i cleaned the air flow meter and tested it the car started but with the same result black smoke and spluttering i also cleaned the (acc) aac valve what ever it's called looked fairly clean i removed the plugs and looked at them all of them had blak soot on them. do you guys think my afm is stuffed or somthing else irridums go in tonite

yeah.. I'd say 90% likely to be AFM. AFM controls idle mixtures, so if it's buggered will blow a heap of black smoke, idle irregularly, etc.

A clean might not be enough to fix it. You'll have to try swapping in another one and see if that fixes the problem.

I wouldn't bother with the irridiums, and save the dosh towrds the possible new AFM... that is unless you really were thinking of putting irridiums in anyway.

hey all. i have the same problem with my GT-R32. it happened all of a sudden last night, so i did a search to see if i can self diagnose the problem my self.

on cold idle its fine, but after a few mins it starts to spalter around 500-800 RPM, with black smoke out the exhaust. is this the same problem? and to fix it, is this the same?

thanks

chears mate... im not into all this mumbo jumbo stuff... but im learning, and for a muscle head like me, i think i know a little.... i have twin airpods and im %99 sure i know where the AFM is located. and cause of the twin airpods, ill have twin AFM's right?

BUT as for the "air flow regulator," whats he look like, and where is he...?

i have wednesday off work, so i plan to pull it all apart give it a decent clean. and i am ment to use break cleaner. thats what its called right?

and as for the coil packs, and spark plugs, i plan to get a full survice done, oil filter relocation and cool kit fitted in about a week... just waiting on payday.

thanks for the help so far.

ok... get this.......

my car is still doing the same shat. so put it all back together, and left it for a few days. this morning i popped the hood, unclipped the clips that clip on the AFMs and started it up....

Fine. idles the same as before i had the problem.

i let it sit there and idle for a while, jumped in and took it down the street, BUT i couldnt get boost. is this because i unplugged the two plugs and it wasnt reading it???

any-way, i took it home, popped the bonnet, plugged in only one of the clips while it was still running, and the car started to idle real low again. then stalled about 3-5 seconds after plugging it in.

so i unpluggerd it, started it up, and plugged in the secnd. the same resault.

unplugged it, started it up with out the plugs in, and it was fine.

WTF is up with that? have my AFMs shot them selfs??? or have i shot them...

one more question.... whats the difference between an "Air Flow Meter", and an "Air Mas Meter" ??? they both measure the air that comes in right?

Air flow meter is more commonly known as being the kind that have the flap inside and the needle that reads the flap's position. Air mass meter is more commonly the hot wire kind that measures air as a mass. You have an air mass meter. They can be referred to as either but technically that is the difference.

all good now... last week, i had a few days off work, and had a decent look behind the front bumper, and to my suprise the intercooler plumbing blew off!!! yeah thats right - off!!! so i put it on, plugged in the AFMs and off i went.

that was a relife. i thaught i was going to fork out a couple of hunderd bucks to get something fixed which i could have done my self.... which in the end i done my self anyway.

thanks for the help tho.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
