Hey people,

I'm not quite sure exactly when this started happening, all I know is it was not long after I got the car running on all 6 cylinders.

Now, when it cold starts, it tries to die, splutters for a sec, races up to 2000rpm and then hunts around, then as it warms up, either a) tries to die or b) idles like with a slut.

Occasionally it will just sit there hunting wildly, sometimes even a few hundred revs. It idles smoother when it's revving higher but there is still the occasional pop from the exhaust. Under WOT, it appears to drive well, although I've not been in another 1GGTE powered XX to compare Razz

There is a distinct smell of unburnt fuel that really burns your eyes. I've changed the AFM, and the new one was in spec for the voltages and the adjustment screw had a seal over it so I'm assuming it's set to factory spec. I've tried a different ECU to no avail. I used the Jaycar DFA to remove some fuel from it, and taking ANY away caused it to go from bad to worse.

Nearly all the sensors I checked previously and they all came up good, which is why I tried replacing the AFM as this was the only one a little dodgy. It's not throwing any codes.

Does anyone have any idea as to what this could be? I'm leaning towards a vacuum leak, but cant for the life of me think where the hell it could be coming from, I've clamped all the vacuum lines and checked (as far as I can tell) all the other piping is sealed correctly. If someone thinks this matches the symptoms though, I'll check it again. The other things I'm thinking of are spark plugs being crudded up, haven't checked them since the new injector.

Please help, the car is doing my head in at the moment.

Cheers,
Nathan
