Hey guys, so the R32 GTR is:

Moving all over the rev range

Stalls if you dont give it some revs

Smells like fuel, running rich

Things Ive done but will try again,

Plugs

Coilpacks

Ignitor

Can dead AMF's or o2 sensors do this?

Does anybody have other suggestions, im unfamiliar with RB26's

Thanks in advance

atmo bov? might be causing it, that would be the most obvious thing if you have one

if your car has a stock ECU try resetting it, might help

Standard BOV and ECU has been reset a number of times

Check all pipes, you might have blown a intercooler pipe off.

Been over all of them.

should try a known working afm?

Wish I could get my hands on some easily. Would faulty AFM's fit the problem?

Really need a consult device plugged in, should be getting about 1v at idle on each AFM.. I can't see O2 sensors as the culprit, as the ECU runs closed loop while the engine is warming up.

Could be a intake manifold leak, If you have a spray that is alcohol based like brake cleaner or aerostart (WD40 should be suitable too) just spray it around the throttle body gaskets and the intake manifold gasket, if the engine responds then you've got a leak there.

How long have you had the car? and when did this start happening, was it something you did mechanically or someone that developed on its own?

AFM Voltage varies from 1-1.7V as revs quickly change from 950rpm to about 1800rpm. The AFM voltage is not stable at all and is all over the place.

I gave it a spray and I swear it did it once, but hard to tell if it was just the car reving on its own or actually sucking in through a leak.

Ran and drove the car in Japan, idled fine no real issues. Got it home and its been doing it ever since

Took the AFMs out and gave them a good clean with come AFM cleaner. Car has come slightly better and now idles on its own (just), it was defiantly part of the problem, but still hunts revs from about 1800rpm down to 950rpm but doesnt stall. It does this like clock work, consistently up and down.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
