I did pretty much the same thing. I wound up removing the AFM, and unscrewing the board from inside it. When it was loose, I moved the board to the wiper ran along a track parallel to the old one. It's buying me time, but it's not perfect.

I am hoping that someone can supply the answere to my problem before I pull what hair I have out.

The other day I replaced the temp-2 sensor, the oxs sensor, and then cleaned my AFM all to no avail. (In fact it's worse) It use to be before I did all this just mentioned that from a stop it would be a little slugis but once rolling it had power and ran fine until you stopped at a light then it wouldn't idle right and once you got moving, it ran fine. Anyway, after cleaning the afm now it will hardly go (no power) you really have to couch it by playing with the accilator to get it moving. And...don't even dare to pull out in traffic!! The only thing else that was done was that my mechinic atempted to adjust the air flow meter by moving the spring up a notch and also adjusting the gas mixture all to no avail. I wish I had just bought a new AFM and I beleave thats just what I am going to do.

Can anyone give me answers to get this van and afm back to being an enjoyable toy to drive? Please help

Chris
