I know this topic’s been covered and seems to be an ‘Achilles Heel’ for the M35 but can someone please help me out with a query I have on this?
My question is, when I perform this procedure (Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning , Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning , Idle Air Volume Learning ), must the AFM be plugged in or can I successfully perform this relearn with the Air Flow Meter unplugged and then plug it in once successfully performed?
Here’s my reasons for this:
Sunday afternoon, driving in the city 50kms the car splutters, slows and stalls.
Tried to restart it – starts but very low revs in idle, black smoke, stalls when put in gear.
I unplugged the AFM – car starts, idles and drives although very poorly but enough to limp home.
Got home – plugged in a spare AFM – same issue therefore it appears the next step in diagnosing issue is the reset procedure.
Thanks in advance for your insights
