition was on by turning the screw before i put it back in after the diagnostic and that has gotten rid of the EGT light.

So if the diagnostic doesn't return any codes, still worthwhile doing a consult check? Nothing was touched on the car in the build up to this, just started happening all of a sudden! The fuel pump change was done over a month before this.

Plattsy, Im going away for the weekend this week sorry :( let me know how you go with it all and we might catch up next week if you're free ... might swap TPS's and AFM's and see if it changes anything - although if both of ours are screwed up, it wont help :P

when my afm was stuffed it would go into what felt like rich and retard( like hitting a wall etc ) at high rpm, then it only went in limp mode after a hard thrash. so not really broken or not mine was in the between

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
