v8bobber Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 hi all, I have been out tinkering with the trialler this afternoon in an effort to sort out a "wheezing" intake on the trialler. I suspected that it was the raised air intake but instead I traced it back to the air flow meter. Basically, whenever i opened the throttle there was a squealing noise almost like a whistle. Anyhow, i pulled the airflow meter to oneside and the trialler started playing up, failing to idle properly and stalled a couple of times. I thought that i may have pulled a wire off or something similar but checked everything and all is ok. Its had some running issues in the past and i think now that it may have been the air flow meter all along. I will try and borrow one off someone to test it before I buy a new one but i cannot seem to find a definative answer as to whether the part number on mine ESR1057 can be replaced by the more common ESR 5198, generally these seem alot cheaper! If any part number geniusses are online I would appreciate it very much! Thanks Dave R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 AFM are engine specific. EG Flappers are all much of a muchness, Hotwire 3.9s same, 4.6s same. Minor changes between each of the engine types Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8bobber Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Cheer Nige, So will a 5198 work with my engine? It has been de-catted with a different resistor by the way. I was confused by the engine specific / minor changes thing. I'm easily confused mind! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Whatever your engine is, whatever variants are listed for that engine, maybe with differing engine number break points etc will work. Tune resistor changes cat to non cat HTH Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
