    losing powa

    alright lately ive been losing alot of power in the light/mid throttle area in the 2-3k range
    at first when it happened the AFR would spike up really high (lean) i even saw it hit 20 a couple times but more recently it has been dropping low like to the 12s

    what im thinking is my AFM board is scored and it may be sticking some too, any other opinions, im also planning to check out my tps again

    A bad AFM would be a likely cause of a midrange power loss. Swap in a different one and see if things improve.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

              The green and white heater wire coming off the O2 sensor relay becomes hot when the ignition is turned on. That's how I wired up the relay for my brother's elec. fan.

                  I'm still shocked you're using an AFM with a built 3.0 M20.

                      ok, i read the first few posts, until i realized you paid (how much for the Mchenry work) for a 3.0 m20 stroker, and you still run it through an afm.

                      come one, at least go maf and piggyback.

                      Please..
