Sus Air Flow Meter !

[BOOZTJUNKEY]

as above I don't think it's normal for the car to die I thought the revs would just become unstable and go up and sown not just die ???

Any body know?

hey mate, I had an issue with my air flow meters not too long ago. The car would idle rough and sometimes stall but when you accelerate it would simply just die. (leaning out, not a good thing).

The best way is to just flash the codes if it has a standard ecu and it should tell you.

What cars it for?

Rb20det wit stock ecu yeah I'll run diagnostic tonight I just will be swapping the car this weekend and want the new owner to know what's wrong before I do

I suspect either the air flow meter or coilpacks I just replaced the cas and retimed the engine and when it gets it seems to feel hesitant under light throttle and has a bad sputter which may be caused buy one of the two things?

Ran diagnostic and flashed 55 so nothing sensor related the ecu has picked up on

I'm leaning towards air leaking after the air flow meter ? Would that cause these symptoms I can not really think of anything that would cause this problem apart from that

Did I read this correctly, you want to know whether unplugging the airflow meter will stop the car idleing? Usually yes.

Nah mate I wanna know if it should be stalling the car if I unplug it ?

From what i understand the ecu relies on the signal from the AFM to know how much fuel to chuck in the cylinders(for air/fuel ratios). So in answer to your question i would expect it to stall.

When I last cleaned out my intake with carby cleaner, pretty sure the following happened:

Disconnecting the AFM but leaving it plugged into the loom made the engine stall after a couple seconds, probably because ECU is aware of the AFM but getting weak to no signal.

Pulling out the loom too though, the ECU is getting no signal at all, therefore reverting to some sort of open loop mode and it should run roughly but not stall.

Ok thanks guys that's the info I was after :-)
