Thanks, Joe.
What's wierd to me is that neither =
unit shows a
steady increase or decrease
in resistance as the flap is =
opened. More
like a "hump", i.e. resistance slowly
rises until about half open, and =
then falls
again. It's lowest at either end of the
travel. Make any =
sense?

Steve,
The one with the drop-outs is =
bad! The
resistance should rise steadilly as you move the arm from idel =
position.
When the computer gets to the "drop-outs" it sees it as a lot of =
air and
adds more fuel and that's when things go south as far as running
go.

Dear List,
I'm trying to tell if I need a =
new air flow
meter for my '86 Vanagon.
Can anybody enlighten me on how =
resistance
should change
as the vane moves? My =
manuals (even
Probst) are vague.
I have two AFM's in hand. =
Both show
similar resistance changes
with movement, but one seems to =
have some
drop-outs.
Couldn't locate anything in the =
archives.
thanks,
Steve
