Relays clicking after installing refurbed AFM

Post by Fiatbrit »

Hello,

Just installed my refurbished AFM from Python Injection. They did a great job and it runs well. The only issue is at Idle the relays under the passenger dash click continuously. Once the RPM is increased it stops. Any ideas on why this would be happening. It idles smoothly and runs fine but the clicking is annoying at idle. Please advise and thanks to all for the great help and feedback. Sorry I have a 81 Fiat Spider 2000.

That will wear out the relays pretty fast. Try increasing your idle speed.
Likely the fuel pump contact in the AFM is at the opening/closing threshold. The long term solution would be to adjust them so they are continuously closed [on] at idle (but open if the engine stops).
