Subject:Need instructions on field R&R of AFM '84 1.9L Van down

I barely made it to my Florida home last night.  Started out from Macon,GA,
where van had been running "like new."  About forty miles down I-75 van had
of-and-on moments all the way to Valdosta (about 150 miles).  Van was idling
rough but evened out after I filled the tank.  Went next fifty or so miles but
then performance got erratic, especially when going up hills.  Finally made it
to north side of Ocala and van would not idle when I got off I-75.  Refilled
tank and made it across FL 40 and down US 17 to my home and into with only
having to stop at one light.

I suspect AFM.  My office is sending me my spare so it gets here Friday
morning.  In the meantime, need to see if I can repair the one I have.  Need
instructions on how to get top off AFM so I can clean contacts and make sure
wires to connector are tight.

Thank you,

John
