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!

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
