hey guys i went down to see my car about 4 or so days ago and saw my car now they were moving the car in and out fo the factory each morining and night and so more as well, now i notice the air flow meter was not hooked up or there and the hose from the top cooler pipe to the waste gate was not there either, now i went down today and they siad it run out of fuel on idle and so they filled it up and now it runs crap and just stall and willnot cleanly rev like you hold it at 2500 or 3000 and it not like what is used to be and i have some noise in the area or my cams and timing case which i never had whole thing just sounds really bad ,now first the car shoulnt run whith out the af meter and no hose on the wastegate i could only imagine, now i spoke to my mechaninc and told him he siad could be a dead meter or fowed plug(s) or vacume leak , now it has a new hks cooler kit, so i am wondering has some one drivin my car and Ducked it

no for people who dont know i crashed my car and i stuffed my fmic and guard etc and some side panels 1/4 etc not pretty. now could a hard impact stuff af meter cause it did hit there and break a mount on my airbox, and bent cooler pipes and put holes in it .now is was dirty and dust grassy crap in my engine bay after accient from shrubs etc so could this have gotten sucked up and done bad stuff, the car was drivin about 5 or so ks to a friend place ,so could that have done something to anything.

any advice would be great just trying to figure out if the panel shop has stuffed my car

Are the intercooler pipes connected? Will not idle properly if they're not.

Is the AFM connected? Couldnt' work it out from your post. If its not, it won't idle/run properly.

I'd say in any case your plugs have been fouled.

dude, if you've had a bad front end smash do you really think its going to run ok?

Get the chassis fixed, then take it to a mechanicfor diagnosis. If you're claiming insurance, then this should be covered.

By the sounds of it, there are air leaks everywhere, afm isn't even plugged in, and all of your pipes are bent.......

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
