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.

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
