car is stuffed

[hanyou]

ok really pissed atm havnt driven car since it has been choking frequently.. now that i have installed a bosch 040.. i couldnt even get out of my street it just kept jabbing itself and all this smoke was coming out of the exhaust and then idling up and down as if about to stall..

now i had this probelm already but not as bad so im thinking i installed the fuel pump wrong?.. cud that be the case?. the positive and negative terminals on the pump.. i have just put wire over the terminal and solderd it on. should that be ok?...

if it isnt my fuel pump what else could it be?. thanks

Save yourself the hassle and have it towed to a reputable workshop asap.

[hanyou]

yeah thats wat i was thinking..

[Wazz]

tried cleaning airflow meter?

[hanyou]

yeah i tried that already. ive got a z32 afm. however i cant put it in yet cuz i dont have the commander for my power FC to change the afm option... would it still work properly if i changed my afm to the new z32 without changing the option on the FC?

[Trust33]

blowing smoke!!air flow meter!

bit o blow by oil getting in the combustion chamber.

z32 needs a pfc..

[hanyou]

yeah i got ther power fc... jus not the commander... hahah so it wouldnt work jus chucking in the z32 aye?

[Trust33]

so i have read.

I noticed a few people mention air flow meter and cleaning it.......what does it mean when your car keeps leaking oil into the AFM in a GTST.......my cousins R32 GTST has this problem, it starts, but wouldn't move or rev well, AFM had oil in it.........

ANother thing i noticed, how bloody heavy are the GTST bonets!

[meggala]

have you checked your cooler piping it might have come apart

[Nozila]

if cooler piping has come loose it will want to and eventually will stall so i dont think its that.

[Wazz]

if you have cleaned the afm than try fuel filter possibly? when was the last time you changed it?

the first thing i would check is your wallet. if there is money in there, take your car to a workshop, have them sort this problem out.

[grigor]

Go to a workshop and watch over the mechanic's shoulder to gain some skills.

Zip ties in the tank, unbelievable wiring, sock......

[hanyou]

yeah damn the bonnet is heavy lol.. and yeah will do beer baron going to get it serviced at unique while im there..

I had this problem on the last 2 PFC's i had. I found if i went to the AFM settings and changed it to another AFM and change it back or even just go into the settings fixed the problem.

Agreed, I'd bet if you put a Commander on it, or Datalogit, you'll find it's got the wrong AFM setting. I had the PowerFC out of mine while doing some mods. On reinstalling it I found it had "defaulted" to another AFM setting... Damned odd.

[hanyou]

ive got a stock afm tho.. jus waiting to put in the z32 wen my commander comes from nengun.

[hanyou]

OK. took the car to UAS and yeah they fixed up my problem! (fuel pump install + spark plugs fouled)

anyways i still have one problem tho. now the misfire thing i had would just happen anytime the car felt like it (happned 4 times tonight) and then the next stop/slow down the idle would jus go retarded and stall. it would drop all the way to 0rpm and come back to 1000rpm then stall. going to give UAS a call tomo but i think theyre closed on sundays. so any help would be good! thanks
