Exclamation HELP!! Airflow meter or ECU 1.6L 90-93

Soooo my Airflow meter took a huge **** on me, car still runs fine to drive but it isn't sensing any change in the airflow meter vane at all. I'm in need of either a good 90-93 Miata airflow meter OR a good 86-88 RX-7 non-turbo meter (this is what is currently on the car). Ive been looking into ECU's b/c they are on the list for the very near future, problem here is $$ of course. If anyone out there has an ECU they would like to sell to me at a reasonable cost that would be awesome! Please let me know!

if driving the car like a "regular" human being it "drives fine". I have an AEM wideband on the car mind you. but if you punch it, the ecu is not richening up the mixture, the car has no ***** and is hanging up around 14-15:1 under WOT... when i checked the resistances in the AFM it is all over the place when i move the flapper. I have checked the wideband by swapping a sensor & gauge from a friends car and it does the same thing... readjusted the TPS, that seems to be fine and everything else is working properly.....

Ok, well, this is just a guess, but I'd wager that if the engine runs fine, with normal AFRs under average driving, that the AFM is probably just fine.

I'd be more curious to stick a cheap pressure gauge in the fuel line and see if the fuel pressure isn't dropping under heavy load. Might be nothing more than a clogged fuel filter or an aging pump.

ive checked fuel pressure under load, it is "in spec", ive got a 2 year old walbro pump in the tank and i changed the fuel filter with the pump... car doesnt bog down, acceleration is good but it is running more lean than it was. and has a lost its higher rpm power (this is using my premium ***-dyno). its definitely a bit slower, and when I ohmed out the AFM's flapper ciruit the resistance values were all over the place. Im pretty

Hustler- how much for the AFM shipped to 22554 and the ecu is stock? or aftermarket? my ecu is good but i am planning on going to a standalone very soon, just dont have the $$ right now.

I just gave the AFM away, but I can get it back. Rockauto has them refurbished for $150...how does $50+ shipping sound?

If you want the stock computer I'm going to have to dig, but if you need it and can wait I'll throw it in for free.

STILL IN NEED OF AN AFM! Miata, Rx7- dont matter to me just need one!. OOORRR a decently priced standalone setup that would allow me to delete the AFM completely. Thanks people

I have an AFM that was dyno tuned in the Milwaukee, WI area for use in Spec Miata. Apparently it opens up the top end a bit for 3-4 HP or so. When I installed it I noticed a bit more pull, but I don't have dyno proof, etc. You can tell it's modified when you move the flapper by hand. $70 + shipping.

I also have another stock AFM, $50 + shipping.

I won't need it because I am going to go standalone before this upcoming Spring.
