Has your AFM failed ? I hope not as we seem to be mirroring our faults and bolt ons and I could do without another bill.

And on that note, you might want to check the seam along the top of the exhaust Y piece between the lamda and where the pipe turns down to join the main cat, mines sprung a leak....

Don't know in short!
I have the same problems that other owners seem to have or own up to.
The main problem is replacing the correct part and not guessing it's the right bit
Had the car 3 years now and never really stopped this mild shunting.
So next part AMM buy new ebay? buy new TVR? buy secondhand same age of car maybe same problem?
If that don't fix it then lambdas £200 if that don't fix it.......
You get my point.
I think Moneypit got a great name
TVR Moneypit(2)

I bought my airflow meter off ebay from air flow meter company, err 5198 / 5am to replace a 3am type
Yes that's the one.
A bargain then??
Even if it doesn't cure the shunting

Mark,
In short do you think they left the factory like this?
Bear in mind these were a 30k+ car at the time.

Paul, Bought my AFm (ERR5198) from eBay for £59.90, that's what was fitted when we met up. Damn shame i didn't see the cheaper one

Bought it from Parnexion similar to Item number: 160291867485.

Gavin,
I did buy it in the end managed to get it for £40 delivered
Hope i have'nt got egg on my face if it's turns out to be crap



Looks the same to me

No mark.
I realise for the price it will be a copy.

plugged it in yet?

Not much point yet got a few minor bits missing off the engine at the moment
Hopefully tomorrow get my parts back then the reassembly starts at the weekend.

AMM now fitted and seems fine.
Idles at a steady 900 and revs rise and fall easily.
Used to have a small miss when blipping the accelerator quickly that's now gone.
On the test drive the revs picked up well and when stopping the car doesn't stall.
Obviously a longer test run is needed but the signs are positive.
BTW when i bought a second hand one a month ago and fitted it the car stalled most of the time so i was hesitant with the new one but as i say no problems yet.
See rocker refurb for picture.
I didn't reset the ECU after refitting the AMM,TP,and Stepper should i have done?
Regards

N, the ECU will just recalibrate itself for the new AFM if you leave it tricking over for more than about 10 seconds. The only time for a reset is if the ECU has gone into limp home mode if its had a major failure.

Thought so mark more like 15 minutes for coolant reasons.
As for markings old AFM has a white sticker on the side new one doesn't that's all.
Cheers
