You can get reconditioned units for around 250-400, someone on the board here paid 600 I think it was for a new one, awhile ago. Good used ones are usually 100-150. Definitely not worth any of it.
You should be able to repair yours if the board isn't badly damaged.
Should you scrap yours, I'll offer you $25 for the connector socket you unscrewed.

What?!! $1800 for a new unit is ridiculous!
Went to Bursons and the guy there said they're around $500 and I told him there was no way it is worth that even! lol. But seriously, it is definitely not that complex a piece of machinery

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

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.

out of curiosity what do they charge for a new AFM.... i went to my local dealer and they wanted $1.8k.......you can guess my reaction.

you could buy another motor and gearbox for that price!

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

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

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.
