i believe u can get whats called a marine grade resin cored solder...and i think i got it from bunnings or super cheap i think. Dont quote me on that though. maybe jaycar use dodgy stuff or maybe im full of shit...any sparkies on here who can clarify? Cause im sure cubes and myself only want the best for soldering in automotive wiring.

i'll have a look tomorrow and find out the brand and type we use at work, and even try and find out the supplier we get it from.

Ok so i wired it all up...pluged it in and changed the the air flow setting in pfc to 80mm vg30 afm. Now car starts but doesnt idle, just dies after firing up. What could the problem there be? This is on a s3 r33.

Check the afm signal in the etc -> sensor check.

My guess is the signal is zero. It should be around the 1.3-1.4v at idle. Well mine is.

With the ignition on without the car started, the afm signal should be some where around the 400mv. Once started, only then will it read 1.3-1.4v.

If you think the car is running too rich or lean you can fiddle with the % setting in the afm menu. Standard they should all be at 100, 100+ pumps in more fuel, values less than 100 pump in less fuel.

The car will start as it uses the cold start enrichment values to regulate the amount of fuel that goes it. That will allow it to start, the ecu then flicks over to the afm/load fueling.

thanks...yeh im pretty sure the reading was 400mv with ign on only. Dont know the idleing value lol cause it doesnt last long enough. Thanks for the extra info though....will be trying again tonite.
