Got everything all swapped into the new afm and started up the car. I adjusted it to get the idle right, but now it pretty much stops reving at around 2500. If I stay on the gas it seams to catch up, but whatever adjustment I make, nothing is working. The car is also flashing me a check engine light. Did I fuck up the board or something when I switched it over?

M30 afm help

Um, word. I just plugged in my M30 AFM, no electronics swap.
I started up fine, and idled okay, but well I opened the throttle it stumbled on itself.
Then I went to do an "italian tune-up" and it adjusted alright for WOT (and SOUNDED BADASS), but any partial throttle did nothing and just fell on its face. Also wanted to stall after every stop sign, only going at WOT.
I need to know exactly how Bryson made his work.
Did he have a JC chip? Should I take that out momentarily? And put it in later?
Ugh. btw, stock AFM is back in for now.

I had a stock chip. I moved the teeth on the m30 board over two teeth, I also used m20 AFM electronics. Disconnect your computer for 30-60 seconds then reconnect it and see how it does, after driving 7 miles the ECU should have adapted itself, if not, you need to swap the boards, or screw with the AFM
It works at WOT because the ECU does not take a reading from the AFM at all at WOT, it goes by internal settings

I'll deal with it this weekend. Have to deal with commencement, work, etc. until then.
But i think I can keep the M30 electronics, hopefully, and with probably pop the stock in there to see if it helps. The advanced timing, etc. of JC probably doesn't help with adjusting it to work, but I dunno.
I'll do the 19# injectors too, because my clicking stock ones are annoying!

If your car is stumbling, its because the M30 puts out a diff voltage and is telling your ECU to do something to the fuel that is way out-of-character for the situation. I think it might be TOO RICH, but not 100% sure. Don't run your car like that, its dumb. Adjust the spring tension using a multimeter.Michael Spiegle

Originally posted by rs4pro3Most likely You'll need to swap the electronics When I tossed my m30 AFM it did that. Supposedly only the newer E34 and E32 M30 AFM's will swap right in but the older ones require the circuit board to be swapped.
I wish I knew that. But Nando's was just so purdy.

First, graduate, then party, then make the stock airbox fit the bigger AFM.
That cone is just too big, I dunno how I could fit it in there with cruise, let alone a heatshield.
