Did you read the entire post from JetJock? It's not very long, but I think you missed part of it. I can't verify that myself, but JJ usually knows alot more than I do. Unplug it, and try again
i unplugged it, tried it. killed it then pluged it back in tried it. then disconnected the battery for an hour. then tried it again. still same ole same ole
yikes, something else must be awry. I've forgotten to plug the AFM connector multiple times and the car still idles. It limps, but it'll run for a while.
i pulled a spark plug also which was really dirty. maybe its causing it to foul out and with a messed up a/f/r already cause it to run so terrible?
Assuming the TPS is setup properly, it will run up to 3k rpm without the AFM connected. It uses a 3 point fuel map to do this, and the STA and IDL inputs. It will definitely run. JJ made a video driving around the neighborhood with the AFM disconnected.
Sometimes it takes a few starts to set the AFM fault code and turn on the MIL. Also, make sure the TPS IDL signal is adjusted right or it will not run.
