Just a general observation about the AFM. I think a quick way to check the condition of your AFM is to see if you can hold various rpm speeds up through the idle to 3000 rpm range. Before I replaced mine, the engine would not go smoothly from idle to say, 1500 or 2000 rpm. As I pushed on the pedal, it would sort of sit there, then go up to 2000 or higher. It was nearly impossible to back down from 2000 to 1500 and hold it there. I believe this is a sign of worn out AFM. With the new unit, I can move smoothly up through the entire range and hold it anywhere between idle and 3500 rpm. Of course other things can come into play, like vacuum leaks, ignition, distributor wear... The new AFM was worth the cost. (This was for an '85 Digijet.)
