That is interesting Laughing

My 5M-E is running a little rich all the time and it's driving me insane after the petrol prices... I am going to take it to someone who *knows* how to tune it. The 5M-E isn't a performance motor but it sure beats walking...

Cheers.

I'll be very surprised if you can find someone to "tune" the ecu, its analogue, not digital... very crude, and not tunable.

around the back seal on the AFM the piping is a little bit kinked up, but doesn't look like it is letting any air in. I also have an idle problem, it seems to idle about 200-300 rpm less than it should. the 5ME should idle at 950 and mine idles around 600-700. I should check out this kink, in fact i might put some duct tape over just to create a nice seal!

Maybe try spraying 'start you bastard' or something highly flammable around where you think it may be sucking in air? If there is an air leak it should pick up revs....

Also its really only if the air leak is after the AFM that you would effect anything (besides sucking a small amount of unfiltered air...)

well i dunno how u can tell if its lean or not, but i have noticed when it get over 5000 it feels like it has no more pick up, is that a sign of it being too lean ?

I'd be surprised if the 5me runs lean anywhere Razz

, they seem to all run rich from what I have seen...the lack of pickup is just the engine (power curve etc), they are very 'breathless' at high rpm.

Cheers
