Exclamation Tried to mod the AFM... Problems!!!

Ack, well i thought i had done it right until today...

I had modified my AFM by adjusting the cog 4 click lean and reseting the ECU. That was a day or two ago. On my way to my friends house the idle dropped at a stop light and my O/D button started rhythmically flashing on and off. The car seems fine when it drives but almost dies at idle and seems sluggish, could this be due to what i did? What does this mean?

Basically.... Help.

Update:
Read my user manual. Says it's a problem with the Transmission and should be checked immediately...

Back to Aamco!

Update with questions:

Aamco said the speed sensor had seized up and melted causing liquid plastic and nylon to leak into the transmission causing all hell to break loose. They put in a brand new transmission and a new speed sensor. They gave my ES back to me with the ABS light staying on. They said it's on because they had to run the car on the rack with the wheels off and said it would go away after 100~150 miles. Would what they did cause the light to come on and will it go away?

It should go off even sooner than that. When they ran the car up in the air, the wheels were spinning at very different speeds. The shorter axle (Left) usually spins a lot faster than the right, and the rears were not moving at all. So i suppose that triggered the light, but it should have gone off almost immediately. When I put my car on the emissions dyno at work, the light comes on but goes off the second i put it back on the ground. So check the sensor wires for damage and have them fix it if necessary or do it with a butt connector.
