Hi guys so as a few of you may be aware i have been having a couple of issues with the soarer!
Recently it started to have idle issue and a loss of power combined with running like a pig. After some reading on this forum (extremerly helpful i might add) i had come to the conclusion that a common problem with them is the idle control valve, have replacing all the bearings and cleaning this item right up the problem remained... Next i disconnected the ecu and hey presto it ran like a rocket and was barking the wheels out of every intersection! So i thought oh well beauty its the airflow meter so i pulled it out, put the airfilter on the intake pipe and let the missus run it to work and back like this while in pursuit of a new afm. In my treaks of trying to track one down i got in contact with a pretty knowledgable guy named nick off this forum not only did he advise me to hook the afm back up asap due to the possibility of fouling the 02 sensors but also worded me up on the possibility of this been and ecu problem and not the afm? My question and so favour that im asking here is wheather there is anyone in perth area that has a v8 afm spare/handy/ anything that i could test on my car to see if this is the issue or if indeed it is further down the chain of things to look at such as ecu. Cheers justin
