So, I've had an interesting week or so.

When my car was started from stone cold; it had no issues. I could drive to work, leave the car all day, then drive home again.

If I stopped fill up, or go & do some shopping, then restarted the car; initially, it would randomly stall at idle, and throw a CEL code; P0100, which is the AFM. It did it once, then not again for several days. Reset code; no issues.

If restarted, the car would drive normally. Progressively over a week or so, it would stall more regularly on a hot restart.

Then t would throw the light immediately at hot start, and when you accelerated, it would get to 2200rpm, and start stuttering as if the AFM was disconnected.
After a few minutes of driving it would behave as normal.

I replaced a very dirty air filter, but no real change.

Cleaned AFM; no change.

It occurred to me, that on my Informeter; if the intake temp was above approx 35-40 deg; the problem would manifest, and it started doing the same thing if driven in traffic, and the Intake temp rose to the set level.

Eventually, the CEL would not reset, but as long as the Intake temp was around ambient or below 35 deg, the car would drive perfectly.

Replaced AFM with the spare I had from Scotty (for just such an occasion) reset CEL; issue hasn't reoccurred.

Very strange.

Can anyone with an Informeter tell me what their AFM reads when the engine is NOT started? Just with the key in the ON position?

Mine is roughly 1.02v even before being started. Settles around 1.47-1.50 at idle.

Cheers guys, hope this helps someone. I've never seen an AFM fail in such an unusual and random fashion.

Yep, it sounds about right at 1v. The afm can actually read reverse airflow down to 0v.

Hey mate, thanks for that. :worship:

Can you put me on the list for a replacement when you have some? I'll forward some cash to you in the next couple of days. ;)

Thanks. A customer did some bartering with me. :)

Mobile friendly, shopping cart, built in postage calculator. Now I have to find the time to insert all the product data. :/

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Alright. Exhaust has been looked at, and booked in 'soon'. I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be as good as possible but I'm going to go with it anyway. If I get a reasonable thing that works for 10 years I mean that's twice as long as I've lived with the current one. I have a more pressing issue. I have fixed my MPVI3 (by buying a new one). Excellently, one can wire in analog 0-5v inputs to the ECU itself. I had wideband already via Serial so I also wired it in via the direct input. The idea being I can use the standalone logging without a laptop and have Wideband data in it. The other wire I thought I'd use oil temp. This is where I've gone crazy. HPTuners requires you to implement a formula so you know how much volts = how much temp. This seems relatively simple to me. However I cannot find the scale for this anywhere on the internet, nor decipher how to figure it out without removing the sensor from the car. All I know is that voltage actually goes up as temperature goes down. I am using the actual gauge, so I can see what the temp is. The signal wire has been branched off into the MPVI3. EXAMPLE: 2.68v = 58C 2.7 = 57C 2.74v = 56C 2.8V = 54C 3.06V = 49C 3.18V = 47C 3.37V = 43C I think the gauge is 50-150C. It may be more. It may be less, because I can't find it for the love of f**k. It appears all the information about the gauges I have has been scoured from the internet, but the sender is VDO 320.021 I believe the resistance chart is this How the f**k do I convert this to a voltage? Once I have a voltage... I then have to perform this transform of said voltage to show it in the scanner: https://www.hptuners.com/help/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm @GTSBoy you're probably my only hope here TEST YOUR MIGHT

      Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol.

      Hmm. I had a good look (w/o searching, because I'm not logging in) and couldn't see it either. I distinctly recall the thread, not many weeks ago. It must have been removed or perhaps put into the back section. If it was in Off Topic you should at least have been able to search it up. So if I'm not hallucinating, it is fairly decently removed.
