So what about the Oxygen mix control that on AFM? should this not be
screwed with? How should it be set?

The Temp 2 sensor is new. It might be possible he connected the wiring
wrong.
?Which sensor is the temp 2? The one in between the the pushrods or
near the water pump unit?)

Now how does one set the for the throttle position switch setting and
Intake air sensor in the AFM?

Is there anything bad about buying a used breather tube vs a new one?

Thanks,
