Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Bah, turbo on the CX-7 has shat itself, can only drive sub 2500rpm....applying throttle results in burning oil smoke out of the PCV :(

Anyone mechanics keen to do the swap-over? The turbo is at the rear of the engine and a real c%$t to get at, name your price :D

Rnr on Wednesday, can't wait to drive my car again, ants I don't know how you've waited so long

Its been 3 weeks for me and I'm dying lol. Ants has great patience.

I did however drive mine for 10mins this morning testing out the new brakes. Verdict, they need more bleeding lol

well I have limited time really. Patience as Scottie said also help but only to a degree.

Everything I do to my car I've basically wanted to do it like yesterday..............it never happens like that

Got a deadline to do my bits. Fuel pump, cam gears, AFM's and injectors need to be in by the time i finish RnR, booked in for a tune on the second day back from my next swing, so hopefully it'll be a whole new beast for... march.

Don't think the injectors have left the states yet though, so might not get them until I head back out to site. Good thing I left myself a spare contingency day.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
