Turbo AFM
Hey all,
My Air Flow Meter just failed on me at a local autocross. Its stuck wide open and its making my car flood unless I keep my foot to the floor...doh! Is there an easy swap out there that someone has done to a hot wire unit or similar without the big expense of an aftermarket engine management system. Thanks all, |
Or has anyone taken the time to figure out air flow volume vs. voltage so I can figure out my own conversion to hot wire.
Too bad my FSM doesn't have it posted right there for me :rolleyes: |
....hmm, or reach in there and force the flap closed. Then try to prop it just a quarter of the way open. You'll be able to idle ok and flutter the throttle. Probably have ok power under 2500rpm or so. That'll get you to work and back I guess if that's what you want. You can buy them used. I saw a few on zcar.com classifieds. A couple for the turbo were only $60!

Bleach,
I had to remove it to get it unstuck. It moves freely now, but I'm afraid it'll do it again. I also don't like the slow reaction of the flapper type AFMs and the fact that there is a mechanical piece in there to add to the chances of failure. That and its a pain in the neck to get to on a hot car at an autocross event...doh! |
