hey, hope someone can help out, or at least point me in the right direction...

cut a long story short, had a bit of a race with some guy in an XR6 Turbo and when taking off I hit the rev limmiter...

now when the engine is idling it jumps between 1000 and 1500 (as in almost evey 2 seconds its at 1000 and the next 2 seconds at 1500)

wasn't to far from home so got home, let it have a bit of a rest and turned it on, as soon as i turned it on went striaght to 2000 for about 5 seconds then the revs start jumping between 1000 and 1500 again :)

any know what i might have done?

I have a Power FC, i guess thats most probably where the prob is coming from??

any help appreciated

yes it definitely could. Cause if it's drawing air , and it's not going through the airflow sensor, the air flow sensor won't read the correct amount of air going through.

But seeing it's before the air flow, the air flow sensor might have gotten dirty. Non filtered air = dirty air. Get it fixed + clean ur air flow sensor. It should work fine after that.

that was exactly the problem, a couple of my friends came round, removed AFM, and it was dirty...

so they cleaned it and she is running all good again!! was a bit worried I'd damaged something..

thanks for all the help!

    • Nah, you failed to pay your washer cover subscription and BMW have revoked your access.
    • Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.     
    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
