Well now has a BIG problem, I send my car to replace the freeze plug, so today they finish but when they go and test the car, beings the problems.

The mechanic told me, when the finish all engine wiring connection, and star the engine at idle, the engine was excellent, but then they go for a road test before call me.

SO they went to some AMPM to buy few think and the mechanic said, let see how this run under pressure, so test the car in an open straight street, so when they shift up to 2nd gear, he hear an explosion and a black smoke begin to go out from the tail pipe!.

So the mechanic call me explain to my the situation, I told him to check the fuel pressure, and was at 50psi at idle oH sh!T:icon_cry: ,

I go immediately to the workshop and check all vacuums lines and everything was fine, we reduce the fuel pressure to 38psi, but the black smoke continue coming out, the mechanic remove the AFM connector with the engine running and have no deferens:aigo: .

Right now is too late to check voltage and make some test:cry: .

So what do you thing ?
is the AFM damage?
Could be damage because a over mega rich condition?

Really I don’t believed, because I have a wide band O2 meter, how the mechanic didn’t check the fuel pressure before a road test?


AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!, This sucks!:1zhelp:

Dude i understand there is a language barrier here but this stuff cracks me up. Im was ROFLing when I read it. It sounds like Ali G's character "Borat" is typing this. :biglaugh:

Anyway, to be some help, I would check your engine codes. Is the check engine light on? See if you have a code 24 in there which is for a AFM.

Hope this helps

Sounds like he used www.freetranslation.com. I'm serious. My spanish teacher yelled at me for using that site for my spanish homework. The sentences were all broken and shotty.

You cant hurt the AFM from running a extremely rich condition. Even though you dont have a code, the AFM can still be bad, and just sending out a frequecy that is to high for the air that is coming in. You said you heard an explosion, was it more of a pop that sounds like you popped off an IC pipe coupler? Check over your IC piping and make sure you have no leaks.
