By tape, do you mean tap? If you are tapping the afm and it is affecting the way the car runs, it's bad. Plain and simple. You can buy used ones off ebay or at the junk yard, Lexus 1UZ V8's use the same sensor (not the same housing). You may want to consider replacing it with a maf translator and a GM maf sensor. You can probably buy both new for less than a new KVAFM.

hmm might have to try that, for the sake of science.
boy that would be a great prank to play on a buddy.
