Dont confuse the air flow meter with its newer counterpart, the air mass sensor. The air flow meter is a half mechanical (internal swinging door) and part electronic (printed resistor circuit board and potentiometer finger) while the air flow sensor is all electronic device. Both monitor intake air as the throttle plate is moved upon acceleration so that the computer can actuate the injectors either allowing less or more fuel into the engine accordingly. Leaning this device is a mechanical operation which involves tightening the clocklike internal spring that tensions the mechanical door which moves when the throttle plate in moved to accelerate. Tightening the spring leans the engine (less fuel) and loosening the spring richens the engine (more fuel).

To properly adjust an AFM you need a 4 gas reader and you have to adjust the Co2.

So whats the purpose of leaning this out? Is the stock calibration that rich? How would one know if its lean/rich, meaning "right" without monitoring real time data while runnning?

@SteluB02GTR i agree it should be left alone. but take my case i have a 91 miata i am replacing the miata MAF with a rx-7 MAF (ya it actually fits) so thus the MAF has to be adjusted or else it runs too rich.

why you need to adjust your MAF? and if you change something there, the CPU should give errors, and that MAF can disorder alone?? The best should be left as they thought the factory ... no?
