Welp since this thread is so conviently here lol...
Got my code 31 after I accidently spilled some coolant on my air filter and like a dumbass started the car...obvious bad AFM right...well Idk...went to get the car from my driveway to my brothers garage (mine is packed full, and his is heated) a few blocks away. Was just going to limp it there to go to work on it...so code 31 yesterday and hard start, sporatic idle that would even out, give it throttle and let off and it would want to die out, then recover, vf readings all over the place at idle....then today go to start it, lil rough start then bam fires up and no more MIL, perfect steady idle, perfect 2.25 vf so drove it around the block, all good, around another time even better...parked it back in my driveway...
Looks to me like I may in fact not have a bad AFM and have an intermittent problem with wiring between the AFM and ECU. Thinking about just clearing the code and driving it and seeing if it comes back. Is this a good idea or is there an obvious quirk here? I mean does an AFM go bad and cone back to life lol?
