The one I'd most want to get rid of is the AFM, who's mechanical
deterioration is the hardest to fix. I wonder if after all the talk
here on the list someone has actually come up with an alternative.
Actually, it should be the easiest because it's just translating a hot
wire sensor signals to the ones the ECU expects, which can be easily
measured on a working unit, as opposed to reverse engineering the ECU
or ISCU, and emulating the complex signals they produce (and also the
packaging, connectors and power drivers)..
You know what? I'll post it to the list on a separate and see what I
come up with...
