Don't ask my how or why, but our newly rebuilt '85 spider runs (in the shop) better with the AFM disconnected? Since we got her running a few weeks ago, I could not located the cause of a "surging idle". Finally I pressurized the intake system with 5# of air pressure and went around with a spray bottle of windex. Wouldn't you know the "hard" plastic intake pipe over the camshaft cover was deformed? Who would have thunk? Luckly I had a spare (greenhoosier parts car) and switched it out. I quickly got it together and she fired up and idled smooth. While the engine was warming up I noticed the electrical connector for the AFM was not hooked up. I plugged it in and the surging idle returned.
The engine seems to run fine (in the shop) with the AFM disconnected, what am I missing?
thanks
