i got this weird prob with my 32

it seems to misfire when i rev it and idle is pretty rough when i have the filters fitted, took the filters off and it ran all smooth

the filters are new and the afm i am running are MINES afms

what brand of filter? it sounds like maybe.... (if its a wet/oil soaked type air filter like K&N) that a bit of the oil is being sucked through the afm and messing with the readings. causing rough idle/missing etc..thats my 2cents anyway

If it was wet type, he'd still have the problerm after removing the filters, is sticks on there, if it was sucking that much in, he'd have to drown the filters in oil...sure he isnt that silly ?

Give the sensor in the AFM a clean with some CRC and reset your ECU.

Running a tune ?

Air leak somewhere perhaps?

Also. Straight 5-56 CRC lubricant isn't a great idea.. everything sticks to CRC. proper way to clean an airflow metre is to take it off the car, get CRC Mass Airflow Sensor cleaner. Clean it, let it dry, and put it back on.

Maybe try borrowing someones filters to put on? Doubt it's the filters though, but that will rule that out. If that doesn't work, maybe borrow their AFM's and see if that fixes it... Just eliminate possibilities

well cars are just weird, i changed the spark plugs over with new ones seems all good now. (old ones were black)

btw im running powerfc do i need to retune since i got MINES afms?

hmm its possible the ecu may need a retune. if it comes back start at the cheapest options and work your way up from there, as stated earlier borrowing parts is a cost effective way of eliminating potential causes.

    • Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.
    • So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size
    • Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
    • Aside from the fact it is likely fuel related if it is black, the symptoms otherwise sound like worn valve stem seals. Oil gets past the worn seals when the engine is off and burns when the engine starts. If it happens on deceleration while driving (puffs of white smoke) that is another valve stem seal symptom because oil gets sucked form the head into the combustion chamber under vacuum with the throttle closed. They can be replaced in the car if you have some way to keep the valves closed while working (eg compressed air into cylinders) but is much easier with head off.
    • Alright, fair enough. Expected as much. Possibly, yes. However the kit is apparently not including every single hose and it is out of stock too.
