Give brad a ring, he should have 5 or 10 laying around he is like the king of stagea spare parts, they keep going on his stagea, then coming off, then going on, then off, etc etc etc.

oh and what is an AFM?

classic.

Its an Air Flow Meter. Meters the air going through your intake. More air means more fuel.

I know on my mini the suzuki AFM was huge restriction. Removed it and went Map sensor.

btw the actual sensor wires that hang down in the middle of the afm can be cleaned with metho (or other non-residual contact cleaner) fairly easily. I've done it before - just remove the afm by itself and run some metho over the "sensor" (not the electrics - obviously leave the cover on the plug and leave that part well alone).

Then leave it in the sun for a while until its dry (metho evaporates very quick) and then put it back in the car...

I had trouble a while back with an oiled air filter stuffing up the afm. a quick clean of the afm and it would run good again, but before that it would not idle properly and generally be a bit stuttery when driving...

just something to try before replacing it completely. its an electrical component so not any more likely to play up than any other electrics as far as i know...

I used to have some of this liquid called Saphire. It was made by Wormald, who make fire fighting equipment and the like. was great for cleaning electrical gear because it didnt conduct electricity. great way to clean out mobiles and things, cause you could completely submerge the phone in the liquid. funny to ring the phone and here it still ringing in liquid.

but used to clean my car parts in there too. perfect.
