Re-conditioned AFM?

[BigOne]

I have replaced my AFM with second hand ones twice in the last few weeks, now I'm starting to wonder if it's possible to re-condition them?

and,
The last one I took off, the car was running super black, barely running, and I put on another AFM, the car ran OK again.
The AFM I removed was near 650ohm across pins 1-6, and 1.6V across pins 2-3, back-probed with the ignition on. So it looks OK, but the engine would hardly run.

any ideas?

its Fu*#ed

reconditioned would roughly cost same as a second hand one man so just go wreckers and get another.. keep reciept just incase it is already stuffed from accident and check the hot wire inside is not broken.

thanks nath

if the hot wires look in good condition pull the lid off and hit all the solder joints with a soldering iron and try it they are bad for dry solder quite often makes them like new worth a go if its just sitting there ready to throw out

its worth spraying the sensor wire with contact cleaner
