First thing to do, check the connector to the AFM is firmly plugged in, if that doesnt solve it, then buy contact cleaner or MAF/AFM cleaner (please don't use brake cleaner!), take it off and give it a good clean. If it still problematic then it could be the dry solder inside the unit, it can be repaired though, search the DIY or General Maintenance section for the guide on how to resolder it (or take it to someone you know who can do basic soldering)... if that still fails, buy a AFM to replace it.

cheers for the info. found out the problem, after cleaning it three times, i finaly drove it around until it started running really rough and then stoped and checked the airflow meter. i started playing with the connection and it ran fine again. drivign around tonight, i had to stop a few times to play around with the plug to get it running good again...so annoying, any thoughts on how to fix the connection problem?
