Got home from Daveys fine - it's definitely an improvement!
Bit of a shame, but the AFM was never supplied originally by the Seller, so Davey whacked one on for me, I bought another to try, but this caused poor idling tonight, so we left the initially temporary one in as it runs with it.
Unfortunately, this one is registering a fault on the ECU, and I was experiencing some misfiring on the drive back at various different loads on the throttle - but, hopefully a decent unit will cure this!
When I had it in the spots where it accelerated smoothly, I was impressed - even at up to half throttle (full was 99% of the time making it miss) I can notice a significant difference in how well this pulls...
So far, happy chappy!

Glad you got back in one piece
Its a real pain in the arse about that engine.. Bits missing PLUS the fact I had to spend extra time dismantling the one that was supplied.. Nightmare lol
The bloke clearly didnt understand what you wanted

Yep, I don't think he'll be getting Positive Feedback now. Especially as he said the transponder would be included in his listing...
Still, the hard work is done now, and I am thankful
Oh, and swapped the AFM at the scrappers, but I woke up late so didn't get a chance to try it before leaving for Heathrow (stopped to swap it on my way up), so will try it at the weekend, and will try to get one of them
Vent valve jobbies too.

Went to watch a local rally on Saturday - ended up at Bournemouth Airport too
Still playing up and misfiring intermittently and when under load, even with the AFM Earth Mod and another AFM - I found that nothing changed when the AFM was disconnected or not, so pretty sure it is the cause of the issues, so will be getting a new new one to try

You could try uping the fuel pressure a tad if its only doing it in the top end.

It does it mostly at lower revs when its cold, and struggles to get to higher revs
Then wherever it feels when its warmed up, and it'll go to higher revs without much issue
And if you just plant the throttle, hot or cold, it really struggles - gradually modulate the revs on and it copes fine
Does all that regardless of AFM being connected or not, with the earth mod done (which seemed to help the other day, but I had warmed it right up when I did that and it seems better warm so my improvements may not have been down to the mod as first thought, and just that it had heated up...)
We had the plugs out and all were pretty good, though if the ECU is getting a gash air signal, then will it try to run it leaner as a safety measure?
I need to check the codes again ideally when I get home again.

At low revs it will be an ignition of mixture problem.. Check the coil pack for cracks

Flashed the codes yesterday - paperclip trick worked!
P0100 Mass or volume air flow circuit high input C-10
P0100 Mass or volume air flow circuit low input C-10
P0110 Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input C-12
P0110 Intake Air Temperature Circuit Low Input C-12
P0443 Evaporative emission control system purge control valve circuit open C-28
P0500 Vehicle speed sensor malfunction B-10
Engine was off - so think the P0500 will be due to that, and I know the P0443 one is because I don't have a Purge Solenoid fitted to the plug yet
But the P0100 & P0110 are both related to the AFM I believe, so pretty confident that it's that causing the issues.
Also yesterday I did these;
- Removed, cleaned and Blanked the EGR
- Removed and cleaned the Coolant Temp Sensor
- Re-Covered the CTS Cabling due to damaged conduit
- Reset the FPR to around 55 psi/circa 3.8 Bar (it was at 45-50 psi/circa 3.1-3.4 Bar)
Then today I went out shopping...
And now it is FIXED!
A spanking new AFM from Vauxhall today saw to that, and I also got a Fuel Tank Vent Valve Solenoid to clear the related ECU Code
Left the battery disconnected for a couple of hours, then started it up and the light was on, but shortly went out and has been fine since
Drove up to sort some stuff out with a mate (Saloon on here), and also had him use an ECU Scanner to check it over - all codes cleared and not returning - all looking good.
Drove home with no issues either, so VERY happy to have it finally sorted
Now to get the Clutch done, the release bearing will shit itself very soon! It's whining like a proper bitch!
