Rb25 Problem

[black25t]

ok, so i kno this has probably been covered before, but stuffed if i can find it! so i was driving thru a causeway the other day after all the heavy rain we have just had, there was about 10cm of water over the road and just after i got thru it, my car sorta died. i backed off and it came good again, but as soon as i put my foot down, the same thing happened. it seems fine when i just put the power on lightly, but under heavy acceleration it nearly throws me thru the windscreen. im thinkin maybe sum water got sucked up into the AFM, coz i have literally disconnected every plug to check if they were wet, but all good. sorry bout the long rant, but its really starting to annoy me and i want it sorted! if anyone has any ideas as to what has happened i would be really grateful for sum help

Sounds like AFM damage

Happened to me a while ago. took my afm and air filer out and got the air compressor on them, ran perfect

It kinda does sound like AFM damage, but i would have thought you'd need more than 10cm of water for it to get through the air filter.

Highly unlikely its a wet plug too . I hose my engine bay off all the time with no drama lol

its possible if everything not in good condition or plugged in properly. for example if a certain part of my main engine loom gets wet the car misses horribly until it dries up.....

as said check afm and make sure everythings dry
