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. ;)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
