Need Urgent Help With Afm

[RBTWENY5]

ok i took my afm off n i noticed the mesh on either ends of it yer well one of the mesh bits was all torn n had holes in it so i thought i may aswell just take it off n then i just put it all back together n i started it up n took it for a drive n wen it revs above 2500 revs it starts to jump, sorta like when you stall it so i have no idea wat has happened i dont know if its that mesh bit or if i have plugged the afm plug in wrong or wat so if you know whats happened please let me know asap

cmon people need help bad

[a31lunacy]

check its plugged in right and that the terminals are clean and making good contact it will only plug in one way just put the plug on and wiggle it around a bit might help. did you drop the afm while it was out ???

[RBTWENY5]

nah mate didnt drop it will try this tho

[RBTWENY5]

will not having one of the mesh things be a problem

[R31Nismoid]

No. You've just not plugged it in right, or damaged the plug/wiring/AFM when removing/refitting. Cant be anything else

[RBTWENY5]

so can anything major be damaged

so basiclly just replace the afm n plug how much would this be hopefully cheap or can a mechanic fix this

[jutto87]

check the little sensor inside the afm if it looks like it has been damaged then you need to replace your afm. otherwise you can go to supercheap and by this stuff in a spray can caled mass airflow cleaner and spray the insides of the afm. the mesh missing wont make any differencs. didnt on my afm.

this was done before all the things listed in the first post the thing that the afm plug plugs into my mate said you have to take this off to see if its all clean inside the afm it looked all gd so we just bolted it back in could unbolting this have anything to do with my problem
