Hey guys - just wondering if someone in the south east has the consult cable / program to check error codes and an r32 / rb20 AFM so i can check if mine is effed :D

6 pack of your favourite beer for your troubles :D

p.s. I'm in Box Hill so somewhere close by would be awesome!

think we are having a similar problem........... mine will run fine, then after a while of driving at normal temp it will hunt while idling stall as i stop, hesitate when i press the throttle....... skylines eh!? like i said mate ill have my consult cable and ecutalk or similar installed by tom arvo, if you wanna head down sunday or something maybe we can help each other out! 2 heads are better than one i say!

there are some things that make no sense in that thread

if the cat temp light is on or engine check light then why does ecu diag return no error? are you sure your doing it correctly?

fuel problems dont develop themselves and the main engine basically follows what the throttle and sensors do

ie the engine operates and the sensors tell the ECU how much fuel to use etc

not the other way around.

a f**ked TPS could explain some of the issues you have

as could a dirty afm so maybe consult is the best way

might be easier to just buy a consult cable - arent they like $50 ?

also what magically changed a week ago?

what else has been done to the car before this "week ago"

have you tried a simple ECU reset?

Hi Paul - I've cleaned the AFM thoroughly - reset the ECU as well. The EGT light NOW doesn't turn on since I took the ecu out for a diagnostic and found out the constant led on it wasn't on (made sure it was on when the ignition was on by turning the screw before i put it back in after the diagnostic and that has gotten rid of the EGT light.

So if the diagnostic doesn't return any codes, still worthwhile doing a consult check? Nothing was touched on the car in the build up to this, just started happening all of a sudden! The fuel pump change was done over a month before this.

Plattsy, Im going away for the weekend this week sorry :( let me know how you go with it all and we might catch up next week if you're free ... might swap TPS's and AFM's and see if it changes anything - although if both of ours are screwed up, it wont help :P

when my afm was stuffed it would go into what felt like rich and retard( like hitting a wall etc ) at high rpm, then it only went in limp mode after a hard thrash. so not really broken or not mine was in the between

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
