afm problems?
 
problem: anything after around 25% throttle, the car falls flat on its face, almost stalls, unless i let off the gas and put it back to 25%...

brought my car to the shop, hoping that the problem i had was a fuel filter problem, they installed the new one, i swing by after work at like 6:30

they say no dice, and i'm hanging around there for about an hour and a half, mechanic says it may be an AFM problem, i'm like nooooo, it just felt like i wasn't getting any fuel

he said the afm might be shot, but the car ran fine last week!

i'm just growing sadder and sadder by the day when this fucking car keeps getting fucked up
:(x 10

=[

Did they also change (or clean) the in-tank filter?

Does the car run fine for a couple of minutes before it starts bogging?

no
it just runs super shitty =\

i don't have all kinds of money to get all types of parts either, which really really really really sucks

that's why i'm so upset

BLAH

ps: thanks for your input

Pull that fuel pump, take a good look at that in-tank filter- won't cost ya a thing...

he was checking the AFM and said that there was no voltage going through it, which could be why i was either a) dumping too much fuel
or b)not getting enough air
which are basically the same thing...

but when i go back tomorrow i'll see if he checked the fuel pump and in-tank filter, fuel pump is in good shape though, i'm pretty sure

thank you
