Right, ordered an AFM from e-bay, for £18. It arrived today, I put it in and its still the same. I have a dilemma... What if the replacement has been damaged in the post and its also duff?!
The car will run pretty much OK without the connector to the AFM, but has just failed the MOT on emissions.
I have an LPG conversion but its the same whether running on petrol or LPG, so I don't think its an ECU problem.
This all started a couple of weeks ago when the car started running on 4 rather than 5 cylinders. A change of spark plugs appears to have it running on 5 but the car cuts out at junctions and there's huge throttle hesitation. When the AFM is diconnected it runs fine, although its down on power.
Any more ideas folks?
