Some time ago my Rb25 S13 started having an issue. It was idling higher than it usually would. Driving at a high rpm felt like I was getting barely any power. I posted on reddit and a lot of people said it was most likely a vacuum leak. So I did a carb cleaner test and looked for one everywhere and couldn't find anything. I was also told I should clean the IAC valve so I did that and nothing changed. Then I noticed the maf wire was laying on hot parts of the engine and it was burned badly so we bough new wire and a new maf connector and soldered all that together (I think I did it right but I could have done it wrong). Doing this did not fix the problem. I was then told we needed a new maf so we bought one for pretty cheap ($16 or 23.16 Australian dollars) and put that on the car and still nothing. It is still acting the same. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I'm at a loss. The link below is the most recent video of the car.

Never seen a AFM that cheap so it could be a fake.

Either way, you could try cleaning the Idle Air Controller on the back of the intake plenum, this often gets all 'carbed up' and starts to stick.
If you very carefully remove it (without dropping the screws and losing them forever) and tear it down, put some gloves on and clean all the surfaces with CRC MAF Cleaner and reassemble.

Another issue could be a faulty CAM angle sensor.

What year is the engine?

I did clean the Idle air controller and I think the year is 89. I’m having the exact same issue as someone else and his ecu got shorted out when the maf wire got burned. So we ordered a new ecu. If that doesn’t work out I’ll look into the cas.

    • Cheers fellas, I got a price for a r33 gtst box was 1500 including post and thought it was too cheap  
    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
