Well for the past two weeks my car has had this problem... At first I thought it was the AFM, so i checked it with 2 different ones to no avail. So o then thought it was a connection problem in the loom plug, but last night, Me and Hippy tested all the connections with a multimeter and we found that they were fine (eventually).

So now im at the stage to think the ECU is buggered :D So ill be trying a new one tomorrow to see if that fixes it.

However what has got me really confused is that sometimes the car runs fine, revs perfectly, and about the other 95% it runs like crap. Could it still be the ECU even though the problem goes away and comes back???

Sooo confused....

Well i went to see Boosted (member from SA) and we found the problem, faulty plug, aswell as a maybe fried ECU.

Will find out on monday or tuesday whether the ECU is fried... Diagnostic comes up with AFM circuit. ITs not the AFM, its been changed 3 times..

Hehe cleaned it many times with contact cleaner. Guys its a biggish problem. The last 2 weeks its been happenin ive tried everything. Thanks for your suggestions...

I have no idea how the ECU may of fried....

My logic to this is: Today tried a new ECU, the car still didnt work. We then put pressure on the plug which connects into the AFM, and the car would be good, take pressure off and its stuffed again.

So then i put my original ECU into the car and put pressure on the plug and it wouldnt work...

So yeh thats why we think the ECU is buggered aswell.

I had a strange thing happen with my AFM quite some time ago when the FMIC was fitted.

When first starting her up she was lumping as if it had a huge arse cam in it.. Lots of black smoke out the arse end.

Tried to rev her up and it was a real flat not wanting to rev type rev. Pulled the AFM off put it back on and did the same.

Slapped a R33 AFM on and it was perfect no problems. Then after the tune we slapped my AFM back on and it was ok.

My guess was a dodgy plug.

Yeah theres something about those plugs cause that power steering fluid prob was not the only one I had. I almost felt like it had a wire loose inside. Fortunately i have not had a problem for some time now......................touch wood.

      Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.

      1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
