About a month ago my 96 GTR started to misfire only below 4K when just cruising around. When coming to a stop I would have to feather the gas to keep it running. This would only happen after hitting bumps, so I thought this was a clue. Took to the nearest Nissan dealer and had them hook the consult up. After about 5 minutes of standing around, she started to shutter a little. The top MAF through out an error code. Then noticed that when you moved the connecter for that MAF the engine would start to shutter again. Went home and got busy. Pulled off the connecter and noticed some greenish corrosion. Cleaned that off. I pulled the four screws to remove the male connecter portion on the MAF side. Sure enough, corrosion on connecters and soldering missing. I cleaned everything up and put it back together. She ran like a champ and only cut up every now and then, untileek.gif I decided to do a permanent fix on the MAF. I had found on this website where some guys had been removing the top of the MAF and resoldering the pins. So I did this, looks pretty good to. I put everything back together and started her up. Idled pretty good so I took her down the road an 8th of a mile, she was acting up bad, turned around a barely got back to the house. She went dead; I could smell the gas just pouring out of her, flooded so badly she wouldn't start. 24 hours later I decide to go back at her. Removed all the spark plugs, every last one was soaked with fuel and this is 24 hours later. I cleaned them up put back together then started her up. Same as the day before, idle good, got down the road, and barely made it back. Abouvisly she is flooding, could I have burnt the board on the MAF, got it too hot and now it's throwing out some really nasty info? I think I might have. Could the CAS/timing be moving around just after I pull away from the house? Someone is picking up some used MAFs for me this weekend. I'm just wondering. Is there something I missed plugging back up, could I have caused some connection to come loose somewhere? I have looked around, can't see anything. I have disconnected the battery completely and pressed the brake just for good measure. You guys got anything? If the MAFs don't work, and I pray they fix this, then she is going the nearest shop I can get her. Let me know what you think. I'm going to bed now.

Sounds pretty logical, you're probably on the right track with air flow sensors.

Reading more air than what is there, injects more fuel to suit, runs like crap, yada yada. Sensor is probably R/S, probably could have just started with a new one, but little fixes like that are always worth a go.

so i got some MAFs. now the car will not start, i cleaned the plugs, still not starting. i tested each coil pack by plugging a spark plug into it and then touching metal, looks to me like good spark. it's getting fuel to the cylinders. my next step is going to be removing the fuel from the gas tank and putting high grade into it. anyone have any ideas???

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
