Overtly Rich!

The old AFM was already on its last legs, it made both my car and my mates VL run like ****. The new AFM went fine in his car, but mine is rich like I say. The ECU is showing fault code #12 - air mass meter. The unit itself is fine like I say, i wonder if the plug or circuit could be screwed?

Check the wiring and the connection/contacts. If you have some contact cleaner handy use that. Common problem on VL AFM plugs.

Cleaning and fiddling diddnt make a difference, even re-wired the plug in the hope it was a broken wire within its insulation. No dice. This is getting me cranky...

Well I'm stumped, I understand the cranky feeling. Im known to put holes in the garage wall with 12mm open enders

What about your o2 sensor?

When in doubt, get a professional to look at it, even if they do charge like a wounded bull.

Hope you work it out

Wonders of the RB20E - no 02 sensor, as they were origionally a leaded fuel car.
I wonder if I can screw the AA out of something that might help...

Thanks for your help anyway Jake, I'll letcha know how I get on.

My HR31 had an o2 sensor.

just out of curiosity, what do your spark plugs looked like, fouled to the shthouse?

if the fuel aint burning it'll just be pouring out the back.. plugs, leads and the like.

Well in latest news I replaced the entire part of the loom that runs to the AMS. Good news, the car runs better and cleaner! Bad news, its got a hell slut of a miss in it! Prolly just a dirty plug from the dirty dirty running of the week past. But as yet I cannot be bothered pulling the plugs to look at em. Besides, the olds have gone away and left me the VP so this intrepid reporter is not too annoyed.
