Rb25

i dont know if you all remember but i have been having all sorts of problems the last 2 weeks with my rb25. first up hunting issues ruff idle and not boosting properly. new air flow meter fixed these probs. except now it wouldnt rev from idle, hell spluttered and just didnt wannt go untill in boost then it run sweet. after new coil packs(i had some extras) spark plugs, new fuel pump, filter, new fuel tank and pick up pump i realised it just couldnt be fuel even tho blocking off the return line(cranking up the fuel pressure at idle) fixed the prob.

what was stupid is that i didnt realise this was a new problem i didnt have before, it finally came to me that it might be a freak coincidence i got another faulty afm just with different faults. so i changed back to my other one and the diff problems came on. but it revved good etc just didnt idle very smooth! changed back, idled nice but would revv from idle

Now my question, has anybody ever had this much of a problem with afm? is it quite common they stuff up?

Search - AFM+Solder in the DIY section.

also, use electrical contact cleaner to clean it.

MY friend is having the same same problem with his non mivec fto tried cleaning up a few of the sensors and seems to fix it, so far!

na i only got the other one like less that a week ago it just didnt do the symptoms till i was down the road because it had just been sprayed with throttle body cleaner(temporarily fixes it for some reason). so im just gonna go back and tell them they gave me a dodgy one. its the trouble with import stuff, sometimes it sits around for ages

do u have an oiled aif filter? if u do, try cleaning it again and get a non-oiled air filter and see if the problem persists.
