Hey all-ive been polishing up and cleaning up my engine bay.Ive put the car back toegether.It runs and idles but when rev it once it gets past 2000rpm it coughs and splutters and cuts out.Also made a few knocking sounds which i didnt like.My old man reckons it came from the airflow meter?
When unplug the AFM the idling of car doesnt change so im guessing its stuffed? Or cold it be somthing else? Also is the AFM off a normal vl the same as a turbo one??
THANKS

NO...I bought a AFM off ebay.its off a standard vl -im hopeing there the same???
In past ive unplugged AFM and the cars idling changes-the fact mine doesnt now makes me think its the afm-plus i tried pulling it apart to spray and polish some parts --eeek...fingers crossed thats all it is...
ps look on ebay they go for dirt cheap-Im going aftermarket comp so only need somthing to get me to the tuners : P

100% afm, if you replace the afm and still no good, check the wires in the plug, prodominently the thick orange and thick black ones

If you unplug your afm and car runs the same then your afm is stuffed, if you found a broken wire/fuse in there then lol yes it's stuffed!
