akeenan Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 The best results can be achieved only after the computer has been reset and it learns a new fuel/timing map! yes thats what I was going to remind everyone to do reset ur batteries!

MEGA I still dont believe reseting the comp does anything as the comp is consistantly getting info from the sensors and learning!

MegaGTS4 Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 INASNT, I could explain it to you but its better explained in these two links! http://www.overflow.250x.com/tips.htm#reset (Dyno graph after ECU reset) http://www.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/tech/ecu_reset.html MEGA Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/5534-clean-your-airflow-meter/page/2/#findComment-90185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I've been told the mesh is there,,,,not only to stop any crap getting through (stuff if I can work out how any crap could get through anyway) but also to make the air-flow swirl....I've also cleaned my Meter with carby cleaner,,,,worked a dream.... INASNT,,,I'm with you,,,,After my better 1/2 has ***** footed the car for a day,,,resetting it and then driving it seems to make no difference.....Maybe it does,,,, but such a small increase in power is not really noticable.

_turtle_ Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 took apart the airbox and afm today, only to find that i couldn't find the bloody carby cleaner in the garage!!! gotta go buy a can from super cheaps. wacked a pod filter back on instead of the air box. its a cheapo one, i fink theres a huge difference between brand ones and the cheap ones. my k&n use to give a huge induction noise. can't hear crap from this cheapy one. between the big names, there not much difference in performance, compared to the no names there is. sorry, its a bit off topic.

When i get my fmic on and s-afc retuned i am gonna reset the comp and see for myself if it does anything at all on the dyno. And whats with that dyno graph in the first link? its all over the show!

_turtle_ Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 how do u guys take the mesh part of the afm off? just rip it out? also, i reset the ecu lastnite, went for a long cruise. i don't think it does anything either. or perhaps my car is running ok so i don't notice any difference.

teka Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 No he means brake cleaner some of the guys at Audi told me about that, you can clean heaps of stuff with it (throttle bodies etc. even grease off clothes! as it leaves no residue ) It's almost like a dry cleaning agent.
