yesterday my mate took my car for a spin and about halfway through the drive i noticed the car was having a problem down low. Once i got home the car was hunting at idle. I than disconnected the battery for the night and also tested the coils this morning and pulled out my plugs which were very carboned up. I than cleaned the plugs and also did a compression test with ok results and than put it all back together.

I than started the car with no difference whats so ever. I also replaced my z32 afm and recaled my emu to standard. I should note i cleaned out my aat valve about 2 weeks ago and was running fine. I than started the car and noticed idle was slightly better but not by much at all. I than took it for a drive were the car seemed to have issues going over 2000rpm. i than got it home and put some octane boost clean in the vehicle as we have had alot of water around and there has been rumours about water getting into fuel. I than let the car idle for about 30 minutes and found that the car became more responsive untill i went to go for a drive and found it would not accelerate at all. I managed to get it home and left the car sit for about an hour Now it wont even start it will fire up but than die. Any help for be very grateful.Thanks

I reinstalled the z32 afm and the car is running again but still very rough. It also seems to chewing the fuel as well i have a done a vac test around the engine bay and it doesnot affect it at all. I really hoping it something easy but im dreading it the engine

you only just put a bigger turbo, etc on didn't you? have you had a tune done yet? if not then it is probably running rich as anything and fouling up the plugs, and since you are running an emanage the ecu is probably still seeing excess airflow and backing the timing right off.

have you changed the injectors at all (or even just had them out)? may be that one isn't seated properly. could also possibly be a vaccum leak.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
