Hey guys

I've recently been having some troubles with my S1 33 N/A after my dad decided it would be a good idea to spray under my bonnet with water..

Since then, the car's not reving over 2000 RPM whilst in drive. (It revs fine when in park or neutral)

I've heard that it could possibly be my AFM but wanted to get more opinions first, could anyone help me out please?

Cheers.

But honestly, if it's water related, half the time letting it just sit and run at idle for ages (Talking like an hour or so depending on water build up) will help to dry the water out and let it run better.

Even better if you can do it outside on a hot day with the bonnet up in the sun.

have a look down the side of your spark plugs/coils, probably has water in there

Take of coil cover check for water in each plug likely to be some in there around the coils.

nah...this would cause it to run like a sack of balls....

Yeah still not sure what's wrong, i mean it idles fine and everything, but as soon as i put it in drive it won't rev over 2k..

I did replace the AFM with one which was said to be working.. So either it's another problem, possibly the wiring to the afm??

or the replacement afm i bought is also dodgy..

What I understand so far;

You own a r33 with a rb25de

You have a auto trans

Only revs pass 2k in park and neutral

You already replaced the afm

My questions are;

This a Zenki or Kouki?

The afm new or used?

Have you pulled the coils and plugs out?

Have you looked at the connection to the afm?

Did you check you ignitor on your cover?

Have you checked the fluid level in your trans? Color right?

Checked your trans computer and main ECU?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
