I think I need an air flow meter
 

So I just installed a cone-style air filter on my 87 na. Well... It's been a while since I have worked on any of my vehicles, and I am obviously a bit rusty. I unscrewed the electrical connector to the air flow meter instead of just removing the metal clip and unplugging it like an idiot. Now the electrical contacts inside of the air flow meter have come undone. It seems just about impossible to reconnect them. Am i right? Anyone in NC have a used one handy for cheap?

S4 n/a AFM are cheap. Put out a want to buy ad in the for sale section and be prepared to spend (probably) $20 or less.

Yeah, time for a new one. If you take them apart, it's not easy to reset everything and have it actually work.

I got one. Thanks everyone.
