Don't try and fix it! I tried to get my mate (engineer) to fix mine and it didn't turn out well..these things are fragile after 20 years lol

It will run without it on "memory" but it wont really be drivable. The black socket is attached internally to the board and usually when those two screws are removed it breaks the solder connections and ruins it.

My suggestion would be to source a good condition working AFM, so yes you are up for another unit.

Have someone that is familiar with MR2's take a look at your car & help you.

Ah damn it lol.
My hastiness to get it running has cost me way more time and money! Oh well least I know what the go is now.
Thanks heaps for your help mate, Ed

Thanks MuMan might get the soldering iron out and see if i can't make it work!

i work for a toyota dealership.
so if you need a new air flow meter and its an oem model give me your vin number and i can price a new one up for you.
if its an import i'll need the japanese frame and models numbers.

Thanks Jimmy, am on a bit of a tight budget at the moment and am tending towards either fixing it or picking up a cheap second hand unit unless you guys can hook me up with one for <150 lol

No probs..
usually it's the fuel pump actuator arm (1) out of place, and 4&5 torn off the circuit board.

you could buy another motor and gearbox for that price!

yeah i had a quick check before i left work on a AFM from an import sw with a 3sgte and it was somewhere in the realm of $800 at trade price. even more interesting was that Toyota Australia no longer had the part number on file.
so even if you were willing to pay that much for a new unit you'd have to hope that a special order would be accepted from japan.
but without a frame and model number i can't be 100% sure on that
