Need some help!

Ok i want to know what i can get rid of in my 7. Like the airconditioning and heating. I'm still want the car to run right. Also do you really need the AFM? i think mines not working and i don't wanna have to replace it. Don't have much money.

yours is working..... maybe not 100%... but its working..... you couldnt drive your car if it didnt work! getting rid of all that crap is good for about 50lbs... or half a 10th of a second off your 1/4 mile time.... woohoo!!!

thx for the help, id rather get a managment system then deal with the afm, but if i can find one for cheap then ill go with that. Also my car does not run so thats why i think its the afm. You can hear it crank and the battery is fine. Have new NGK spark plugs so its not that either. When i take the afm off it acts like its going to start but it dosen't. when i put it back on it just turns over and dosen't act like its getting a spark. oh well.

Ok its the afm that was doing it, i opened it up cause it looked like someone messed with it. I found some connections broken, and one metal was broken off. I tried sodering the connections back together and the metal peice but the metal piece just woudn't fit right. But with the other connections back on, i put the AFM back on the car and it started and ran for a few seconds then cut off. So either i get another AFM, find a way to fix this one, or get a managment system.

Just get another afm. Aftermarket ems is expensive. Unless you want it then go ahead. Also it sounds like the car is flooded.
