hi everyone,i need a new airflow meter for my v6,it is definetly capput,idling is all over the place and sometimes it just stalls,this is since i put a k&n 57i onto it i dunno i must have been to heavy handed,standard airfilter/box back on now.I have disconnected the multiplug to the meter so the car wont stall all the time but its now as flat as a fart,just wondering if anyone knows if 1.5s or 1.8s meters are the same as finding a v6 in a breakers might be difficult.I'm desperate as i need car for xmas holidays.

have taken meter out of car,there is supposed to be two very thin wires inside it on top of 4 small pins,one of them has broke for sure,the remaining thin wire seems to have some sort of diode i think but im not sure its that bloody small.

If the wires broke then its useless to you mate by the way i priced up a new airflow meter for my 1.8L a few years back when i was having troubles,it was worth something like $3400 AUS

I thought I was having trouble with my airflow meter - turned out to be a loose connection ! In the mean time, I was looking for a replacement - Mazda wanted a rediculous amount - R7,597 (about 700 pounds !). I managed to buy a second hand one from a breaker for R950 (about 90 pounds) which is just as well, seeing as I didn't really need it !

What it all boils down to is if you have to buy one from Mazda, you may as well buy another car instead !!!

thanks for the reply smotter,i phoned dealers and they quoted me just short of £700!! with the vat,the parts man even sounded embarrased ,a scrappy not too far away has one for £150 so it looks like i'm going to have to splash out unless someone in club knows of any breakers in uk where i could get one a bit cheaper .

finally got my airflowmeter £85 all in(very reasonable) from simpsons brothers of york,they were breaking a black V6,car is running well again

i did exactly the same thing as you

well, they should of labeled it saying 'dont touch'

Great feeling when you get the working afm back on. I was scared shitless when i buggered mine up :mrgreen:

Good Old Simmos I used to live in York and back in my Mini days was visiting sommos every weekend. I used to know the brothers too.
