Possible bad AFM

[lance75_280z]

Can a bad AFM prevent your Z from starting/flooding? My plugs aren't soaking wet but smell like gas. These are my 2nd set of plugs. B4 I had the Bosch and now I have the NGK's. I haven't done anything to the AFM yet but wanted to have it looked at before I take it to the Z tech in my area.....The connection is on at the bottom but I haven't been able to examine it THOROUGHLY!

Pull the airflow meter up to gain access to the filter end and see if the gate valve is moving freely, if it is seized solid use boeshield or some sot of spray lube to free it use a screwdriver to work it back and forth until it moves smoothly again, remove excess fluid and refit. I would also look at the fuel rail for a leak at the back of the injector, where the short hose fits or may be a loose fuel clamp. after that I guess set your ignition up again.

hope this helps
