Can you clear that up for us.
K&N Filter=light surging for a week----------> Catch can= bad surging instantly?????
That correct?
bought new genuine filter today and cleaned MAF sensor and much to my extreme disapointment problem is still there, any other reason for this?
You could try disconnecting the battery for half and hour, this will reset the ECU.
Do you have any air leaks at your catch can? did the surging start when the catch can was installed? you could try disconnect the catch can.
You may need to check for faulty codes. Do you have a mate close by that you could try his MAF sensor in your vehicle?
was doing this before the catch can instal also no fault codes have come up and don't have any mates with a gu commonrail. also just come back from a diesel specialist MAF could be calibrated to the engine so not sure if you can just swap them over...
I don't believe that the MAF will be calibrated differently or tuned to a specific engine. I replaced mine twice over five years with the old zd30 and they where just Repair by replacement. Can't imagine that the CRD would be any different. Call Nissan up. May sound obvious or stupid but how is your fuel and filter? All your problems seem to coencide with the filter but does not hurt to check your fuel bowl. Blocked filters can reak havock on fuel injected engines be it petrol or CRD. When was the last filter change? Have you checked for water? Also on the fuel rail is a pressure release valve which could be releaving and building pressure over and over. Maybe rip out the Steinbauer and see if that changes anything, I believe that type of module brings up the fuel pressure to get more in (Don't quote me, just think out aloud). If you where worried about the catch can ( some are too restrictive and will create a high crank case pressure and start pushing oil out through your turbo seals) just pull the hose off the input side of the catch can and let it breathe to atmosphere for a bit. It is illegel to run this way but it will tell you if that is the problem.
hi how are ya going ... being a mechanic i would not use a K&N filter due to oil in the filter ... it fouls up the MAF sensor .... ive always used a normal non oiled filter
g'day tenchy, yeah mate not good problem still there i have replaced air filter with genuine nissan cleaned maf sensor is now down on power and using i bit more fuel too. don't know what to do? can't afford to throw any coin at the bitch at the moment (bloody christmas) bah humbug!! i had a "G" scan on it before xmas and no fault codes came up the mechanic said it could be boost leak and wanted to put it on the dyno but again i didn't have the bugs bunny. i have even tryed the deisel injector cleaner and put it in every fill but no good, its doing my bloody head in not to mention my wallet. if any one can help i would be stoked................
I know how the no coin feels .. My clutch burnt
Out a week before chrisse
