Ok was on way to work stop'd at servo left car running an when i came out it was about to stall so gave it a rev an now rev's WONT go past 2500rpm is this safe mode or something? What is the best way to dry out the AFM an if it's not that what else should i check? Please help guy's i am clueless! Cheers jamie.
Just checked the AFM connector an was very CLEAN an DRY. Would the whole AFM itself be fooked. When car is running an i disconnect the AFM plug nothing happen's revs still dont go over 2500 an when i pug it back on revs drop then pick up an still wontt go over 2500. Any think else i should be checking or should i try another AFM on my car?
I still havent traced the problem causein the zed to run like shit. BUT i took it for a lap round the block an noticed that when i accelerate the temp needle goes down up down up quickly an just flaps around the place. But sit's on normal op temp whilst on idle. Could the CTS be causin this problem. Any help would be GREAT.
IT WORKS IT WORKS Yep i unpluged the TPS an it was full of shit gave the teminals a reall good clean an WOOOHOO it's alive. Thank's for info K-ZED & PEXZED. Another happy zed all thanks to AUS300ZX.com. Love this site very helpful.
Excellent news I have never heard a TPS not allowing revving over 2500rpnm, that is calssic AFM, but I have seen a Zed with a malfunctioning TPS, it would barely run at all
Well that's because you'r right pexzed. I thort i'd fixed it cause i took for a test run an all was good. Untill i went for another drive an it all happened AGAIN. Ran a datascan an got codes 11&12 cas an afm. What do i do now? Repace both faulty parts or could it be the plugs even tho i cleaned them. Help please this is gettin frustraiting.
just a tip, slow 300 .. back to your first post .. suggest that you will not have to worry about your cas/afm for too long if you continue to leave your zed running at the servo while you disappear inside to pay for your fill-up ..!!!! ..
ha ha very funny. But on the other hand good idea thanks for the tip Would be interesting to see some one try to out run the cops only hittin 2500rpm which in 5th is about 85km/h
mate .. that was serious .. has been a bit of this reported in the press, recently .. along with leaving keys in the ignition .. motor not running ......
I think the 2500rpm really outlines the AFM as the culprit. Go with KZEDs suggestion, and swap out with a working AFM as a test, and go from there. If you could use datascan as you were driving, or even at idle, it may also indicate problems with wierd figures showing the airflow gauge (like it might read zero all the time) or similar.
