Need To Borrow An R32 Gtr Air Flow Meter.

[phat25t]

Hey Guys,

My car won't start (cranks but doesnt fire) and doesn't have anuy injector pulse. Was havin a chat to a mate who is an auto sparky, he said he had one that just needed a new air flow meter. Does anyone have a spare that I can use to test if that is the issue, I am south of the river and am off work monday to thursday and would like to get it sorted asap. Please PM me or call me on 0439955897.

Cheers,

Steve

2 x AFMs in a GTR

You reckon??? Come on mate I own a gtr, the chances of both of them being stuffed is unlikely so I was going to try the spare on both to see which one is stuffed.

R32's are old cars man.

What's your point man?

Before you just go changing out everything..

Do you have the original ecu in there? Checked fault codes, or hooked consult up to it to see if it was happy?

yeh it has the standard ecu, how do u go about checking for fault codes as I've never done it before. Had a sparky take a look at it last night who checked the cas and resistor and confirmed they are both fine. Apparently I have injector pulse it's just very weak.

[heller44]

I have a consult cable that can be used to interogate the ecu..

I have noticed that skyline injector pulses are very weak, the 33 I had a look at recently wasn't happy in the same way, turned out to be an earthing propblem, same thing, been left for ages not used, went to start it and it wouldn't go.

Yeh sounds like that could be the problem, so do you hook the consult cable up to the ecu or something? Sorry mate I don't know much about it. Did it specify where the earthing issue had occurred? If you can give me an idea what I have to do would it be possible to borrow it off you? I'm fairly close by in leeming.

Consult cable, along with a laptop or computer close by with some software to talk to the ecu can let you read the fault codes, if there are any, and check to see what sensors are doing what. Won't give you some thing like, tighten this bolt 'ere then eh.. but should let you see if the airflow meters are ok and responding, rather than just swapping every part of the car until you happen to touch something that is the actual cause of the problem..

I meant to check the earthing on the motor yourself, as that was the cause of this other car not starting.

I might be convinced to drag the cable and laptop around, considering you live about 2 suburbs away it shouldn't be that much trouble, but am a little busy at the moment.

I will check out the earthing tomorrow, see if I can find anything... Yeh if you could head up when your free mate that would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know where I can get a consult cable and have the link for the software I need?

id get a new auto sparky...injector pulse comes from the CAS. The AFM only adjusts the pulse width.

sorry...didn't read post 7...keep your sparky as he knows whats going on.

[phat25t]

Did a diagnostic on my ecu and came back with only code 55, which apparently translates to 'no malfunction'.

[PHATR32]

2 afms? isnt one afms like a backup incase the main afm stops working?

hey i got a couple of afms sitting int he shed, one plays up every now and then, not sure which one though.

your welcome to try them out.

Thanks dude, Ive checked them now they are both working so I'll keep trying to figure out what is wrong
