I had the same problem with my R32, got a secondhand AFM off this site for $40 or something, worked like a charm. If there's none on this site maybe try jap wreckers.

It's simple to change it over too, I did it myself and i'm useless.

well..... i was driving along the highway and it started to jump and splutter... it has just had a major service with timing belt and full diagnostic... and everything this is fine, it was going better than it ever has beofre, got to an overtaking lane and it died....

so i got it to teh side of the road and popped the bonnet, i knew what it was becuase it has happened to me in another car, so immeditaly i unplugged the afm and it would idle perfectly and it would rev slightly..... the instant moment i plug the afm back in the rev drop and it coughs and splutters and dies.... i unplug... restart and its fine again, so it HAS to be the AFM....

I had the same problem with my AFM. They get dry joints inside the sealed area where it connects to the PCB. I ripped mine apart and resoldered all the connections, whacked it back together and sealed it all with silicone and it didn't miss a beat for the next 1.5 years.

Worth a shot

oh ok, so i just pop the lid where it is sealed?

Yeah, just use a stanley knife or something. It is sealed with sikaflex or something similar

If you think it's dead, you can't do any worse by having a go at repair!
