thanks guys about the AFM. i know what to do with that now...
however, things are still going stupid. symptoms:
* Doesn't idle- when you start the car, you have to keep your foot on the accelerator otherwise it will stall. Its okay when it warms up, but still then idles between 4-600rpm and still makes a burble/popping/rough exhaust sound.
* Cooling system was going fine until today- normal driving (no boosting) had it going up and down like crazy. Coolant in overflow tank goes from being full to being nearly empty- both when warm, sometimes it does one, sometimes the other.
* Since last night the accelerator has gone a bit silly. It kind of chugs when you're trying to keep a constant speed, (ie 60kmh)... seems to be fine though once you put the foot down once or twice and it goes fine...
* creamy stuff on the top of the engine oil cap
* but aside from idling and the flat spot, the car still runs EXCEPTIONALLY well. Blows no smoke at all. Both mechanic and natrad think it isn't a headgasket, because of the amount of water lost vs. car performance etc.
so, the car is off the mechanic again tomorrow, these are the things i'm getting checked:
Compression check
Ignition and Cam timing
ISC Valve (Idle speed control)
Cold Start Injector
Air flow meter
Oxygen sensor...
any more help would be fantastic
