R32 Engine Problem

[lows_13]

If it is the AFM, can these pins be visually seen to check if they're broken?

Another vote for AFM. My car has the same problem and I used a consult cable to diagnose.

A reasonable way to check (that helped me) was to leave the engine running, then press your finger onto the AFM plug. One of mine was fine, the other one almost caused the car to stall.

After reading the post about how the plugs are simply soldered to the PCB, perhaps me pressing down was unhelpful...?

id say spark or fuel hahaha u need both for the car to run*duuuuh

without taking it for a drive, the first things i would check would be

coilpacks/ignition loom /ignitor & plugs

DOUBT it would be fuel related but if it is it sounds electrical, not like ablockage i.e. fuel lines/filter.

a dodgy sensor would do it i.e. AFM - may even be boost cut related?

hard to tell, with what mods have been done to the car etc. but yeh the things that everyone mention are definitely the most common. Id start with the ignition side of things.
