Howdy all;
Over the weekend, I did my first engine modification ever to my '85 - by
adding the "capacitor fix" as described in the archives.
However, someone else on this list mentioned opening the AFM and cleaning it
with electronic contact cleaner, and/or resetting the position of the wiper
arm to a less worn track.
My question is: How do you open the AFM? It looks like a sealed unit to me.
Just to be clear, I'm looking at a box with a rounded left side, slightly
above and slightly to the left of the box where the air cleaner lives. It
has a 4 wire connector going into it. It appears to be attached to the
aircleaner as well.
There appears to be a "glue seal" of sorts between the top of this AFM and
the lower portion, similar to how the older hard drives were sealed.
Am I looking at the wrong thing? Or do I have to break the thing open and
then re-seal it?
Help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope!
TTYL
