Try putting the old AFM (not an MAF, btw) back and see what happens. Before that just wiggle the wires around the existing one while it's going through its dying-swan routine. If the old AFM doesn't cure it, peel back the boot on the plug and back probe the terminals, counting one as the leftmost. Ignition on, you should have +5 on pin 3, +5 between pins 3 and 4. If those are good, open the air box so you can get to the vane and move it. Measure from pin 2 to 3 (with an analog meter if available) and slowly move the vane. You should see voltage change smoothly from 0-5 volts (or 5-0, I forget which way it goes). If yes, shut off ignition and check for zero ohms between pin two and ECU connector pin 15. If ok, find a working ECU to trial-swap. Yours, David
