How did you remove the VAFM? I hope you didn't try to undo the screws on it & mess up the inside....you're supposed to remove the metal clip & it comes right off. Your starting issue sounded JUST LIKE a fried or unhooked VAFM issue...

I found one in the junk yard and replaced the unit as one piece. It is running better now, still, no fire from cyl. 4 and 6. I can remove the plug wires without any change in the engine operation. I am going to check the plug in on the injectors tonight.

All mysteries solved. It is running on all cyl. finally. the last problem was number 4 and 6 injectors were not working... replaced w/ others I had and now the 3.0 is running on all cyl. Power is back. Does run a little high in the RPm's on idle, but I can address that later....FINALLY! So, I had to replace the knock sensor and wire, replace the AFM, Had two stuck valves and two injectors bad....... Time for ALOT of beer.....

good to hear, now for idle... standing in front of the car, look at throttle body ... see screw looking at u... flat head.. turn in it a couple turns tell about 800 rpms... and u will be done to drink even more. but not before u do that.

I have already adjusted the screw down and I still have an idle around 1100 rpm's in neutral. I am done w/ it for now. It runs and drives...
