okay guys, after having problems with my car sputtering, I acquired another AFM (2nd hand) the car was running fine for about a week or two. And then a couple of days ago it started playing up again. I then took out my K&N filter and gave it a wash in warm soapy water ( a fair amount of dirt came out ) and also sprayed electrical circuit cleaner on my AFM, and put it back together. The car then started driving fine again. Today while out on the cruise I noticed the car had started sputtering again.

I am thinking either:

1. Another dodgy AFM
2. A dodgy K&N Pod filter
3. An air leak somewhere along the line

What do you guys think??

Also I realize that if I ditch the CAI it could fix the problem, but i really like the noise it makes

If i did ditch it do you think it would still not drive correctly as it has been tuned with the CAI on?

Pretty keen on getting this sorted out asap as i think it is making my car run quite rich as it has been backfiring a fair bit and using heaps of fuel.

Any info would help greatly.

Cheers
