The little cone thingy?

I think so but you need to push it in maybe to start it

If the AFM is unplugged, it will start, then immediately die. You MUST have it plugged in for the car to run.

On some DSM site this dude claimed his Eclipse could run and everything with no AFM (They call it MAS). Upon other taking theirs off to test this, their cars either wouldn't run or ran so poorly they laughed. To this day, I hear he still goes on with his story. Flaw in his lie is that he has no proof, and won't let anyone pop the hood to see if it's true.

Sideways has it right, for sure. Keep it in unless you want a 2,900lbs paperweight in your driveway.
