Yes. The AFM is the most important input to the stock fuel injection system. The car will not run without it.

No way around it uness you get a translator or a standalone. If you are asking if you can remove the AFM, I would guess that the translator and standalone may be a bit much for you at the moment.

The AFM meters the air coming into the motor, and provides the fuel interlock for the fuel pump. Without the AFM, the car will not run.
