So I got car running, but it dies after idling for 5 seconds, and if I hit the gas-blaam, instant death. car is throwing water temp code, o2 code, and afm code, It's the afm thing i"m wondering about though, I have just installed metal intercooler pipes, and am awaiting a connector, so one pipe isn't installed and theres just an open ic pipe going into the throttle body. Would that cause code 31 or is my afm just plain bad?

and yeah, I am too anxious just to get the connector tommorow, I must now know to plant the seeds of buying a new afm , just in case

it's plugged in, ho ho ho , so I'm gonna go with the bad afm..., but the question is, does a broken afm give me an excuse to buy a lexus afm...oh the confusion is so befuddling....hurm.....well how much for the stock one?
