Removing the afm plug - 4AGE 20v...

[ADIKTD]

Is there a nack to removing the plug? Just the plug, nothing else...

I bought one of these http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 58.htm?p=6
For my corolla and thought I would give it a go... it only cost me $3.50 cos it was a dollar reserve and I won it at that price! it's a tiny little diode thing that plugs in two of the wires from the afm plug however removing said plug is a mission!

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Josh

You need the flick the little spring wire off first.


But you sir, are feeding the idoits by buying that.

Its a resister... a $0.02 resister that makes your ecu think its a different temp...

Dont do it

Don't do it, just open it up and post pictures of it, also e-mail pictures of the device to Trade Me, saying it is a fraud. I will give you $5 for your hassle.
In fact send it to me, I will give you $5 and I will follow it through.

Argh! We have finally answered the question of "who buys these things?"

good thing you didnt pay the full $40 mate... near miss there definitely...

This is what came in the letterbox from this:



I opened it and got this:



and this in a bag:



This is it:



Sergei keep your money - But find me some AE101 2 door monsoons and I'll worship the ground you walk on!

[sergei]

This is it:

Whoa, they did not even bother to put it in the box!!!!!
I can't believe, they pass this as a "chip"!!!!
Basically what it is: $5 worth of packaging, and 5c worth of resistor (with heat shrink on top).


As for monsoons, e-mail Mr Revhead, he well have better luck finding them, I struggle to find ST205 monsoons... alternatively AE101s are pick-a-part regulars so try your luck there.

[sergei]

I have reported again with links to this thread and another thread in off-topic.

[Mr Revhead]

piss off with ya monsoons.
no longer available.


waikanae eh.
time for a posse!!

[Bling]

hahahha man thats hilarious, I really hope (excluding you) the people that pay for that feel even more stupid when they open up their $79 package to find that!!

even more stupid than that day they sent off $10,000 to Nigeria to secure their cousins uncles dogs $450 million wealth

waikanae eh.

but I want my monsoons , do you know how much it sucks to put the window down and have all this water from the roof drip onto my lap?

Anyway I have reported the scam to Commerce Commission and Consumer Affairs, so I hope it will have some effect, since now I am completely sure what the "chip" is...
