The mechanic who worked on my 86 vanagon finally returned my request for
information and said that my AFM "passed a resistance test".  He says that
indicates that my AFM probably works, but....
from the vanagon.com traffic I have heard, the AFM (Is that the little in
line cylindrical device near the air filter?) may not function properly
because of some wiper arm problem?  I probably have this all wrong.

This same mechanic said that he had concluded I do not need a new AFM, but
need the little in-line circut that stablizes the current. Naturally, this
is contrary to what I first understood from them.

I am slowly working my way through and cleaning all the grounds I have been
alerted to, before going on to other diagnostic tips I have got from the
list. (thank you) I thought someone out there may be able to tell me if this
resistance test is a meaningful diagnostic indicator of the condition of my
AFM?

Thanks, Jeff
