Yeah, it was late when I sent that!  I've often run in test mode with just
the AFM hanging off the intake pipe.

If the AFM falls off the airbox where it is mounted with 4 screws..
the engine will run just fine.
It will be on unfiltered air, but will run just fine.
Not a 'running connection' there ....just a filtering air one.

That'll do it!  There should be four little bolts sitting on top of the air
filter that should be used to make the AFM to AF housing connection.  It's
odd that this could happen.

Spot-on! The the throttle body came off the air filter housing. Not sure why
I didn't spot that right off. THANKS!

This will prompt a long thread!  Make sure the connection to the air
flow meter is fully attached.  It's likely some sort of fuel problem
either from a large vacuum leak or something came unplugged.

85 1.9L. Running fine this morning. Time to come home from work.
Starts, dies. Won't start with throttle open. Dies if I try to give it
gas. I'm not out of gas, and there seems to be plenty of pressure at
the "t". What else to check?
