We have had a bucket load of rain up here in FNQ and I had to drive through some fairly deep water.

After this under boost i think i sucked some water in as the car pulled back quite sharply and then went forwards again, like a big stutter.

Since then the car has started hunting very badly on the way to work, and when cold revs very high - over 2300 rpm.

Does this mean my AFM is probably buggered? I cant see any obvious vacuum leaks.

Idle control valve was cleaned fairly recently too, so i dont think its that.

Problem seems to get a lot better once car is warm.

Is there anyway to fix a z32 AFM, this one is quite new and I dont want to buy another one already.

Thanks

I guess its always a possiblity but you would think it would take some serious rain for it to get sucked into the intake. Best bet would be to go to your local Nissan workshop and get them to do a diagnostics check. Errors will show up for AFM if it is buggered.

Haha serious rain... have you seen the news lately? Areas up here have been getting 400-700mm in a 24hr period. It has been absolutely pouring.

I will check powerFC voltages... I forgot I could do that.

Cheers

      High temp brake fluid?

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
