havnt cleaned the airflow meter.

when i did the spark plugs all the electrical plugs seemed fine, what exactly should i be looking for tho? and what is AFM?

Changed the fuel filter, and cleaned my air filter but ill buy a new one 2moz.

I didnt reset the ecu after doing the new spark plugs, but did it before hand to hope it fixed it before doing the spark plugs and also took it for a spirited drive.

Just to make sure, to reset the ecu, you unplug the - terminal off the battery, press the brake a few times and turn lights on for a few minutes, then wait 30mins and reconnect. correct?

hmmm...

AFM is Airflow meter. CAS is Crank angle sensor.

Reseting the ECU should only need, disconnect, pump the brake for 30secs, reconnect but you can leave for longer or overnite etc if you wish.

Just check for dirty or bent contacts etc...

even try jiggling wiring while it's running too.

Try diconnecting each coil 1 by 1 and see if it stops it. It will only be running on 5 cylinders at a time but if one of your coils is goosed the chugging shouldn't happen when disconnected.

haha i feel so dumb bout asking the AFM now, i should have put 2 together LOL!

ok well ill look on the forum on how to find and clean the AFM and CAS, and tomorrow ill reset the ecu and put in a new air filter, ill make sure the tyre's are straight because i've been warned about the HICAS.

Just curious to why resetting the ECU would fix this, and should i do that everytime i fit parts?

Im quite new to most this mechanical work, ive only done a few things before, so i apologise for my lack of knowledge, but im learning :D i love SAU!!!

It's all good mate. SAU is a bottomless pit of Knowledge. :thumbsup:

I am an Eternal n00b myself but always learning. :D

ECU reset can be a good thing with new mods but isn't really necessary and can fix things (sometimes).

Example... In my 94 Bluebird, it had a weird thing going on which I was told by a mechanic was my injectors packing in.

I had it to a different mechanic who diagnosed and fixed a leaking intake gasket but the weird lumpiness was still there.

I Reset the ECU and suddenly the weird lumpiness was gone.

CAS I would unplug and clean the contacts but don't unbolt or remove it unless you have a timing light and know how to use it. :P

no timing light so ill just clean the contacts, ive looked around this forum and google, but i dont know where the CAS :( im planning to go down and get some Contact cleaner tomoz and clean the AFM + New air filter so hope it helps cause im running low on $$$

to get to the coil packs in a rb25de, i have to remove the intake manifold as stated in the link below, unless your talking about a different way :S

wasnt too bad, but if i was to do that, id have to unplug a coil, put it back together and do that for each coil, its alot of work, but as we speak, im cleaning the AFM as it was filthy! really filthy! and changing oil, plus ill add more fuel and octane booster and injector cleaner through

Hell yeah, sounding so much better now :D so far on the car i have changed the oil, cleaned inside the filter box (fair few leaves and foam from off the air intake, was so surprised), new air filter, cleaned the AFM which was bloody filthy, added extra fuel with octane booster and injector cleaner, new fuel filter, new spark plugs, new battery.

So tomorrow ill be taking it to the servo and full tanking it. its currently on 3 quarters and a half. but hoping that little bit more fuel, makes the chugging disappear completely,

If it all works well and the car is fixed, ill be making a donation to SAU, as every detail that came from this site was so helpful! i applaud you all!! :cheers::thanks::thumbsup:

Good to hear the AFM clean helped!

Should also point out - 34 GT's ad GT-T's DO NOT like any form of modifications on factory ECU's - they'll retard the timing and run fat as soon as they detect any increase in airflow.

Other than this, splitfire are a damn good way to go regarding coils - spend the money and get the good stuff, you won't be sorry.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
