Rough-running problem fixed on the SE-86	Thu, 10 November 2005 06:30

The Altezza 3SGE in my Sprinter has had a constant rough-running problem at part throttle ever since it's gone into the car, and the last thing we were going to try was to make a mesh to straight the airflow going over the hot-wire AFM in the inlet pipe, as we suspected there was turbulence affecting the signal it was sending tot he ECU. So! Cheap-arse mesh made - From $0.94 of drinking straws. I also got the cheapest superglue I could find, hoping that I could get it to 'wick' its way through the bundle of straws. Fortunately, it seemed to quite well. So, armed with a 70mm diameter glued-up bundle of drinking straws, I shoved the mesh up the inlet of the Sprinter and went for a drive. And it works perfectly now!!! Yee-friggen-ha!!! So I've cut the bundle in half to make it fit into the pod air filter and added some flyscreen mesh over the upper end to stop any loose straws from getting sucked into the engine. Here's the Bill-Tech mesh, just before fitting -> And here it is just before putting the air filter back on, taking from under the car. So at least the damned thing drives nicely now, I can get out & about in it some more - Once I get it re-registered. FWIW here's the engine in the car -> [Report message to a moderator]
