Hey guys - just wondering if someone in the south east has the consult cable / program to check error codes and an r32 / rb20 AFM so i can check if mine is effed :D

6 pack of your favourite beer for your troubles :D

p.s. I'm in Box Hill so somewhere close by would be awesome!

think we are having a similar problem........... mine will run fine, then after a while of driving at normal temp it will hunt while idling stall as i stop, hesitate when i press the throttle....... skylines eh!? like i said mate ill have my consult cable and ecutalk or similar installed by tom arvo, if you wanna head down sunday or something maybe we can help each other out! 2 heads are better than one i say!

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 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.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
