R32gtr Problem And Its Getting Worse!

[nonickname]

can anybody please help? my car has now developed quite a bad misfire under any condition, it almost feels like someones turning the igition on and off? i was told air flow meter. any other options? ive had a look at all the coils and they dont look cracked, also the car was plugged in at nissan this time last week, they found a loose wire on the afm plug, fixed it and it went smooth again but seemed very sluggish to me. now its misfiring badly. does everything show up on a consult check or can things be missed? also is there anyone in victoria you guys would recommend other than nissan (who dont seem to know f**k all! :laughing-smiley-014: )

What other symptoms does your car have? It's probably something simple....

If it's misfiring under boost then it could be spark plug gapped to big or coil packs need replacing. If one of the afm's are dying then you'd notice it stalling sometimes, and hesitating sometimes....

There is a sticky with recommended workshops you should look at, but I'd recommend Racepace in Bayswater if you want a GTR expert.

cheers for your reply, it started with a few coughs at idle and the odd mis when driving, nothing major. then it was stalling and it would try to recover and hold at about 1300rpm, took it to nissan and a wire on the afm plug was broke, they fixed it and it ran smooth and no more staling etc. now about a week on this seems related but different. first noticed it waiting at red light when it decided to idle between 100-200rpm didnt stalll but didnt try to recover either. gave it some gas n it went away. knew something was wrong though so all week i have just been taking it easy now its cutting in and out all over the place from a little misfire to fully cutting out for a second? did it the whole last 5 mins that i drove it tonight. so shes retired from being the work taxi for now;) also note the car has no mechanical knocks, taps etc

boost leaks dont show up on consult, neither do blown headgaskets, dodgy wiring, you get the point

if used properly it can rule out a lot of things though. best to get ur hands on a consult cable and do it yourself (then u can post logs etc here, as well as check fault codes)

ok took the day off work! pulled out both afms, they looked fine but resoldered them anyway and also took out all the coils and sealed the outsides with the selleys 401 silicon. put it all back together and the car goes good as new, so cheers heaps for your help!
