If those >are good, open the air box so you can get to the vane and move it. Forgot to say, if either of the above tests are bad, you have an open connection between there and the ECU, or a bad ECU. The +5 comes from pin 19 and the ground from pin 6 at the ECU. Also forgot to say that if you have the VW-syndrome dongle attached to the AFM wire, you have to remove it before making these tests. It's also conceivable that the dongle itself could be causing a problem, though I've not heard of one doing so. If you have the capacitor fix that should not change anything.
