Calling My Fellow Skyliners From The Western Surburbs!


Recommended Posts

Hey mate,

I wouldn't post this up if I knew how to fix it... I know it's simple but really need some guidance...

Is there anyone from the Western suburbs that is willing to spend like 1-2 hours with me to help me fix this issue?

It'll be a good opportunity for a few people to catch up and then we go for some lunch this weekend or the next?

My just keepings stalling, and I think it's the AFM... please help... perhaps meet at my place, talk about our cars, fix my AFM issue then go to lunch which of course is my asking?

Explain the symptoms a bit more, and people on here will be able to help pinpoint exactly whats causing the issue :)

Thanks for your willingness to help mate.

Here is the issue more in details...

I am very keen to get this fixed as my Wife is going to use my car for work and if it does not get fixed... then it will be very hard for her taht's why I am very keen...

Thanks all!

u got pm. btw if it keeos stalling, do u have an atmo bov by chance? this could also be an issue

Hi mate, I've always had a HKS SSQ on my car - never had an issue until recently!!

I am betting on the AFM...

I got your PM - many thanks mate... if you could help it would be super!

Is it spluttering/cutting out then stalling?

Here is the first step: Get a can of CO contact cleaner, any repco has it, ask for it by name! When the car is dead cold(if the afm is hot it could f**k up), remove AFM, spray with CO contact cleaner, make sure it gets a good clean, alcohol based, dont touch the hot wire with any instruments, it will dry! Refit AFM, check all piping, and inlet piping, if symptoms persist which i doubt they will, refit standard BOV.

Check all wiring, especially earths. I honestly would take it too a mechanic.

The money you spend changing shit around could be spent getting it done right.

Thanks for your kind words, Ryan - you're right... I have spent thousands on mods... I guess 1 more on a good service plus to fix my car won't hurt... but I would like to exhaust all avenues first before I bring it to a mechanic... what you said is good and informative... but I think I'll just make it worst if I tried...

I'll keep everyone post on what I think will happen.

Clean before buying another... no point spending money on it if it aint broke.

Thanks bro, yeah... a mate from this forum is going to help me clean my AFM and get it resoldered... if it still occurs then, then gotta buy a new one.... but thanks so much mate!
