Hi all,

I couldn't find my prob in the search topics, although it probably has been covered. The car is acting like it has a massive induction leak somewhere, however I can't find it anywhere.

Basically what happened was as I had taken off from the lights in a quick manner and got to around 3000rpm, when suddenly I had no power (as if I had blown an intercooler pipe off or almost ran out of fuel). I backed off immediately and on deceleration and light acceleration everything acted as normal. Although the turbo builds pressure, as soon as it does the engine starts to die. I managed to get it home and began diagnosing when after 3-5ish mins the engine stalled and would not start again. This morning I went through and checked all of the pipes and connections on induction side for leaks. The car started as normal idled normally for about 3 mins then started idling rough. I cleaned the afm then tried again and achieved the same result.

So i'm not sure if its the afm (gave it a clean and no difference), bov stuck open, or something else. I use the car for work, so I am stuck without it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adam

Also, engine diagnostics give fault codes 0100 - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction and 1805 (don't worry about this one - brake pedal sensor mod). It had been giving 0171 - left bank lean for a while, but not now. FYI engine mods are pod filter, fmic, bov, boost cont, radiator, thermo's, plenum spacer, turbo back exhaust.

Sounds very much like AFM, & given the pod filter I'm not really surprised. But the AFM's do give problems to guys running totally stock, so could be just one of those things...

Recent thread (first thought to be blown turbo). http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/420866-m35-blown-turbo/page-2#entry6771732

Thanks Commsman. I just read the post and it sounds about right. I wouldn't mind borrowing someones afm to test just to be sure...if someone is nearbyish or hornsby area. I'll play around with the connections, etc now though and see if there is any improvement.

So, I cleaned the afm and tinkered with it a bit with no prevail so I ordered a new sensor from Nissan. Cost a painful $309 and 10 working day wait.

YIKES!

I bought one from Amayama for $112...
