Unhappy Bad AFM

Been having some trouble with the car stumbling off of idle. Finally took the AFM apart and tested it. The first 10-15 degrees on the slider are pretty much dead. One look and I could see some major grooves worn through the surface. I tried to adjust the arm, but with minimal improvement. I guess I'm looking for a replacement.

I have not met a beaten AFM that couldn't be adjusted.
But anyway. 44andmoreparts.com is local to you.

I have an extra as well, shoot me a PM with your address and it's yours. It doesn't have the black cover, but you can use the one off of your old one.

Regards,
Russell

You might want to try THIS as a last ditch effort.

Now that looks like an interesting fix. I'll check it out tonight. Thanks.

Well, after two of the three screws snapped off my confidence in the circuit board is waning. Russell, I'm sending out another SOS. It's like some of the other post say, there are some great guys (and gals) on this list.

No problemo, I'll get it to you as soon as I can, but we're going out of town tomorrow and won't be back until Tuesday or Wednesday. I might be able to get it in the mail tomorrow though...
