Ow bollox. Thats exactly what I did. Since K&N's are supposed to be oiled thats what I did after I cleaned it.

Is that the end 4 my AFM then, any ideas?

not sure, if it just has oil gunk in it, and ur sure its already shot i would suggest taking it apart and cleaning it out, taht may fix it... but personally before i mess with something like that i make sure it is already busted lol

I've had the AFM apart already, thought it looked a bit damp in the little holes that allow the pressure reading to be taken. I bet that was air filter oil. I wonder if I blast it out with carb cleaner and leave it on the boiler overnight to dry out it might do a miraculus recovery.

On another note, wheres the cheapest place to get an AFM from?

1. I'm a student at brighton uni so money isn't something in huge supply
2. I dunno if it even broken yet lol

get something that is for cleaning electrical stuff dont just spray it with carb cleaner o.o

good plan. Ok i guess i'll hav to leave it for now.

Don't suppose anyone knows what voltages should be coming down the connector to the AFM? I'm having trouble finding them.

Try resetting your computer. The way you do that is to remove the negative battery cable for roughly a minute and then reconnect it. It doesn't fix it right away. You have to start it and keep it running for a while cause it will try to die on you again. THe problem is the computer needs to relearn after a cleaning that good. It has all the old data stored from the way it ran before the cleaning and after the cleaning air flow is vastly improved. It will take roughly 15 to 20 minutes for it to re learn. Let me know if that helps.

did you plug in the afm?

binxy69 · 01-16-2008, 10:36 AM

I've tried all sorts with it, but its looking more and more like the AFM has had it. I've ordered another one from a breakers that has a warrentee on it (?75 :-( ) but at least if it doesn't work I can send it back and assume I hav another problem.

However I'm getting all the right voltages down the wiring and even after the connecter inside the afm, so really I think I've eliminated all other possibilites.

It should turn up today, but if it doesn't cure this problem, I will be royally stumped.

Cheers for your help guys, I'll let u know how it goes.
