Rb20det Problems. Afm?

[honour]

Hey everyone, how are ya?

Couple of months back i bought a 1992 R32 GTST. Had a problem of it sometimes cutting out throttle power, and sometimes even stalling. The last few days it's been really playing up, in that it is doing it much more often, and stalling more frequently. The guy i bought it from said he had the same problem from time to time, but just wiggled the AFM wiring, and all was ok after that. This seemed to work ok, but i decided to take it to the auto elec to get the faulty wiring fixed. They tell me there's no problem with the wiring. Could it be the AFM itself? I've got a few prices on AFMs, but dont really wanna dish out the cash if there's something else to check first.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Scott.

Thanks heaps Kristifa, i'm in SA though, but thanks for the offer.

Also, i forgot to mention, when the problem occurs, it wont let the revs go above 2500rpm. Did you have this problem Jason Crannage?

Thanks guys.

yeah either your afm is no good or bad connections.. may not be worth buying another afm if it ends up being some built up crap on your plug or dodgy wires..

i had power cutouts every now and again and shit throttle response...

cut the silicone on the plastic cover on the side of my AFM and got my mate to resolder the connections inside, they have been known to crack and become britle over the years and make the car run shit.....

bit of solder and no more problems.... cheap and easy

silicone it back up when your finished
