Hi,

I decided to pull my pod off and clean it a little then thought i should take my AFM and clean that a little too. I unplugged the cable on the side to remove the meter and put it all back together, then my car wouldnt start! It ignites and for a about a second it runs then just dies. My sensor sw/check on the power fc says the AFM has no voltage, sometimes it increases by .01 v but nothing more.

So I pulled it apart checked it all and put it back together, no difference.

Again, put the plug upside down and no difference.

I really hope i haven't fried my AFM!

Woops double post sorry!

Seeing as the signal loss from the AFM occurred when you ... removed the plug, I'd assume the loom is damaged around the plug area. Search for pin designations, and test for good ground, power etc.

Get someone to wiggle the plug while you check the hand controller, go from there.

What did you clean the AFM hot wire with?

EDIT: F5 before clicking submit, when will i learn.

I didn't actually clean the entire AFM, I brushed the intake side off. The plug is a weird looking one, it sorta sits and you screw it in and there are 3 pins the come from the cable to the AFM.

Ok played around with a friend and determined that the ecu is still receiving voltage from touching it with fingers (human electricity????).

Fiddled some more and fitted the plug in the AFM and received some voltage! Only .25 volts though and this wasn't enough to get the engine running.

I reckon the pins on the plug have bent or the AFM receiver isn't conducting well.

I'm trying real hard to not laugh :action-smiley-069:

At least this comment makes sense now :P

Get the soldering iron out.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
