Subject:      AFM Data Requested
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I am deep in my research to find a "modern" replacement for the AFM. You
all out there could help me by measuring resistance of your AFM.

There are the data points I need (measured with an ohm meter, engine
off, AFM unplugged):

1) Engine off resistance (between pins 2 and 4)
2) Idle resistance (you can probably see a spot on the traces were idle
is)
3) Full "open" resistance
4) Half "scale" resistance (move wiper to half way on the tracks)
5) Vehicle year, type
6) Engine year, type (be sure I know if it's not a stock engine, etc)
7) Part number from your AFM (important)

This is not something for the faint of heart, so you need to know what you
are doing. Here is the procedure:

0) Make sure car is off, battery disconneted for good measure
1) Open up "hood"
2) Open AFM (black cover is "glued" on)
3) Unplug AFM
4) Get ohmeter, and connect to AFM pins 2 and 4(ground). A digital ohmeter
is recommneded.
5) Measure the above parameters
6) Put everything back together
7) Email me the results. ;)

I will post a spreadsheet with my findings.

Thanks,

Jon
