Hi guys

i was driving my R32 the other day and was giving it abit and hit a small bump in the road which lifted the car abit which made the RPM's spike over 9000rpm. then i heard a puff sound and looked back and saw lots of black/grey smoke. then the car stalled.

i pulled over at that stage and tired starting it. which it idle at 2rpm and then stalled seconds later. so im thinking i blew the engine.

got the car towed home and did comp test which came up good. range of 135-145psi which i had at start of the year.

recently i been having problem with my Z32 afm. would the cause the problem of the car stalling and ideling high?

cheers

check you diddnt also blow a cooler pipe or similar..... sometimes an easy way to check is to unplug your afm then try and start it

checked all the piping all good. how would the car run without the afm pluged in?

Did you solder the Z32 wiring plug yourself or do something dodgy like only twist the wires together? The non-standard idling could be the AAC needs cleaning

the Z32 wiring was done by a auto elec...

would the ACC stall the car?

it may not be the afm wiring but the actual internal pins of the afm which need soldering.

your car lifted off the ground then landed?

that would be enough of a jolt to crack solder joints on an old AFM.

search these forums for SOLDER+AFM to see the DIY on how to fix it.

when mine started playing up, the symptoms were.

1.) idle go from 300 to 2000, then back, then up, then back etc.

2.) and when I get it to drive, it would not boost or go over 2000rpm.
