No, you use it to tell all of us regular users how wrong we are, how ignorant we are, how stupid we are, and how reckless we are with our electronics.

Can't we just "vote him off the island"??

Amber Gramps

Jim, breath slowly. It's OK.

speaking of hijack...Ed, in your avatar, is your car sliding in the direction of the lines or just crossing over the lines?

Thanks Doug!

I wish Loren could beat me up on my other thread about the AFM.

I was hoping he was correct in that my AFM is not faulty but it apears it is: https://rennlist.com/forums/911-foru...le-only-2.html

Just crossing over the lines after leaving Cars & Coffee in Irvine.

I'm spending the night in Mojave @ the beautiful Motel 6....I'm going to be sliding around the Streets of Willow track this weekend with the POC! That's the only safe place to slide around. Well, maybe Palomar Mtn on some weekend days. Speaking of which, a run is set for 3/7, with lunch in Temecula afterward.

Jim, there is a guy on Pelican named Hugo I think. Ischmitz or something like that. I'd IM him and run this whole thing by him. See what he says.

You also can try kissing Loren's ring, but who knows if some kernel of wisdom will spring forth? I'd say your chances of that are running 10 to 1 lately.

Hey Rusnak,

Oh man, thank you so much! That is freakin awesome!

No need to worry at this point I am so humbled I really don't care if the Devil himself verifies my findings.

I just visited Loren's site and read his "AFM Voltage Output Comparison" It appears to confirm that my AFM is in fact toast. He stated most AFM's can last 200K well mine is about 185K so just short of the 200K mark.

In my findings I used the stat marks as my "degrees" as he has on his diagram. I am please that 4-5 volts DVM appears to be the normal max so the spikes of 7 & 6 are definitely out of range maybe aka "Flat Spots" but what worries me is the "0" degrees at 0.56 volts, according to his graph it is supposed to be 0.25 volts and my WOT should be 4.55+/- volts, mine is at 2.14.

I just realized I hi-Jacked my own thread, Doh

Hugo will help. I also think Steve Wong knows far more about this than he is given credit for.

Edit: I forgot about this guy also. He repairs ECUs but he might also know about AFMs. His stuff comes with a 5 year warranty. I bought a dme from him. It was very nicely done.

Ah Thanks Rusnak!

You are a Gentleman.

Yes, Steve has helped me allot. I amjust happy that I may have finally found the culprit to my smelly exhaust.

those vacuum leaks can be devilishly hard to find. See #36.

This is classic. Lorenfb is going after Steve Wong. Way to funny. thank you for the link.

That's where a lot of the contempt for his "highness" stems.
