Default 944 S story

I usually don't buy 944 na's for parting because there is no money on them, I do some S2's from time to time but na's nahhh, well last night I noticed a add on CL

944 NA 131K miles runs rough, well I though for $ 800.00 bucks you can't go wrong right. To make the story short it wasn't a regular na it was a 944S and the options sticker had these funny codes, I guess I was right you can go wrong for $ 800.00 bucks

if you open the flap door of the AFM with your fingers, it does run smooth, so I am thinking the AFM, or the TPS or the ISV? what do you think?

I think if you pull the trans and sell it, the idle problem will go away!
