hey guys, so came to find that the afm was causing my car not to start. it starts when its unplugged just runs really rough. when its running i plug in the afm, bam car dies. so i am not sure if the afm is bad or what. some help would be awesome. all i did when putting in the new intake was paint it and cleaned it with throttle body cleaner. so yeah, dunno if that was bad, but let me know before i have to buy a new one.

oh man, i've been so excited i haven't been on here much. found out that when i pulled my adapter part of the afm off just a little bit at the beggining of my project that i torn off the three contact points inside it. why would toyota make something that comes off with two screws so easily then it breaks the whole thing? its retarded. cause its like they use it to sell parts. lol. anyways, found a guy who had one off a four runner that worked! i'm so excited cause she started right up and has been running strong. did you all know that those where compatible with our cars? kinda convinient to know.
