Ok I am on my 3rd afm in 6 months..

New one arrived in post today plug it in and it idles for a bit then stalls. Give it gas it cuts out.

I tried putting the 2 blown ones in and the car goes into limp with them in.

I doubt this part could of died with 0 run time.

I'm in ramsgate sydney, does anyone have an m35 I can bring this new afm too, so that I can test to see if the part is or isn't faulty?

Tried the fault code thing I can't get it to work. Or my cel is blown.

Did you do the ECU reset between trying the AFMs?

I can read your codes / erase them. I can also Log the AFM volts to see if it spikes or does anything abnormal. Only one other car I have seen did this, and it has been running fine for a while now using one AFM after going through 3 or 4 in quick time.

Simple things to check would be the connection, and a visual inspection of the wiring loom, and ECU plug. Make sure your AFM is sealed neat on the back of the airbox, and the filter is placed in so crap isn't getting by it.

I'l try it in mine.....Alex is 1 minute from my house too so you could kill 2 birds with one stone.

Will have to be quick though because both of us are off to PI next wednesday for a week!

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
