I went with a Standalone EMS and no longer require the AFM. I wanted to cut the AFM connecting plug, shrink wrap the wires and tuck it into the harness somewhere to clean up the engine bay further. Is it as simple as doing this or do certain wires need to be connected for the car to run correctly? I ran a search, but failed to find a direct answer on the matter. Thank you.

 

What standalone did you go with?

All you need to do is jump/bypass the fuel pump interrupt relay. The cleanest way to do this is directly at the relay to the right of the steering column. This way you will not need any wiring at the AFM.

 

As long as the wires are taped up properly then that's all you should need to do.
