Yes the AFM is down near the bottom of the steel tube (you can see the wires coming out of it in the second photo)so the straws are very close to it. It took a while to guess what it was. Initially we had three suspects - 1. Fuel pressure. Manged to find out what it should be and set it to 62psi, no changes. 2. Oxygen sensors. There's two of them and for a while we thought that maybe they'd gone back in their holes in the wrong spot. (one probe does cyls 1 & 4, the other cyls 2 & 3) I disconnected them to see if it'd make any difference and it didn't. After digging through some old build photos I found that we did indeed put them back into the wrong holes and after a bit of cursing and swearing found that it was bloody nearly impossible to swap them back over without pulling half the the bits & pieces off the engine on that side. So we ended up just swapping over the plugs, as they only go in one way. 3. The last one was turbulence in the inlet, and a few days ago I took the pod filter off to see if it'd make any difference as to how the car drove. It did; It was barely driveable so I thought I might be onto something there. A bunch of straws, superglue, rubber bands, and tape later and I knew we'd fixed it. Fug it feels good. Now to get the speedo working, the big rear brakes (pick up the new discs tomorrow) and a few other things and the car will be in bloody good condition again. [Report message to a moderator]
