Been having some troubles with my car in the last week or so - since the hot weather has started. Was at a carpark the other day and it stalled on me. Then Later in the day I was pulling up to a set of lights and it completely cut out, and again when I got home.

Firstly I thought I might have gotten a dud tank of fuel (always use BP Ultimate). The response from the engine on acceleration is very poor and it feels like it is down on power. I think the air/fuel mixtures are all over the place.

Yesterday I replaced the fuel filter and did engine diagnostics on the CPU and read 'code 12 - MAF Sensor Circuit' (air flow meter). So I think I am at the bottom of it now. Went for a drive last nite (cooler weather) and it didnt cut out like it did during the day.

I am going to fill up this avo so that will rule out the dodgey tank of fuel theory.

Does anyone know of any airflow meters for sale? Or anybody wish to meet up and swap AFM's to see if this is the problem before I go ahead and buy another one??

Cheers. Cal

      Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.

      Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)
