    Do you have the adjustment screw on the 1UZ AFM? Is it open or closed?

    Hook up the check engine light then bridge the connectors on the diagnostics port.

    Hi mate, you'll need different injectors or you'll be walking a fine line as far as leaning the engine out. A 7M doesn't need any more encouragement to go 'bang'

    so the engine was not drawring air through the new AFM? you just connected it and left it sitting there in the engine bay?

    that would affect everything

    This has made my night!

    Dude, the air flow meter measures how much air is getting into your engine. If all the air getting into your engine doesn't flow through it, then things will be all sorts of bad.
