I have recently found out that I have a short or a loose connection in the wiring of the plug that goes into the Air Flow Meter. I noticed this due to idling problems that were not resolved with timing changes or idle screw changes. The idle was bouncing around like crazy.



When I move the wires going into the plug the car will change idle and try to stall.



Can I get a new wiring harness for this? How difficult is it to change something like this? I am afraid to take the plug apart for fear i may find something I cannot fix. i have it temporarily fixed by holding in a position where it functions properly using wire ties but I know this will not last.



Any ideas? Thanks.



If anyone has this harness for sale or can part with one off of a parts car please let me know. This wiring leads into a larger harness that plugs in kinda behind the water pump.

yeah what banzai has includes the plug you need. Youll have to change the whole engine harness though.

I don't know if I have the knowledge to do it myself but I can find someone local to help. Sounds like a big job. And I suck with electrical ****.

I don't think it would be that bad, I just think of it like a lamp, that happens to have 20 plugs instead of 1.
