Hi all,

Recently dropped an RB25 in my R32 & since first start has never run right.

Is overfueling a stupid amount on idle, (7ms injector pulse width) to the point where it cant be driven due to the amount of smoke & hunting issues (due to mixture I believe...) Thanks to this has been off road for months!

Runs best (but still not perfect) when cold-started but as soon as throttle is touched, even slightly & released, starts pouring smoke & idling like a POS!

Unsure of AFM signal voltage when cold & running half decent but I know after throttle has been touched & its started really putting the fuel in that the AFM signal voltage is around 2v+ on idle!

Basically just want ideas of what could cause voltage to be so high?

This is obviously telling ECU more air is entering the engine than what actually is & is causing my problem...

Things I have tried so far include:

*Swapping AFM

*Swapping ECU

*Checking AFM wires for short-circuit

*Measuring resistance of AFM wires back to ECU plug (& ECCS relay)

*Checking battery output voltage

*Checking all earths (battery, body, engine, ECU, etc)

Probably some stuff that Ive missed but will add later...

In the meantime if anyone has anything to add please help me out!

Am even willing to pay for correct information...

Yes, if you solve my problem I will send you money!

what ecu are you using? what afm? how did you buy the engine? reason i ask is that there is a posibilty that something isn't stock in the engine, such as injectors, which hasn't been taken into account.

also check the TPS voltage. if the tps is stuffed it will be sending a voltage to make the ecu think the trottle is open and therefor dumping in heaps more fuel than it needs to

Standard R33 ECU & pink label AFM. Bought the whole R33 a few years ago, stock as a rock... Due to this am running all R33 sensors, etc

Also drove R33 when I first got it & it ran fine... Then pulled engine out, it sat around for a year or more, then dropped it in my 32...

Have checked TPS voltage, all good

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
