Lend an AFM for 10 mins,help
 
Is there anyone down the Rockingham way who can lend me a" known working correctly" 2001 WRX Air Flow Meter. I just need to try it out in my car for about 15 mins of driving to see if its the problem in my car= Missfiring,hesitation,bogging down , before I fork out for a new one...

i would,

but i am afraid it would come back missing some sections off the front, poorly painted and sikaflexed up

The fact I don’t even own a wrx should help you even more

Hey bud I've got one on a 2004 wrx. Not sure if they are the same but if the are I'd be more than happy to help u out.

Fellow member Anthonyglew was nice enough to pop around tonight,I borrowed his AFM for a 10 min drive about and the difference was noticeable right away!. Definate accelerated much faster than before,didnt hesitate on take offs or splutter about BUT still had a bit of hesitation Mid Rev Range??.


I got home put my old AFM back in,went to drive off and a CEL Engine Warning light comes on?, I hooked up the scanner and it says" Mass Flow Air Sensor Low Voltage" ,its never done that before?. I cleared the code took it out again for a slow drive and no error came up again????.

Ive parked the car up and off to buy a new AFM tomorrow

Cel confirmed you got dodgy AFM
Did you clean it with electrical contact cleaner

Marti 23-05-2013 07:11 PM

If for some reason you cranked or tried to start the car without the afm plugged in then yes it will throw a code . sometimes the code gets stored in past memories.once you fit the new afm clear the ecu of all codes and it will be fine

Yeh guys I did clean the AFM last week with Electrical Contact Cleaner and it changed nothing.

I never have cranked the car at all with the AFM off,twice last week I used the scanner and no codes or pending codes came up at all.. I'm now concerned I might have done internal damage to the motor, ie running lean from dodgey AFM though ,Ive not been thrashing it about but still......
