hey guys,

today i started up the 1992 r32 gts-t, its stock with boost gauge and boost controller cat back exhaust, anyways, the car idles erratically and rev limits at around 2500rpm? how do i fix this asap? i've read elsewhere it could be the AFM or soemthing? any advice or a how to fix would be much appreciated.

also before this issue began my RPM gauge would go mental and turn completely past the redline, the revs don't change just the actual gauge itself, r these issues related??

Thanks

posted a video on youtube of the problem so so you can exactly what im talking about.

Definitely sounds like AFM. Unplug it and see if the car runs the same.

Try this:

car wont run without the afm matey but yeh it definetely sounds like it they do weird things depending on how low the voltage in them has gone just get a replacement one they are pretty cheap second hand for around 100 u should find one under. u havent tinkered with anything while the car has been laying there idle?

ok so heres an update, i started it up this morning and it was fine again? wtf, it first happened while i was going through a round about in 3rd gear, got out from the round about and the gear started limiting at 2500rpm so i pulled over and while the car was rolling (still running) i gave it a rev and it fixed itself, drove it home with no issue, then the next day went to start it and it was limiting as i drove up the block it hit 2.5k rpm and started like bunny hopping so took it home, left it, started it up in the arvo was fine, no issues. then as of now, this morning, is all good again??? could the wiring be short circuiting or is my afm dying?? as of right now i just drove it and its fine...only reason i ask about the wiring is because in the 1 - 2 weeks that ive owned the car, the window reg died (replaced it), the rpm gauge goes mental and last time i touched the heater i couldn't turn it off >< lol so i had to bash it then it turned off lol...any thoughts?

There is probably a bad solder joint inside the AFM. If you have a soldering iron you can crack it open and repair it using the How To on here somewhere. If not you will have to replace it.

?? Mine starts with the AFM unpluged, but it idles at like 1300rpm and limited to 2500rpm. Have I got a vacumm leak or something?

if it won't run without the afm then you have another problem

r32's definitely will run without one, i drove about 5kms without one when my cooler pipe let go (exploded out of the car and into the bush, never saw that one again

      Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

      Should be able to source 200 cell R32 cat... unsure how easy it would be to get it to Malta though.

      I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
