So, I've had an interesting week or so.

When my car was started from stone cold; it had no issues. I could drive to work, leave the car all day, then drive home again.

If I stopped fill up, or go & do some shopping, then restarted the car; initially, it would randomly stall at idle, and throw a CEL code; P0100, which is the AFM. It did it once, then not again for several days. Reset code; no issues.

If restarted, the car would drive normally. Progressively over a week or so, it would stall more regularly on a hot restart.

Then t would throw the light immediately at hot start, and when you accelerated, it would get to 2200rpm, and start stuttering as if the AFM was disconnected.
After a few minutes of driving it would behave as normal.

I replaced a very dirty air filter, but no real change.

Cleaned AFM; no change.

It occurred to me, that on my Informeter; if the intake temp was above approx 35-40 deg; the problem would manifest, and it started doing the same thing if driven in traffic, and the Intake temp rose to the set level.

Eventually, the CEL would not reset, but as long as the Intake temp was around ambient or below 35 deg, the car would drive perfectly.

Replaced AFM with the spare I had from Scotty (for just such an occasion) reset CEL; issue hasn't reoccurred.

Very strange.

Can anyone with an Informeter tell me what their AFM reads when the engine is NOT started? Just with the key in the ON position?

Mine is roughly 1.02v even before being started. Settles around 1.47-1.50 at idle.

Cheers guys, hope this helps someone. I've never seen an AFM fail in such an unusual and random fashion.

Yep, it sounds about right at 1v. The afm can actually read reverse airflow down to 0v.

Hey mate, thanks for that. :worship:

Can you put me on the list for a replacement when you have some? I'll forward some cash to you in the next couple of days. ;)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
