It doesn't have to be so bad that it doesn't run, it is degenerative the filament due to being heated etc the filament will have a shelf life so to speak
all it needs Is some dirt on the hot wire filament, high resistance etc it could still function OK, but not be operating as efficiently as it could be if that makes sense
Had the AFM come up with a code on the XEV. Dipped the filament into some alcohol/spirit to give it a clean and it was absolutely fine there after. Have sensor wiring grounding itself againstr the block can cause all sorts of ghosts too.
Just need to check over everything dude.
ICV ok?

Just to add to the above benn my XE stops running immediatly as soon as the afms unplugged!!!!
Hhmmm odd, A friends GTE runs fine just a bit rough with it unplugged.
Waiting on a compression test to rule that out/see if its that.
Hopefully it's not internal, but then again a perfectly justifiable reason to rebuild it :d (if you can afford it)
It needs a rebuild anyway, but was hoping i could do that over the winder months. Wanted to get an least 2more months use.
Hopefully it's not that then.
I just have no clue as to what it could be.
Bummer on the bad running. A mates LET Corsa had something similar last year and he had a dodgy afm and it was missing like hell, also if unplugged it cut out. Actually though the problem we found out later was a very small hole in the pipe that lead upto his turbo.
Did you do a compression test then? Sorry if I've missed it I'm tired lol
