Subject:Re: loss of power at certain rpm

Wouldn't the AFM be more load dependent?  To the AFM,
it doesn't know (or care) what the RPM is, just how
much power the engine is putting out...

Now if that 100rpm range was different at 1/2 throttle
or 3/4 or full... that would be more AFM related (or
at least so it seems to me).

Hall sender/distributor should be the only
RPM-specific sensing thing in the engine.  After that,
the ECU reacts to that input.
