ok i hav replaced distributor cap n rotor, leads, plugs, fuel filter, crank angle and mass flow meter and the problem just gets a lil bit better but a lil diffrent at the same time. now sometimes it will run like a dream a but as soon as the engine is under load i can smell unburnt fuel real bad now occasionally while idling it kinda drops tryna stall n if i accelerat itl run like shit with a tinge of black smoke but after sum reving will come right again. in this last day or 2 iv been just driving along and it dies acceleration doesnt work , stinks of fuel until it stops then after a min will start and drive no problem until it decides 2 happen again completely at random....anyone please got any ideas im about 2 maybe replace the power transistor next 2 the distributor as iv noticed it getting rather hot but iv only had it six months and just cant seem 2 get it running smooth all the time

kia ora, Could be a vacumn or leak in the intake manifold, try reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery. Is it turbo? or, lowered.

AAC valve could be dirty causing ECU to richen up

Cold idle sensor

If it's a A, C or R chassis and lowered you could have stripped a few wires under the front guards.

Cheers

hey bro nah non turbot not lowered..yet do you think it would be a leak seeming it all happens so randomly its had these random problems since i got it the old fulla i got it off had no clue what was wrong all iv modified is replaced leaking exhaust manifold with extractor/headers its got me f**ked

Similar to my 25de problem, but at the same time completely different, mine doesn't blow smoke nor does it smell of unburnt fuel! I agree with above maybe try checking for a vacuum/leak in the intake manifold??

yea like 80% of the time it runs sweet goes hard but then it does it n seems 2 lose power round 4000rpm kinda lags its so intermittent n random makes me think its a sensor rather than leak. im up every day early hours pissin round wv it its shit. i got a bosch afm 4 mine from my x sparky seems 2 work fine. and try that link just above your 1 4 your kar there heaps ov info on thea.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
