Error codes?

How's the timing, both mechanical and ignition?
the timing is fine, thoe my first injector black washer looks to be chiped but don't see or smell any strong gas sent.

You sure the timing is mechanically correct too? What the timing light says isn't all there is to it... just in case you don't already know that.

Hear any hissing from it? A crack large enough to pass air in the injector washer can allow a lot of unaccounted for air into the cylinder... not really a good thing. That won't make you run rich... lean on one cylinder if anything.

And you still haven't answered the question as to whether or not there are any diagnostic codes stored.

Uh.... hello?


You've got a diagnostic error code stored for the VAF and you're thinking your rings are making you run rich? Sorry, but, do you know what an air flow meter does.


EDIT: Testing procedures are here:

BTW, the acronym MAF is most commonly associated with Hot Wire type air flow meters... Don't find these in any model of MKIII. The MA70 (MKIII with a 7M type engine) uses either a VAF (Vane Air Flow, 7M-GE) or a KVAF (Karman Vortex Air Flowm, 7M-GTE), when referred to generically AFM (air flow meter) is the preferred acronym. You'll get a lot of argument asking for a MAF for a 7M in a parts store. ;)

Thanks for the supra 101 lesson.:icon_redf and knowing is half the battle,l.o.l.after i forgot to plug in my afm i turned the engine on and the fan severed the wires and i had to rewire them and covered them with electrical tape temporarily. before this misshap it was'nt running rich.I think the fan might of made a short in the harnes.what do you think?
