Rob, thats quite possible. The pattern unit was allegedly the equivalent to the OEM part number 22680-30P00 but who knows. I`m just glad the thing is sorted and I can use it again, certainly had enough of Mrs H67 whining about it!! And Rob, thanks for your input, most helpful and appreciated.

Well, my original AFM was dead, the engine ran like a bag of nails and unplugging the AFM made no difference ~ as if it wasn`t there. Bought a pattern AFM which improved things but not completely so my mech went looking for other faults and found the RH oxygen sensor was failing and lots of base...

Right, the Z lives again. My mech, an ex Nissan man, has finally sorted it. Turns out a combination of poor base set up, the RH oxygen sensor dropping in and out and a dead AFM was the cause. Here`s some advice ~ don`t buy a pattern AFM. A used genuine item has transformed the thing and it now...

Thanks Rob, all good suggestions. Will pass them on to my mech. The bastid thing is going in the sea soon.:unsure::(

Right, the Z is still dead. Found the RH oxygen sensor was dropping out so have replaced it ~ no difference. The fault appears to be only affecting the RH bank of the engine. Anyone have an idea what could cause this bank to run rich?

Update 2 Consult test only showed no response from TPS, replaced it ~ no difference. Can anyone recommend a specialist in the South East? I`m off work this week so would be good to get it sorted. Thanks.

Thanks Rob. Interesting what you say about the O2 sensors not showing a fault code. I checked them with the ECU diag and they came up clean. Will have a look into obtaining a new pair of these jokers. All the injectors look fine and there are no obvious fuel leaks anywhere. Won`t drive it into...

This is starting to hack me off. Have now soldered in a resistor to bypass the knock sensor and fitted a new temp sensor. ECU now happily reports a 55 and sticks with it. Engine still not happy, horrible flat spot/hesitation between 2 and 3k revs. Above this its fine,pulls well and ticks over...

Thanks guys, much appreciated. Rob ~ Connector looks OK. Mike, would be interested to know more about price and availability of your sensors please. Have found a video on the web showing the sensor relocation which looks straightforward so will have a crack at it. One other point my ECU doesn`t...

Update. Have fitted new AFM which has improved things greatly. Engine now runs much better but still hesitates at between 2 and 3000 revs. Disconnected battery to clear the fault codes and got the all clear code 55. Ran engine,(no change), ran diag again and now get single code 34. Repeated this...

Thanks guys, have cleaned the connectors to the AFM and the engine temp sensor, all appear OK. Ran the diag on the ECU and have 3 codes, 34,12 and 13. Det Sensor, AFM and engine temp sensor. Unplugging the AFM with it running has no effect nor does bridging across the terminals on the engine...

Help, any pointers would be appreciated.( 95 NA Z32 no mods 60k miles ) Perfectly OK when last used a couple of weeks ago. Started up today, clouds of black smoke running like a bag of nails. Ticks over OK but won`t go over 2500rpm when it spits and farts like buggery. The exhaust gas is very...

Excellent news. :thumbs: Thanks for that. ;) Best I have a look at it then.:smash:

Thanks for the replies chaps. bazza ~ thanks for the offer, will bear it in mind. Unsurprisingly since posting the original message the speaker is working fine so could well be a wire/connection problem. Have now noticed that bugger all sound comes out either of the rear speakers. Still, no-one...

The RH front door speaker on my 95 Jap Z32 is starting to cut out occasionally. Without actually taking the door apart to check I think its original. Are the speakers anything unusual? Can I just get some of the same size and bolt them in? If so what size do I need. I`m not interested in...
