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

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
