Please help me !!!

Been having problems with my 32 gtr stalling and idle rough, spoke to mechanic at race pace and he thought it was an afm problem and showed me how to open sensors and switch menu on the power fc controller and no.2 afm would go to 0.1v and get a big black strike through it showing fault so I purchased second hand afm's to see if it was afm or afm wiring or connection somewhere, changed over afm's car has been good for a couple of weeks no sign of problem since fitting......today stopped on the way home for coffee come back to car won't start well cranks starts then stalls straight away, finally get her going after 5 or 6 trys, and get cat overheat light on dash and power fc controller is showing no.2 afm is not working, well 0.1v instead of 1.69v while driving, I tried wiggling the plug with the car on to see if it will alter idle, which is now rough as guts and it doesn't change, the one thing I noticed with the plug though was when you push no.1 plug on you hear it snap on and lock in place, no.2 doesn't do this its like it's bent up but I pryed the clip to snap shut and lock on and wiggle it still doesn't change. So my question is wtf

Is the 02 sensor or cat the fault? And if so why does it affect only one afm, is it wiring or connection ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Brad

Yep it highlights no.2 afm same as the first time on the power fc controller, I've got our auto elec from work is going to have a look at the first set of afm's for me, but as for the warning light that didn't happen the first time the afms played up so not sure if the same issue or not,

Could there be any other cause for the problem like faulty sensor or anything?

This problem has been haunting me for so long i just want to be able to fix it and drive my car somewhat reliably

Spoke to the guys at race pace today he said the cat overheat light is nothing to worry about there shit and they pull the sensors out or dash globes,just means the cat is hot could be some shit in there or faulty sensor but nothing to stress about and also suggested like bwrgtr swapping the afms round and just see what happens so hope to get this shit sorted

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
