AFM question

I was trying to install a K&N filtercharger kit and, well, ended up unscrewing the connector on the AFM which broke the connections in the unit. (I know, how do you do that? Installing a filtercharger is the easiest thing in the world, but I did...).. anyway, I ended up scraping the silicone off the plastic cover and getting into the AFM and I re-soldered the leads back together, put everything back the way it was, and the car now runs. Now, on to the question - How can I tell if I messed up on my soldering? What symptoms can I look for to see if the AFM's wires are crossed or if something isn't put together right?

Well, it seems to run the same as before.. would there be any sort of hesitation or anything if I missed one of the pins?

no it wont hesitate its all about idleability it wont idle if it does then it would be shitty and youd know it... if you resoldered them all and the solder is a good job then you probally did your self one up then what you had....
